At the time of writing, I have been offering once weekly online Satsangs for about two months. The format I use is ‘Questions and Answers’ followed by a Tantra Meditation or personal development technique, aligned with the subjects presented in the questions and answers.
I find it very intriguing that even during the Covid-19 Lockdown, the majority of questions people ask me have to do with sexuality, relationships and Tantra practices.
“Love should have a preface of beautiful music, of dancing together, of meditating together. And love should not be a mind thing – that you are continuously thinking of how to make love and then go to sleep. Love should be a deeper involvement of your whole being, and it should not be projected by the mind, but should come out spontaneously.
Question 1:
“I have been hard at work on actively forgiving my father and cleansing my interior.
With all the excitement coming up about the coronavirus and the isolation period resulting from this, my contact with family has increased. However, the signals I get from my father are ones that wish me harm and misfortune. Even his verbal advice seems to come from a place where I feel I am perceived as valueless and a nuisance.
Love is omnipresent in the universe. Our essential nature is love. And yet, we forget, we feel lack, we search for it and we mourn when our world appears to embrace hatred, fear and suffering. Kabir, the great mystic poet is reported to have said; “Asking where is love is like the fish in the sea asking ‘Where is the water?’ ”
“The real thing is not a relationship but a state; one is not in love but one is love. Whenever I talk about love remember this: I am talking about the state of love. Yes, relationship is perfectly good, but the relationship is going to be false if you have not attained to the state of love.
This Partner Meditation was created by Dhyan Maneesh, a French Devotee of Osho, who is a clairvoyant healer.
He explains:“A fountain needs to be filled with water before it overflows. And, so it is, with love. If we have never experienced being filled by love, how can we overflow? Love is omnipresent in the universe, always showering. All we need to do is open ourselves to receive it. Once we are full of love then it will overflow without any effort.”
Question: “I am a 35-year old woman. For as long as I can remember, I have been dreaming of finding my soul mate. However, my search has proved so far to be futile. There is always something that goes wrong. Either the men I meet are into polyamory or are hooked on some substance, or even worse, are into porn.
There is a saying from the Greek Mystic Heraclitus, “You can’t step in the same river twice.” This is truly amazing wisdom, which encapsulates the whole life experience in a single phrase.
Life is a series of changes, of death and renewal, of the phoenix rising from the ashes. When we understand this, we do not cling to the past, but rather dive into each moment with full enthusiasm. And when chaos comes, we embrace it and ask, “What can I learn from you?” By embracing times of change and chaos in our lives and learning the lesson contained in this chaos, we naturally find ourselves ascending into a higher level of order.
“The couple (yamala) is consciousness itself, the unifying emission and the stable abode. It is the absolute, the noble cosmic bliss consisting of both Shiva and Shakti. It is the supreme secret of Kula; neither quiescent nor emergent, it is the flowing font of both quiescence and emergence.” Abhinavagupta ( Tantraloka)
Question 1: “I am considering having a vasectomy. I am 46 years old and – although it looks young for such an important operation – I have the firm conviction that having children is not for me. I really do not wish it in my life. I cherish freedom to the max. And I am very happy with all the lovely moments with my nieces and the children in my family and of my friends.
A sannyasin asks Osho about her relationship and being attracted to other men.
Osho responds: “The problem is natural and everybody has to face it.
If you want relationship… and to want relationship means security, safety, intimacy, love. And only in a very, very intimate relationship can love grow – love needs time, patience. If you want all these things then you have to sacrifice your momentary desires – that somebody looks attractive and you are sexually attracted.
“Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself.
They are two aspects of the same coin. A person who does not know how to be with himself cannot truly relate with others.
Does Tantra Massage Include a Happy Ending?
In the world at large there is a tremendous buzz about Tantra Massage. Most people tend to assume it is a normal massage with a ‘happy ending.’
“Massage is something that you can start learning but you never finish. It goes on and on; and the experience becomes continuously deeper and deeper, and higher and higher. Massage is one of the subtlest arts. And it is not only a question of expertise, it is more a question of love.
Question: “How can I find a man who is really ready to go deeper into Tantra with me? All I find out there are men who are into polyamory or one-night stands. It is really frustrating as I believe in true love. Am I under some kind of illusion? Does true love exist or is it just a fairy-tale?”
