Sex and spirituality is a hot topic, especially in the western countries.
They think by sex they can achieve the supremacy of moksha.
And in the eastern countries it is just opposite.
They think sex is a bad thing.
If you ask a Catholic priest, Catholic nuns, monks, they think just to talk about sex is not appropriate.
If you go to the third world countries, like India, suppose, it's a developing country but there is a misconception about sex there, too.
As soon as a grown-up teenager, girls or boy, they begin to ask question about sex. They always talk about, it is a 'ghandibhat;' ghandibat means it is dirty talk.
They don't want to talk about it.
And no wonder, there are many rapes in this aspect. Because they don't have knowledge about what sex is.
Yes, all the religions, most of religions, they criticize the sex.
And I am one of them, too. I will criticize the sex.
Because sex cannot take you to the higher level. Because sex is a desire, it's, like, your craving.
And that craving which is like a hot topics today in the western countries. That's what I mentioned that they think they can enhance their energy by having sex, and they are wrong.
In the ancient period of time in India, there used to be a sect, and that sect is almost disappeared from India. They used to create energy, because the opposite poles, opposite sex, can create a lot of energy if they know how to do it.
It's not like they have to be in that act, the act of sex. No. Just to be near. Just to be maybe sitting close to it.
It automatically, opposite pole, it creates a lot of energy, it is like electricity.
In Sanskrit we call it "kamavasana." Kamavasana. "Kama" means sex, and "vasana" means desire. It's a desire.
Where there is a desire or craving of sex, your energy is going down and your chakra never will be awakened. So, the people like Osho, or people, like, other people, they think sex to supremacy.
They are totally wrong. And they got trapped into it, their whole organization got trapped into it. Even in their ashram, especially in India, they cannot even visit unless they test the disease, it's very horrible disease, it's spreading all over.
And this disease, AIDS, doesn't have even cure. They have to have that test. Why? because they believe in open sex. And that is, instead of going higher, they're going downward.
But the many people get trapped into it. And Indian, all Indian religion they criticize sex. Sex means kam, desire. But not a single religion of India talk about, or criticize about love.
There are two things. One is kamavasana, one is love. Love they always support it. Love between couples, husband and wife, they don't consider that is sex. Maybe their act is same,but it's a different thing. So, the sex, let me explain to you.
Sex, for the sex, Sanskrit word is "manoj," "manobhava."
It comes from your mind. Your mind creates this craving.
Even you don't have a partner, your mind will go on and on. And, it will create that desire, that craving, is very dangerous. It becomes your addiction.
And when it becomes an addiction this is really sex, and your energy going down all the time. Your chakra never will be awakened. As soon as your are in the lust, or in the desire of sex, your energy automatically begins to go down.
And there is no way to take it up. And you want to have supremacy? Like western people? they got stuck into it. Maybe sex to supremacy. They are wrong. They are killing themselves.
Instead of they going higher, their energy is going low. And no wonder, not a single person got enlightened in the western countries. Why? Because their concept is wrong. Too much into sex; kamavasana we call it.
The energy never will go there. Energy goes, flows upward through love, the positive qualities. And love is totally different than sex.
If we don't have knowledge about sex, knowledge about the, how to be really into, moving into love, that is not sex. That love can create such a energy and such a aura around you that you can achieve the highest state of the ecstasy.
Because it is ecstasy. Ecstasy can be achieved, but in proper way. Not by sex. Sex is totally different act. it needs to be criticized, but it doesn't mean you don't have to have knowledge. If you don't have knowledge it will be a dirty game.
If you have knowledge, it can be a blessings for you. Maybe you are married, your partner and you, flowing in the love, and that love will create a beautiful aura, a beautiful energy around you.
And it will create, it will expand the love into your family. It will expand the love into your neighborhood, into your country. That's what we call it, not kam, not sex. Sex needs to be criticized because it drains you. Love never drains you.
Love always take you higher. That's why people are confused about sex and love, and they got mixed with it together. When they got mixed it, they are confused, they are in illusion, especially in the western countries, it's new-age people.
They got trapped into it. Instead of going higher, they're going low, because they got involved into sex, sexual act mostly. There is no love. If there is no love, that is merely sexual act.
And sexual act will put you down, take you down. Your energy will flow always downward and you're never going to achieve the highest state of consciousness, what you are thinking about, ecstasy, or thinking about some kind of bliss.
It never going to be achieved by you. by sex nobody achieved it. Read the ancient techniques of India, Kamasutra. Kamasutra explained it, but Kamasutra doesn't explain about the sexual act.
It explained how to enhance your energy if you have a good partner. And they love each other, and when they love each other that love can expand you, expand your soul, and it will expand you on that level that your all the chakra can be cleared out.
And yoru spirituality begins. Why spirituality is being seen by the people as just another religion, kind of? Why? Because they don't have the right knowing, right knowledge about love.
They got mixed up with sex and love, and sex and love is totally opposite poles. You have to choose one. If you want to go higher choose love energy, not the sexual energy.
You don't want to drain your energy fully. You want to gain the energy. And for the supremacy, for the ecstasy, for the bliss, you need tremendous energy.
And energy comes from the first chakra to second chakra, and chakra bhedan happens up to seventh chakra. But if you are draining your energy by having sex, it is the same act like you hate someone and your energy will flow down.
You are too much jealous, your energy begins to flow downward. Same way, sex, desire, your energy will flow down and you never going to achieve the bliss, what you wish to be.
So don't be confused about sex and spirituality. Where sex ends, spirituality begins, because sex is gone fully and only love prevails. And when love prevails your energy is going upward.
And your spirituality automatically will be improving. So you want to be a spirituality, improve yourself, higher level. Don't drain your energy. Increase your energy. And awakening needs your energy, increasing energy.
