A small story:
A lady received a letter from her son’s schoolteacher.
The teacher had written that the boy was unable to see the board clearly and therefore made mistakes while writing.
The lady promptly took her son to the eye doctor.
The doctor examined the boy and wrote out the prescription.
It read: hair cut!
(Laughter!)
We laugh at this, but I tell you, in our lives if you see: If you go to the right person in the first go, you will get the right solution; else, you will go around in circles following useless patterns advocated by so-called authorities and you will waste your life.
Still worse, you will be advocating these patterns to future generations also. This is how convention sets in. When you allow convention to set in, it becomes a Herculean task to break free from it because convention becomes the truth over the years.
When the Master appears, his first job becomes to undo all that has been done to you. Only then, can he start penetrating you! Only then he can start showing you what you really are. It is a tough job for him because you have advanced so much in your own track. You have advanced so much that you wonder how you could be on the wrong track!
Coming back to the subject: What is sex?
Sex is a tremendous creative Energy. It is a meditative energy. The whole world has arisen out of sex energy.
Our ancient enlightened Masters, the Rishis, have given us great clarity on this subject. Do you know that Vatsyayana - the man who wrote the Kama Sutra, the book on the science of sex – was a sannyasi? He was a celibate!
In fact, he delivered the Kama Sutra to his own mother.
After his enlightenment, he came back to his mother one day.
She told him that if he was enlightened, then he should have insight into any subject on planet Earth.
He agreed and asked what she might like to hear from him.
She told him, “As your mother, I know that you are celibate since birth. There is no chance that you would know anything about the subject of sex. Can you tell me something about it?”
Vatsyayana smiled and delivered the Kama Sutra – the science of sex!
Vatsyayana was questioned once, “What authority do you have to speak on this subject?”
A natural question! I think many of you might be silently putting this question to me also!
The answer that Vatsyayana gave, I am translating into modern language for you, using a modern analogy:
An electrician who visits your home, knows exactly what happens when each electric switch in each room is put on and off.
He knows the entire circuitry hidden beneath the wall.
If there is a problem, he can gauge the possible problem and give a solution for it, is it not?
He understands the science of electricity.
On the other hand, you, who puts these switches on and off fifty times a day, have absolutely no idea what is actually going on behind them! Am I right?
Many of us know nothing more than how to put on and off the switches. That’s why we sometimes get an electric shock! So, understand: We may be fathers, mothers, grandparents – but still, we may know nothing about sex.
We are all under continuous hormonal torture. The television and other forms of media show lust in various forms and we watch this and think we know all about sex and love.
Only an enlightened person, can give you the science of sex.
