Tantra says ONE HAS TO UNDERSTAND SEX, to decode sex. If sex is so vital that life comes out of it, then there must be something more to it. That something more is the key towards Divinity, towards God.

The Tantra Vision

Vol 1, Ch #2: The goose is out!

If you remain aware, you will come to know that SEX IS NOT JUST SEX. Sex is the outermost layer, deep inside is the love, and even deeper is prayer, and deepest is God himself. Sex can become a cosmic experience. Then it is Tantra.

SEX IS A VERY PRIMITIVE THING, it is an animal heritage. Nothing is wrong in it, it is just very old. And as you grow more and more mature, you start searching for something new and greater, something better and higher, something superior. Sex seems to be something below you -- a little childish, a little immature.

It is good. THERE IS A TIME WHEN YOU CAN FOOL AROUND. And while you are meditating, your maturity comes sooner, your centering comes sooner, your awareness about things becomes clearer every day. 

And sex is going to be the first victim of your awareness -- then other things will follow -- because SEX IS THE VERY ROOT OF YOUR ANIMALITY.

ONE HAS TO UNDERSTAND SEX, to decode sex. If sex is so vital that life comes out of it, then there must be something more to it. The Tantra attitude about sex is that SEX IS NOT A NEED, IT IS A COSMIC EXPERIENCE, it is an experience of meditation. It is an instinctual return to our ultimate reality, one of the highest forms of meditation.
