Αν μπορέσεις να γίνεις διαλογιστικός στη σεξουαλική σου ζωή....
"...Χρησιμοποίησες τις λέξεις ΄σεξ΄ και ΄έρωτα΄. Κατά κανόνα χρησιμοποιούμε και τις δυο λέξεις σαν να έχουν κάποιο εσωτερικό συσχετισμό. Δεν έχουν. Η αγάπη έρχεται μόνο όταν έχει φύγει το σεξ. Πριν από τούτο, ο έρωτας είναι ένα απλό θέλγητρο, ένα προκαταρκτικό παιγνίδι και τίποτε άλλο. Προετοιμάζει απλώς το έδαφος για τη σεξουαλική πράξη. Δεν είναι τίποτε περισσότερο από μια εισαγωγή στο σεξ, ένας πρόλογος. Έτσι, όσο περισσότερο σεξ υπάρχει ανάμεσα σε δυο ανθρώπους, τόσο λιγότερη αγάπη θα υπάρχει, γιατί τότε δε θα χρειάζεται ο πρόλογος. Όταν γίνεται διαλογισμός το σεξ, ανθίζει και γίνεται αγάπη και το άνθισμα αυτό αποτελεί μια μετακίνηση προς τη θεϊκότητα.
"Όταν κρατάς το χέρι της γυναίκας ή του άντρα σου, γιατί να μην καθίσετε σιωπηλοί; Γιατί να μην κλείσετε τα μάτια και να νιώσετε; Νιώσε την παρουσία του άλλου, μπες μέσα στην παρουσία του άλλου, άφησε την παρουσία του άλλου να μπει μέσα σου, να πάλλεστε μαζί, να λικνίζεστε μαζί, αν σας κυριεύσει ξαφνικά κάποια μεγάλη ενέργεια, να χορέψετε μαζί -και θα φτάσετε σε τέτοιες οργασμικές κορυφές χαράς που δεν είχατε γνωρίσει ποτέ προηγουμένως. Οι οργασμικές εκείνες κορυφές δεν έχουν καμιά σχέση με το σεξ, έχουν για την ακρίβεια μεγάλη σχέση με τη σιωπή.
"Κι αν μπορέσεις επίσης να γίνεις διαλογιστικός στη σεξουαλική σου ζωή, αν μπορείς να είσαι σιωπηλός όσο κάνεις έρωτα, σε ένα είδος χορού, θα εκπλαγείς. Έχεις μια ενσωματωμένη διαδικασία που θα σε πάει στη πιο μακρινή ακτή."

Οσο πιο σεξουαλικός είναι ένας άνθρωπος, τόσο και πιο ευφυής
"Συμβαίνει λοιπόν πραγματικά, ότι όσο πιο σεξουαλικός είναι ένας άνθρωπος, τόσο και πιο επινοητικός μπορεί να είναι. Όσο πιο σεξουαλικός είναι ένας άνθρωπος, τόσο και πιο ευφυής. Με τη λιγότερη σεξουαλική ενέργεια, υπάρχει και λιγότερη ευφυΐα΄ με περισσότερη σεξουαλική ενέργεια, υπάρχει περισσότερη ευφυΐα, διότι το σεξ αποτελεί μια βαθιά αναζήτηση για να αποκαλύψεις, όχι μόνο ένα σώμα, όχι μόνο το σώμα του αντίθετου φύλου, αλλά και το κάθε τι που είναι κρυμμένο."

Sex Is Potentiality
"When love expresses through you it first expresses as the body. It becomes sex. If it expresses through the mind, which is higher, deeper, subtler, then it is called love. If it expresses through the spirit, it becomes prayer....
“If everything goes well and sex is natural and flowing it is a beautiful experience because you can have a glimpse of the second through it. If sex goes really very deep, so that you forget yourself completely in it, you can even have a glimpse of the third through it. And if sex becomes a total orgasmic experience, there are rare moments when you can even have a glimpse of the fourth, the turiya, the beyond, through it.
"But if sex fails, then many perversions happen to the mind. These perversions are expressed in hatred. Hatred is a failure of sex, a failure of love energy. Violence, lust for money, the continuous conflicting attitudes of egos: war, politics – these are all sex perversions.
"A man whose sex is not perverted cannot become a politician. It is impossible. All politicians as such need deep sexual therapy, otherwise their whole energy will be. moving to gain more and more power. When sex is natural, you feel power, you are not seeking it. Sex is potentiality, power. You feel it showering on you, you don’t seek and search for it. But when you miss it there, then a great urge arises to seek power: politics is born. Then wars, continuous violence, are born; hatred, anger, and a thousand and one types of perversions."

Love Can Give a New Soul to Sex
"Love can give a new soul to sex. Then the sex is transfigured, it becomes beautiful; it is no longer sex, it has something of the beyond in it. It has become a bridge.
"You can love a person because the person satisfies your sex. This is not love, just a bargain. You can make sex with a person because you love; then sex follows just like a shadow, part of love. Then it is beautiful; then it is no longer of the animal world. Then something of the beyond has already entered, and if you go on loving a person deeply, by and by sex disappears. Intimacy becomes so fulfilling, then there is no need for sex; love is enough unto itself. When that moment comes then there is the possibility of prayerfulness dawning upon you.
"When two lovers are in such a deep love that love suffices and sex has simply dropped – not that it has been dropped, not that it has been suppressed, no. It has simply disappeared from your consciousness not leaving even a scar behind; then two lovers are in such total unity… Because sex divides; the very word sex comes from a root which means division. Love unites, sex divides. Sex is the root cause of division.
"When you make sex to a person, woman or man, you think it unites you. For a moment it gives you the illusion of unity and then a vast division suddenly comes in. That’s why, after every sex act, a frustration, a depression sets in. One feels that one is so far away from the beloved. Sex divides, and when love goes deeper and deeper and unites more and more, there is no need for sex. Your inner energies can meet without sex, and you live in such a unity."

Η αγάπη είναι επικίνδυνη, το σεξ δεν είναι επικίνδυνο
"Οι άνθρωποι που φοβούνται την αγάπη δεν φοβούνται το σεξ. Η αγάπη είναι επικίνδυνη΄ το σεξ δεν είναι επικίνδυνο, μπορείς να το χειραγωγείς. Υπάρχουν τώρα πολλά εγχειρίδια πώς να το κάνεις αυτό. Μπορείς να το χειραγωγήσεις -το σεξ μπορεί να μετατραπεί σε μια τεχνική. Η αγάπη δεν μπορεί ποτέ να γίνει μια τεχνική. Αν προσπαθήσεις στο σεξ να διατηρήσεις τον έλεγχο, τότε ακόμη και το σεξ δεν θα βοηθήσει να φτάσεις στο υπέρτατο στοιχείο. Θα πάει ως ένα σημείο και θα γυρίσεις πίσω, γιατί κάπου χρειάζεται κι εκείνο την πλήρη χαλάρωση.
"Γι΄αυτό ακριβώς γίνεται όλο και πιο δύσκολος ο οργασμός. Η εκσπερμάτωση δεν είναι οργασμός, δεν είναι οργασμικό πράγμα να γεννήσεις παιδιά. Ο οργασμός αφορά τη συμμετοχή όλου του σώματος: του νου, του σώματος, της ψυχής, όλων αυτών μαζί. Πάλλεσαι, πάλλεται όλη σου η ύπαρξη, από τα δάκτυλα των ποδιών έως το κεφάλι. Δεν έχεις πια τον έλεγχο΄ σε έχει κυριεύσει η ύπαρξη και δεν ξέρεις ποιος είσαι. Είναι σαν ένα είδος τρέλας, είναι σαν ένα είδος ύπνου, είναι σαν το διαλογισμό, είναι σαν το θάνατο."

Sex Is the Source
"Sex can give you the answer to what the reality of life is because sex is the most alive thing in you. Mind is the most dead thing in you and sex is the most alive thing in you. That is why mind is always against sex, and mind is always for suppressing it. They are enemies. Mind is a dead thing and sex is the life force; they go on fighting. And whenever you move into sex, the mind feels frustrated and the mind says, "This is wrong. Do not move into it again.
"The mind becomes the moralizer, the mind becomes the puritan, the mind becomes the priest. The mind goes on condemning. All that is alive the mind goes on condemning and all that is dead the mind goes on worshipping. And sex is the most alive thing in you because life comes through it: you are born through it, you can give birth through it. Wherever there is life, aliveness, sex is the source."

They Do Not Know Any Other Type Of Man
"Psychologists say that love is nothing but a foreplay to sex. They are right – because they have no other specimen to study. They study you and then they come to conclude that love is nothing but a foreplay – just creating a situation in which sex can happen, nothing else. So when sex has happened, love disappears. It is just like when you feel hungry you gravitate toward food and look at food with enchanted eyes. But when your hunger is satiated, you look away from the food. All the enchantment is lost.
"So when you love your wife or your husband, the love is just an etiquette to enter into sex – because it will be too rude to start… So it just plays like a lubricating agent. And when sex is satisfied, the husband moves to his own side of the bed and goes to sleep. He is finished; all the enchantment is gone. It will come again only when he feels a type of hunger. Psychologists say that love is nothing but a foreplay – just a mannerism. And they are right, because they do not know any other type of man."
False Phenomena Around Death And Sex
“I have said that man is afraid of both sex and death. That’s why they are taboos. No one talks about sex and no one talks about death. We remain silent about those two things. We have remained silent for centuries and centuries. They are taboo subjects, they should not even be mentioned. The moment they are mentioned, something starts trembling within us.
“It seems that there is a deep repression. That’s why we have created substitute words. In the western world they do not say “We are having sex.” They say “We are making love.” It’s a substitute word – and false, because love is a totally different dimension. Having sex is having sex, it is not making love. Love may include sex, but love has an altogether different quality.
“We never talk directly about death. If someone dies, we use substitute words. We say he has gone to the Father, or he has gone to heaven. Death is never faced directly.
“We have created many false phenomena around death and sex. If two people are going to be married, sex is not even mentioned – and they are going to be married for sex! We have created a great illusion around marriage, but the bare, naked fact is sex. We have created a ritual, a great ritual of marriage, just to hide the fact. Why?

“Why is there a taboo about only these two things? They are deeply related. The reason for their relationship is this: first, you are born out of sex, birth is sex. And birth and death are two poles of one thing. In birth, death is hidden. That’s why man became aware of the deep relationship between sex and death. Death cannot happen without sex, just as birth cannot happen without sex.”

We Are Afraid of Sex
"Unless humanity becomes non-suppressive toward sex, man cannot breathe really. If the breath goes deep down to the abdomen, it gives energy to the sex center. It touches the sex center; it massages the sex center from within. The sex center becomes more active, more alive. Civilization is afraid of sex. We do not allow our children to touch their sex centers, their sex organs. We say, "Stop! Don't touch!"
"Look at a child when he first touches his sex center, and then say "Stop!" and then observe his breathing. When you say "Stop! Don't touch your sex center!" the breath will become shallow immediately - because it is not only his hand which is touching the sex center, deep down the breath is touching it. And if the breath goes on touching it, it is difficult to stop the hand. If the hand stops, then basically it is necessary, required, that the breath should not touch, should not go deep. It must remain shallow.
"We are afraid of sex. The lower part of the body is not only lower physically, it has become lower as a value. It is condemned as "lower." So do not go deep, just remain shallow. It is unfortunate that we can only breathe downwards. If some preachers were allowed, they would change the whole mechanism. They would only allow you to breathe upward into the head. Then you would absolutely not feel sex.
"If we are to create a sexless humanity, then we will have to change the breathing system. The breath must go into the head, to the sahasrar - the seventh center in the head - then come back to the mouth. This should be the passage: from the mouth to the sahasrar. It must not go deep down because down is dangerous. The deeper you go, the nearer you reach to the deeper layers of biology. You reach to the center, and that center is just near the sex center - just near. It has to be, because sex is life."

Βήματα προς τη θεϊκότητα
Παρακαλούμε να μας περιγράψεις την πνευματική σημασία της σεξουαλικής ενέργειας. Πώς μπορούμε να εξυψώσουμε και να πνευματικοποιήσουμε το σεξ; Είναι δυνατό να κάνουμε σεξ, να κάνουμε έρωτα, ως διαλογισμό, ως βατήρα προς κάποια ανώτερα επίπεδα συνειδητότητας;
"...Χρησιμοποίησες τις λέξεις ΄σεξ΄ και ΄έρωτα΄. Κατά κανόνα χρησιμοποιούμε και τις δυο λέξεις σαν να έχουν κάποιο εσωτερικό συσχετισμό. Δεν έχουν. Η αγάπη έρχεται μόνο όταν έχει φύγει το σεξ.

Όταν γίνεται διαλογισμός το σεξ, ανθίζει και γίνεται αγάπη και το άνθισμα αυτό αποτελεί μια μετακίνηση προς τη θεϊκότητα.
"Δεν είμαι εναντίον του σεξ και δεν είμαι υπέρ του έρωτα. Θα πρέπει και αυτόν να τον υπερβείς. Διαλογίσου γύρω από τούτο΄ κάνε την υπέρβασή του. Λέγοντας διαλογίσου, εννοώ ότι πρέπει να περάσεις από μέσα του σε πλήρη εγρήγορση, με πλήρη επίγνωση. Δεν πρέπει να περάσεις από μέσα του τυφλά, ασυνείδητα. Υπάρχει μεγάλη μακαριότητα, μπορεί όμως να περάσεις τυφλά και να σου ξεφύγει. Αυτή την τυφλότητα πρέπει να την μεταμορφώσεις΄ πρέπει να έχεις ανοικτά τα μάτια σου. Αν έχεις ανοικτά τα μάτια, το σεξ μπορεί να σε φέρει στο δρόμο της ενιαίας κατάστασης."

Create Meditation Out of Sex
"The more you go into meditation through sex, the less effect sex will have. Meditation will grow from it, and out of the growing meditation a new door will open and sexwill wither away. It will not be a sublimation. It will be just like dry leaves falling from a tree. The tree never even knows the leaves are falling. In the same way, you will never even know that the mechanical urge for sex is going.
"Create meditation out of sex; make sex an object of meditation. Treat it as a temple and you will transcend it and be transformed. Then sex will not be there, but there will not be any suppression, any sublimation. Sex will just become irrelevant, meaningless. You have grown beyond it. It makes no sense to you now.
"It is just like a child growing up. Now toys are meaningless. He has not sublimated anything; he has not suppressed anything. He has just grown up; he has become mature. Toys are meaningless now. They are childish and now the child is no longer a child.
"In the same way, the more you meditate, the less sex will have an appeal to you. And by and by, spontaneously, without a conscious effort to sublimate sex, energy will have a new source to flow to. The same energy that has flowed through sex will now flow through meditation. And when it flows through meditation, the divine door is being opened."
