Silence shared in words

Sex Is as Sacred as Everything in Life
I have heard you say
that tribes which are not sex-repressive remain poor
and societies which are sex-repressive
rich and creative
Osho, your communes are not sex-repressive
and yet they are rich and creative
Can you comment?
It is one of the most
sensitive
areas of life
because it is concerned
with
the very life force
sex
The word has become too condemned
The reason
sex became condemned
was
because all the religions
had to be against
everything
that man can enjoy
It was their vested interest
to keep man miserable
to destroy every possibility
of his finding some kind of peace
solace
a moment
of oasis in the desert
This was
absolutely necessary for religions
that man be made completely devoid
of any possibility, of any potentiality
for rejoicing.
Why was it so important for them?
It was important
because they wanted to shift you
your mind
somewhere else
towards the other world
If you are really happy here
why should you be bothered about the other world?
