Part V : Spiritual Sex and Meditation
My teachings about sex are really based on the cultural heritage
of India. No other country has been able to find a philosophy
like Tantra, and Tantra is one of the greatest contribution of
this country to the world. And my teachings are part of Tantra.
It is up to date Tantra. last420
The sex I am talking about is spiritual sex, the divine experience.
I desire a spiritual orientation of sex. super05
I urge you to approach sex only when you are cheerful, only when
you are full of love and, last but not least, only when you are
prayerful. Only when you feel that your heart is full of joy,
peace and gratitude, should you think of having intercourse. A
man who approaches intercourse like this can attain sublimation,
and the ultimate realization, even once, is enough to free one
from sex forever. With one single experience, you can break through
the barrier and enter the periphery of samadhi. super04
You must strive for a continuous awareness of the glimpse of
samadhi in coitus. One should try to grasp that point, that glimpse
of samadhi which flashes like lightning in the midst of intercourse,
which shimmers for a second like a will-o'-the-wisp and then vanishes.
Your effort must be to know it, to become acquainted with it,
to hold to it. If you can make the contact fully, even once, in
that moment you will know that you are not a body, that you are
bodiless. For that fraction of time you are not a body; in that
moment you are transformed into something else: the body is left
behind and you become the soul, your real self. If you have a
glimpse of that glory even once, you can pursue it, through dhyana,
through meditation, to establish a deep and lasting relationship
with it. Then the path to samadhi is yours. And when it becomes
part of your understanding, part of your knowledge and of your
life, there will be no more room for lust. super05
To reach celibacy sex must be understood. To know sex is to be
free of it, to transcend it; but even after a lifetime of sexual
experience, a man is not able to detect that intercourse gives
him a fleeting experience of samadhi, a peek into superconsciousness.
That is the great pull of sex; that is the great allure of sex:
it is the magnetic attraction of the Supreme. You have to know
and to meditate upon this momentary glimpse; you have to focus
on it with awareness. On everyone its pull is so tremendously
strong.
There are other, easier ways to attain to the very same experience
- meditation, yoga and prayer are other alternatives - but only
the channel of sex has such a powerful influence on man. It is
very important to consider the various ways there are to reach
the same goal. super02
When, on the first day, I talked about the void, about egolessness,
about no-mind, many friends were not convinced. Afterwards, one
friend said to me, "I never thought about it before, but
what you say has happened."
A certain lady came and told me, "I have never experienced
this at all. When you talked about it, I recalled that my mind
becomes still and contented, but I have never felt egolessness
or any other deep experience." It is possible many have not
thought about this before. super04
