From Sex to Superconsciousness

"The simple truth is that sex is the starting point of all
journeys to love. The birthplace of the journey to love, love’s
Gangotri - the source, the origin of the Ganges of love - is sex.
And everybody is inimical to it - all cultures, all religions,
all gurus, all holy men. So this is an attack at the Gangotri
itself, at the very source, and the river is stopped there:
"Sex is sin," "Sex is irreligious," "Sex is poison!" And we
never even give it a thought that it is sexual energy that
ultimately transforms and transmutes into love. The evolution
of love is nothing but transformed sex energy.

Looking at a piece of coal, it would never occur to you that
this very coal will transform into a diamond. There is no
essential difference between coal and a diamond. The elements
in a lump of coal are the same as those in a diamond. Passing
through a process taking thousands of years, coal becomes a
diamond.



But coal is not considered important. When coal is kept in a
house it is stored in a place where it cannot be seen by guests,
whereas diamonds are worn around the neck or on the breast so
that everybody can see them. Diamonds and coal are the same:
but there seems no visible relationship between the two, that
they are two points on a journey made by the same element. If
you are against coal - which is very likely, because at first
glance it has nothing more to offer than black soot - the
possibility of its transformation into a diamond ends right
there. It is the coal itself which could have been transformed
into a diamond.


It is sexual energy which transforms into love. But everyone is
against it, is inimical to it."
