On Sex


Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4, Verse 24) says, “For those who are completely absorbed in God-consciousness, the oblation is Brahman, the ladle with which it is offered is Brahman, the act of offering is Brahman, and the sacrificial fire is also Brahman. Such persons, who view everything as God, easily attain Him.”

So, folks, learn to view sex and the sexual act also this way: “For those who are completely absorbed in God-consciousness, sex is Brahman, the sex organs with which it is done are Brahman, the sexual act is Brahman, and the sexual desire is Brahman. Such persons, who view everything as God, easily attain Him.”

That is why, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa said, “These are very profound words. I feel as if someone were pressing my mouth. . . . I have seen with my own eyes that God dwells even in the sexual organ. I saw Him once in the sexual intercourse of a dog and a bitch.”

So, folks, have a healthy and uncomplicated attitude towards sex. Do not be ashamed or shy about it.

The point of course is to transcend even the desire or need to have sex because such a desire and need is also a manifestation of a lack of full understanding of the Truth that our very nature is happiness, and happiness is not something got from the outside through persons, objects, possessions or any actions.
