Seksas yra problema todėl, kad, regis, tame akte visiškai išnyksta „aš“. Tą akimirką esi laimingas, nes nebelieka savimonės, nebelieka „manęs“. Tu trokšti vis daugiau tokių akimirkų, vis daugiau to savęs išnykimo, kuriame yra visiška laimė – be praeities ir be ateities.
Tu sieki tos visiškos laimės per visišką susiliejimą ir vienovę, todėl natūralu, kad tai tampa nepaprastai svarbu.
Tai yra kažkas, kas suteikia man tyrą džiaugsmą, visišką savęs užmiršimą, ir aš noriu to vis daugiau.
Tačiau kodėl aš to noriu vis daugiau?
Todėl, kad visur kitur gyvenu konflikte.
Visur kitur – visuose egzistencijos lygmenyse – vyksta „aš“ stiprinimas. Ekonomiškai, socialiai, religiškai – visur nuolat stiprėja savimonė, o tai reiškia konfliktą.
Juk savimonė iškyla tik tada, kai yra konfliktas.
Pati savimonė savo prigimtimi yra konflikto rezultatas.
Todėl visur kitur mes gyvename konflikte.
Visuose mūsų santykiuose – su nuosavybe, su žmonėmis ir su idėjomis – yra konfliktas, skausmas, kova ir kančia.
Tačiau šiame viename veiksme visa tai trumpam visiškai išnyksta.
Natūralu, kad norisi to vis daugiau, nes tai suteikia laimę, o visa kita atneša kančią, sumaištį, konfliktą, painiavą, priešiškumą, karą ir griovimą.
Todėl seksualinis aktas tampa viską užgožiančiu ir svarbiausiu dalyku.
Taigi problema, žinoma, nėra seksas.
Problema yra tai, kaip išsilaisvinti iš „aš“.

Sex is a problem because it would seem that in that act, there is a complete absence of the self. In that moment, you are happy because there is the cessation of self-consciousness, of the ‘me’. You desire more of it, more of the abnegation of the self in which there is complete happiness, without the past or the future. You demand that complete happiness through full fusion and integration, so naturally it becomes all-important. It is something that gives me unadulterated joy, complete self-forgetfulness, and I want more and more of it. Now, why do I want more of it? Because everywhere else I am in conflict. Everywhere else – at all the different levels of existence, there is the strengthening of the self. Economically, socially, religiously, there is the constant thickening of self-consciousness, which is conflict. After all, you are self-conscious only when there is conflict. Self-consciousness is, in its very nature, the result of conflict, so everywhere else we are in conflict. In all our relationships with property, with people and with ideas, there is conflict, pain, struggle and misery, but in this one act, there is complete cessation of all that. Naturally, you want more of it because it gives you happiness, while all the rest leads you to misery, turmoil, conflict, confusion, antagonism, war and destruction. Therefore, the sexual act becomes all-significant, all-important. So, the problem is not sex, surely, but how to be free from the self.

#Day203 of #365HappyDays : an unexpected guest in work tonight. We think his name is Kenny. Sad reason for him making a guest appearance tonight, but he certainly made lots of people smile. We think he’s a Lab / Staffy cross. He’s definitely a Good Boy.
