MAN IS A SEXUAL...

  Nothing is wrong. MAN IS A SEXUAL ANIMAL. That's how we are. That's the way life means us to be. That's how we have found ourselves here.

    Go into it. Without going, you will never be able to transform it. I'm not speaking for mere indulgence. I'm saying MOVE INTO IT WITH DEEP MEDITATIVE ENERGY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS. It must be something tremendously valuable -- because you have come out of it, because the whole existence enjoys it, because the whole existence is SEXUAL.

    SEX IS THE WAY GOD HAS CHOSEN TO BE IN THE WORLD... notwithstanding what Christians go on saying -- that Jesus was born out of a virgin woman -- all foolishness, just to pretend that sex was not involved in Jesus' birth -- so afraid of sex that they create foolish stories like this, that Jesus is born out of Virgin Mary.

    Mary must have been very pure, that's true. She must have been spiritually virgin... that is true -- BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO ENTER INTO LIFE WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH THE ENERGY THAT SEX IS. The body knows no other law. And nature is all-inclusive: it believes in no exceptions, it allows no exceptions.

    YOU ARE BORN OUT OF SEX. You are full of sex energy. But this is not the end; this may be the beginning. Sex is the beginning... but not the end.

    There are three types of people. ONE WHO THINKS THAT SEX IS THE END ALSO. They are the people who live a life of indulgence. They miss, because sex is the beginning but not the end. THEN THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST INDULGENCE. They take the other, opposite extreme: they don't want sex even to be the beginning, so they start cutting it. Cutting it, they cut themselves. Destroying it, they destroy themselves; they wither away. Both are foolish attitudes.

    There is the third possibility: the possibility of THE WISE MAN who looks at life, has no theories to enforce on life, just tries to understand. He comes to see that SEX IS THE BEGINNING BUT NOT THE END. Sex is just an opportunity to grow beyond it -- but one has to pass through it.
