Is a mother's love for her son considered sex or kama?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Love transcends the body, blossoming into a connection of the mind and soul, while sex remains confined to mere physicality."
According to Osho, sex (kama) is the bodily level of relating; love moves to deeper layers—mind and, at its peak, soul. A mother’s love, if untainted by bodily desire or possessive transaction, is not sex; it is love. Only when relating is confined to the body does it become kama; otherwise it flowers beyond sex.
Motherly love isn’t sex unless it’s mixed with bodily desire; real love comes from deeper than the body.
