Osho's perspective on Sexual Energy
When Osho Spoke About Sexual Energy
Passages from the discourses where this theme comes alive.
Beloved Osho, what is the difference between the emptiness of the child before the formation of the ego and the awakened childlikeness of a buddha?
Whether you are for it or against it doesn't matter -- your concern shows where your ego is hanging. And I will include the capitalist in it also: his whole concern is how to gather money, hoard money -- because money has power over matter. You can purchase any material thing through money. You cannot purchase anything spiritual, you cannot purchase anything that has any intrinsic value; you can purchase only things. If you want to purchase love, you cannot purchase; but you can purchase sex. Sex is the material part of love. Through money, matter can be purchased, possessed. Now you will be surprised: I include the communist and the capitalist both in the same category, and they are enemies, just as I include Charvaka and Mahatma Gandhi in the same category, and they are enemies. They are enemies, but their concern is the same. The capitalist is trying…
Osho, you have said that when the seeker reaches the fifth body, the distinction between woman and man disappears. Through what adjustment of the positive and negative electrical polarities in the first four bodies does this happen?
Whenever an incomplete woman and an incomplete man meet, both are weakened; afterward, both have less energy than before they met. In the meeting of a complete man and a complete woman the reverse happens: after they meet, both have more energy than before. Their own powers, dormant within, are awakened and activated by the nearness of the other. Previously too it was their own energy that spilled in the other’s presence; now it is their own energy that is stirred and revealed in the other’s presence. From this, a hint is received: can there be, within, a meeting of the complete man and the complete woman? For the first inner meeting was between an incomplete man and an incomplete woman. Inner maithuna of the third and fourth bodies brings freedom from duality Work begins on the second unit—the third and fourth bodies. When the third and fourth meet: in…
प्रश्न: ओशो, आपने कहा है कि पांचवें शरीर में पहुंचने पर साधक के लिए स्त्री और पुरुष का भेद समाप्त हो जाता है। यह उसके प्रथम चार शरीरों के पाजिटिव और निगेटिव विद्युत के किस समायोजन से घटित होता है?
अधूरी स्त्री और अधूरे पुरुष का जब भी मिलन होगा, तो दोनों की शक्ति क्षीण होगी; मिलने के पहले उनकी जितनी शक्ति थी, मिलने के बाद उन दोनों की शक्ति कम होगी। और पूरे पुरुष और पूरी स्त्री के मिलन में इससे उलटी घटना घटेगी: मिलने के पहले जितनी उनकी शक्ति थी, मिलने के बाद दोनों की ज्यादा होगी। ठीक इससे उलटी घटना घटेगी: दोनों के पास ज्यादा शक्ति होगी। यह शक्ति उन्हीं के भीतर पड़ी है जो कि दूसरे के निकट आने से सजग और जागरूक और सक्रिय हो जाएगी। उनकी ही शक्ति है। पहले में भी उनकी ही शक्ति दूसरे के निकट आने से स्खलित होती थी; दूसरी घटना में उनकी ही शक्ति दूसरे के निकट आने से सक्रिय और सजग हो जाएगी, और जो उनके भीतर छिपा है वह पूरा का पूरा उनको प्रकट होगा। इस घटना से इंगित मिलेगा कि भीतर भी क्या पूर्ण पुरुष और पूर्ण स्त्री का मिलन हो सकता है? क्योंकि पहला मिलन भीतर भी अधूरे पुरुष और अधूरी स्त्री का मिलन है।
Beloved master, when do I know if my sexual energy is transformed or just repressed?
It will not be difficult. It will be the simplest thing to know. When sexual energy is repressed you will have sexual dreams, you will have sexual fantasies -- you cannot avoid them. When sex energy is transformed, you will not have any sexual dreams, you will not have any sexual fantasies. This is the simple criterion. I will end with a small story.... In Gautam Buddha's time there was one beautiful woman -- she was a prostitute, Amrapali. One Buddhist monk was just going to beg when Amrapali saw him. She was simply amazed because kings have been at her door, princes, rich people, famous people from all walks of life. But she had never seen such a beautiful person -- and he was a monk, a beggar with a begging bowl. She was going on her golden chariot to her garden. She told the bhikkhu, "If you don't…
What is it to be master of one's sexual energy?
VEERESHWAR, TO THINK IN TERMS OF DUALITY IS ALWAYS DANGEROUS. To divide yourself in two is to move towards a split. You are one! How can there be a master and a slave? The very idea is poison. And it has poisoned humanity down the ages. Never divide yourself, otherwise you will be in a conflict, a civil war -- fighting with yourself. And that is utter stupidity. To fight with oneself is to dissipate energy unnecessarily. It IS a wastage. The same energy can become a jubilation. I don't teach you how to become master of your sexual energy. What I teach you is: how to remain one, how not to divide yourself. Never divide yourself into the body, the mind, the soul the matter, the lower, the higher, the sacred, the profane, this worldly, other-worldly. Never divide! These are just different names... the disease is the same. Division…
