Chapter SEVENTEEN at Los Angeles, California USA (Sex, Kundalini, Tantra Love, Truth, Manaham )

That evening, at an estate on the beach at Malibu, many hundreds of people gathered to be with Dadaji. The discussion went from sex, to love, to kundalini, to Truth, to Mahanam.

0ne movie producer said that for years the cinema was the false Guru of what love and sex were all about in California. He said that now, from India is coming a new form of sex called kundalini and tantra.

Dadaji responded, "Everything is sex. All creation at every level is sex. Sitting with each other, talking, touching, this is all sex of the senses.

The sexual impulse was created by God as the means to procreate humanity. This desire between people is a natural appetite which should not be unnaturally suppressed. Like all appetites, it should be dealt with in a discerning and discriminate manner. Otherwise it will

cause greater suffering than if you suppress it.

GOD CREATED OUR THIRST AND PASSION FOR LIFE.

The obvious purpose of sexual intercourse is to conceive children to propagate humanity. When this act is performed in devotion and with an awareness of Mahanam, it becomes the ideal. It is also clear that the sexual act is pleasurable, and is experienced so often for this pleasure of the communion of man, woman, and God. Shared for its pleasure even though conception does not happen or is not possible.

There is no right or wrong, good or bad about this use of what we call sexual energy. We did not create this function, and every person we honor for bringing the message of Truth came into the world after conception resulting from union of woman and man. In order to deify these messengers, build religions, and make them appear supernatural, stories of immaculate conception were devised. In fact all conception is immaculate.

If we give into this appetite or any other appetite, totally and indiscriminately, it will be very harmful, causing frustration and anxiety. Instant sex, and pornography today are examples of feeding this appetite at purely a physical level. It should not be as a rubbing together to relieve bodily itches. But a spirited in part physical, and in part spiritual communion of two as One.

HUMAN LOVE IS FICKLE AND FRAGILE,

WHEN IT IS RULED BY THE SENSES.

The sex act as shared by a man and woman in love with the Divine in each other can be an ideal way of showing human love. In fact, when the passion of God is unleashed, it comes out as a sharing of God's Love of God's Spirit of God's Truth.

In the moment of union there is no thought of technique, performance, or aphrodisiacs.

There is no limitation, no restriction, and no control. What is shared, is without inhibition, with no thought of sexual prowess or satisfaction.

TO REALIZE GOD IS THE ... ONLY LOVE.

The purity of the sex act automatically guarantees that this act of love in its purity and innocence, will be a complete and total communion.

This experience is also God, and as the body is the temple of the Divine, handled properly, guided from within, this physical sex will be a manifestation of what is in your heart and can be a part of the true joy of living. When you share your bodies with God in mind, with

communion of hearts there will always be a magic and intimacy, no matter how aged you

become or what condition your body is in.

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A LOVER OF THE ALMIGHTY.

Dadaji is telling you that sex does not only mean joining bodies, we have an intimacy with each others sight, sound, fragrance, and touch. This magic or bliss can be felt at anytime and anyplace, under any conditions that might exist at the time, as it exists with the Divine.

"The worldly definition, or the Gurus and Priests definition of sex or tantra is not right. They have missed the true meaning, distorted it and made it shameful and dirty, for their own purposes.

About kundalini and tantra, nobody knows. This is about inner sex. The body and being operates on energy. 0nly one kind of energy exists, and it is used in different ways. It is comparable to electricity. We do not have one kind for lights, another for fans, another kind for cooking. So, when some Guru tells you about sexual energy and heart energy, it

is false.

There are two very thin threads running up the back. The ida on the left,  and the pingali on the right, also a central passage called sushum rna. When you do not think of God, when you are not aware of M ahana m, this passage is blocked or clogged. Like a fuel line with dirt in it. All your answers come through this passage automatically. This is why, when you worship with mind, ignorantly with fear and idols, you are stifled at every turn.

By pranayama, breathing the life force itself, you automaticaly raise the kundalini. This is a physical practice and you must be very careful with these breathing exercises. They can lead to mental problems of the worst kind. And those who teach these techniques can only

be described as scoundrels. You cannot play with or abuse this life force of God,

and not suffer.

GOD DECIDES THE RIGHT TIME  FOR AN ELEVATION TO HIGHER STATES.

DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING, LET IT ALL HAPPEN NATURALLY.

There is a reserve of energy at the base of the spine. It is like a serpent or snake coiled up. As it is aroused, it uncoils and travels through the seven chakras or centers of consciousness. If it travels only with sensual thoughts it only experiences these. If it travels

with awareness of God, the unlimited power and proper use of the energy is made at all levels.

The lower centers are of reproduction and evacuation. Naturally if we think only of this, we direct the energy here mentally and get caught up in this area. Around the heart, we start to wonder a bout the music of existence itself. The fifth place is about the throat. We start speaking about God, and we enjoy only hearing a bout God. The sixth center is at the forehead. Then direct vision of God, seeing with a different eye is experienced. The seventh center is at the top of your head. This is called Sam ad hi when you are united, married, having constant sex with the Creator.

When the lower and upper centers, and all in between are joined in harmony, this is sex, or tantra. Then you are reunited with yourself and Divine orgasm occurs. "D adaji is saying this has nothing to do with ego of sitting, with your mind thinking of these centers of consciouness.

Mahanam, taking God's Name in the midst of doing your duty, in the midst of every experience, is automatic kundalini.

No function of the body is evil at any level. You cannot live without proper evacuation. Nor will there be any people or physical manifestation of Divine human love, without the use of your reproductive organs. Your body and senses are God given, to be cared for in love and used in moderation.

I am telling you again, all this has no connection with God. Only remember God, do your duty, enjoy your self, and try to love God. It is all One it is all God.

Vivekananda was staying at a M aharaji 's palace and during the evening program, a beautiful young lady was to dance in a costume that exposed some of her body. He refused to watch it, because of his vows, and waited outside. After the program, the dancer came to him and said, 'Swamiji, why do you judge me as doing something wrong or against God? I am not doing sin, but this is my God given talent, and each dance is offered to God in devotion.' Vivekananda at that moment, had a great revelation of Truth and realized, apologized, doing pranam, bowed before the dancer.

BETTER THAN PRAISING THE GOOD AND CONDEMNING THE WICKED,

IS TO SEEK GOD.

The Supreme God is never in bondage to desires, never seeks liberation. God is the original teacher, and the original teaching was the Word or Mahanam. 'In the beginning was the Creator, Brahmin, with whom was the Word, and tpe Word itself was truly the Supreme Brahmin.'

Offer everything, even what you call sex. The Gita says: Whatever your action, Food or worship, Whatever the gift, that you give to another, Whatever you vow to the work of the Spirit: Lay these also as offerings before me.

There is only one life force. It expresses itself in different ways at different levels. It may make you write a story, paint a picture, run a race, or have sexual intercourse. It also takes

you everywhere in your life.

The Bhagavad Gita also advises: Thinking about sense objects will make you dwell on sense objects; Dwell on these and you become addicted Thwart your addiction, it turns to anger; Be angry, and you confuse your mind; Confuse your mind, you forget the lesson of experience; Forget experience, lose discrimination; Lose discrimination, and you miss life's only purpose.

What is this world of mine? Can you say my tree, my air?, my sky, my ocean? Yet you say, 'my wife, my child, my husband, my house.' You have agreed that an object or person might be called 'yours.' And furthermore, you have agreed that the person who can say 'mine' to the largest number of desired objects and people is the most fortunate and

successful.

GOD DOES NOT FILL, BUT INSTEAD TAKES AWAY CRAVING FOR MATERIAL

AND SENSUAL NEEDS.

In Truth, every creature, every object, every being, belongs to God, and to God alone.

Do you want to know how far you are from God in your mind? For your mind is how close you are, and how far away you can ever get. Make a list, and everything that is yours, that you say "mine" to, is what is separating you from Truth.

RAISE GOD FROM YOUR HEART, AND MAKE YOUR MIND THE CONSCIOUS DWELLING PLACE OF GOD.

You fall in love, and out of love. God's Love is something else, only this can be counted on. When we can feel with each other, the love we feel for God, then no question arises, for the human love has taken on the quality of the Divine Love.

The ideal human relationship is also about commitment. You know God is committed to you, no matter what. When you have the awareness of Truth, you are com mit ted to God, no matter what. So it must be in your living the God life, no question of circumstances, you must have a commitment to one another. This is only possible when preconceived notions a bout arrangements that are convenient and comfortable are dissolved.

In India, a country of seven hundred million people, we have very little divorce. People do better with a disciplined way of life. Man and woman come together, accept it as destiny, and make a commitment. They accept their duty to family and responsibility. They learn

to love each other, and to respect each other as manifestation of God. Each knows and does their duty.

Many respected people, , who said they came in the Name of Truth, were in fact preaching social and political reform.

Vivekananda was going to liberate India with 'beef, brains, and brawn.' He told the Indian people to eat cows and to use their heads for something else other than carrying loads. He ended up in frustration, and died at a young age.

Today, and often in history, people have said, 'We need God, guts, and .guns to save the world.' This is all nonsensical mind function. Ghandhi said non-violence is the answer, and millions died in bloodshed.

Gandhi himself the destined victim of an assasin 's bullet.

"In fact the real messengers of Truth, came to tell you that to be born with human form in this mortal world has only one happy object. That is to relish the joy of God's Love. Within each of you is a music, a sound. It is Krishna playing the sweetest music on His Venna, His flute. This music can not only be heard, it can be seen and its fragrance experienced. There is only one Krishna, one God, playing the same tune within all.

If you can hear this melody and attune your life to it, you shall have a sweet symphony.

If your mind does not hear it, and plays so many other tunes along with it, how discordant the music of '"life will be, not only to yourself, but to all around you. Now imagine two people, the same Divine tune playing within each, yet a multitude of inharmonious melodies of their minds, which combine to drown out their Divine Song.

There is only one drummer, only one beat to life. This is the only Savior, or Messiah. This is tantra, or true sexual union with the Divine.

IN THE SCRIPTURES, WHEN IT IS WRITTEN, "I SHALL COME AGAIN, '
IT MEANS THE FRAGRANCE OF GOD REVEALS IN YOUR HEART AGAIN.

Once a traveler wanted to enter a gate to a certain walled city. A Sage sat before the gate. The person asked what kind of city this was. The Sage responded asking what kind of city the visitor had come from. The visitor said, 'It was a city of hate and greed.' The Sage said, 'So it is within this city.

A little later, another traveler approached the Sage with the same question. This visitor responded to the Sage that they had come from a city of love and peace. The Sage then said, 'So it is within this city.

Here is heaven, h e re is Hell, according to what you do. What you bring into any situation, is what you see and what you get.

Dadaji's Love is very sacred, secret and silent. Even the next person cannot know it, nor has anyone the right to know it. This is so deep and opposite to the worldly love, that it is out of sight and out of mind. This Love is perpetual. No barrier or distance can be a hindrance. His Love stretches, and it grows and grows for those who love Him. This Love, though apparently coming from one with a physical form or a holder of a body is not in fact from the body you see. It suffers no fickleness and is not temporary, unlike the character of human love. It is eternal, the entire creation is made of this Love. It is constant, continual, unchangeable, and without expectations. It is present as the eternal sound of Name that holds the body with its life force.

God exists for Love and in Love. God gives indications of Love and only patience is required to feel it. You will feel it in all your actions. God will guide you. God is your nearest and dearest. Within you is that Mahanam, hear it beating as your heartbeat, saying:
