SEX HAS FOUR STAGES/ THE FOURTH is brahmacharya

[Guest guest]

THEN THE FOURTH phase, the ultimate phase comes, which is brahmacharya, which is

real celibacy; not the celibacy of the monks -- that is not celibacy at all --

but the celibacy of the Buddhas. It is brahmacharya. Sex has disappeared; you

don't need the outer woman, you don't need the outer man. Now your inner man and

woman have fallen in a togetherness, and this togetherness is not momentary.

This is real marriage; you are welded together. Now to be orgasmic is your

natural state. A Buddha lives in orgasm continuously; he breathes in and out in

orgasm.

 

These are the four stages of sex.

 

My effort here is to take you to the fourth, but people who come to me come to

me corrupted, crippled by the society, poisoned by the society. I have to take

much poison out of them. I have to take much pus out of their beings. And only

if they are courageous enough to be with me long enough, ready to risk, does

this transformation become possible.

 

And the people who live on the outside and just hear rumors about what is

happening here are bound to have stupid notions -- that indulgence is happening,

that orgies are happening, that violence is happening. It is as if in a surgery

you come to know that that surgeon is very dangerous because he cuts people's

parts, he opens their stomachs, much blood comes out -- "That doctor is very

dangerous; never go to him!"

 

I am a physician; or better, I am a surgeon. And this place is a place for

spiritual surgery. It is an alchemical experiment in transforming your energies.

 

The ordinary masses cannot understand it, hence so much misunderstanding is

bound to remain about me. It will go slowly, slowly; it may take centuries.

 

And the people who have so much repressed sexuality in their beings can't have

understanding of what is happening here. Their repression makes their eyes

blind; they start projecting their ideas.

 

For example, a man who has repressed all his sexuality for his whole life will

go mad seeing a naked woman, because it will be like an explosion in his being.

But a man who has not repressed any sexuality will not even take any note of

seeing a naked woman; or he may simply think, "What a beautiful body!" -- and

that is that. He does not want to grab it, he does not want to possess it. Just

as you look at a roseflower: the rose flower is naked, you don't put clothes on

the rose flower. You don't put clothes on the animals.

 

There are a few ladies in England who try to put clothes on their dogs, because

of "naked" dogs. Now these old ladies must be dirty! What kind of mind is this?

 

So if in some of my groups nudity happens -- which is a natural part of the

group process -- and some people, sly people, can sometimes take photographs

with small, automatic cameras, and then those pictures are published all over

the world and it is thought that orgies are happening here... Something totally

different is happening here.

 

Twenty nuns were on a pilgrimage to Lourdes when their plane crashed. They all,

of course, went to heaven where they were met by Saint Peter and the recording

angel.

"Welcome ladies," he said. "Just a pure formality: will all those who are

virgins take one step forward." There was an embarrassed silence as only

nineteen stepped forward.

The recording angel put down his pen, turned to Peter and said, "Excuse me, but

what shall we do with the deaf one?"

 

Whom do you think you are deceiving with your repressions? Your repressions are

bound to take revenge on you from the back door.

 

The whole hypocrisy can disappear from the world if sex is accepted naturally.

Ninety-nine percent of hypocrisy is dependent on sex-repression.

 

Now, religions go on giving you double-binds. They first say, "Be authentic, be

true," and all that they teach makes you inauthentic, untrue, hypocrites. This

is a double-bind. They say, "Believe in truth, believe in God"; now this is a

double-bind. Belief simply means you don't know and still you are believing; it

is untrue. If one has to be true, one has to seek and search and only then

believe. But they say, "First believe in God, and then you will be able to find

Him." To begin with belief is to begin with a lie.

 

And God is truth, and you begin in lies. Life is truth, and you begin in

hypocrisy. If you go on missing, it is no wonder. You are bound to miss all joy.
