I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG IN SEX, IN LOVE, IN ROMANCE. You are on the right track. Love is the right track.
AND ONLY THROUGH A LIVED LIFE OF LOVE, PRAYER ARISES -- never otherwise. Only out of deep experiences of love, sweet and bitter, pleasant and painful, high and low, heaven and hell; only out of deep experiences of pain and pleasure through love one becomes aware. They are needed to make you aware.
PAIN IS AS MUCH NEEDED AS PLEASURE, because both work. And by and by, between the pleasure and the pain, you become a tightrope walker; you attain to balance.
BUT FOR CENTURIES LOVE HAS BEEN CONDEMNED, SEX HAS BEEN CONDEMNED. So of course, the idea arises in your mind that you must be on the wrong track. You are simply natural. To be natural is not to be on the wrong track. If you think in that way and you become condemnatory, then you will be on the wrong track. Then you will repress, and whatsoever you repress will remain lurking in your unconscious, in your basement; and then much ugliness arises out of that repression.. ..
EVERYTHING SHOULD BE DONE IN ITS TIME. Otherwise, things become ugly. A child running after butterflies is okay, but a man of forty running around butterflies will look mad. Young men are bound to be a little foolish. One expects that and accepts also; nothing is wrong in it. That must be something basic to life: to be foolish at some times -- because WISDOM COMES OUT OF THE EXPERIENCE OF MANY FOOLISHNESS'S. You cannot become wise suddenly. You will have to move, and go astray, and do many foolish things. And out of all those actions, foolish or otherwise, wisdom arises.
WISDOM IS LIKE FRAGRANCE, and experiences of foolishness work like manure. They stink! -- but beautiful flowers come out of them. So don't avoid the manure of life, otherwise you will miss the flowers of wisdom. And you can repress one desire from one side, but it will start arising from another side. You cannot deceive life....
YOU CAN SUPPRESS FROM ONE SIDE, IT BUBBLES UP FROM ANOTHER SIDE. Never suppress anything. If sex is there, allow it before it is too late. Allow it, move into it, accept it. It is a God-given thing. There must be a deep reason in it. There is. Never shirk any responsibility that God has given to you, otherwise you shirk from growth.
Gone are those foolish days when people were thinking in terms of condemnation, of anti-life philosophies. AFTER FREUD, MAN HAS COME TO ACCEPT SEX MORE NATURALLY. A great revolution has happened in the world.
NOW TO THINK IN CONDEMNATORY WAYS is simply not to be contemporary. Now, Krishna Priya's question was okay if she had asked it five hundred years before, but now? It is absurd. And in my ashram!
