Yoga is Mathematics.

2008-02-23T23:23:00.002+05:30

Yoga is not a religion — remember that. Yoga is not Hindu, it is not Mohammedan. Yoga is a pure science just like mathematics, physics or chemistry. Physics is not Christian physics is not Buddhist. If Christians have discovered the laws of physics, then too physics is not Christian. It is just accidental that Christians have come to discover the laws of physics. But physics remains just a science.
Yoga is a science. It is just an accident that Hindus discovered it. It is not Hindu. It is a pure mathematics of the inner being. So a Mohammedan can be a yogi, a Christian can be a yogi, a Jain, a Buddhhist can be a yogi. Yoga is pure science, and Patanjali is the greatest name as far as the world of Yoga is concerned. This man is rare. There is no name comparable to Patanjali. For the first time in the history of humanity, this man brought religion to the state of a science: he made religion a science, bare laws; no belief is needed.
So-called religions need beliefs. There is no other difference between one religion and another; the difference is only of beliefs. A Mohammedan has certain beliefs, a Hindu certain others, a Christian certain others. The difference is of beliefs. Yoga has nothing as far as belief is concerned. Yoga doesn’t say to believe in anything; Yoga says experience. Just as science says experiment, Yoga says experience. Experiment and experience are both the same; their directions are different. Experiment means something you can do outside; experience means something you can do inside. Experience is an inside experiment.
Science says: Don’t believe, doubt as much as you can. But also, don’t disbelieve because disbelief is again a sort of belief. You can believe in God, you can believe in the concept of no-God. You can say God is, with a fanatic attitude; you can say the quite reverse, that God is not, with the same fanaticism. Atheists, theists, are both believers, and belief is not the realm for science. Science means experience something, that which is; no belief is needed.
So the second thing to remember: Yoga is existential, experiential, experimental. No belief is required, no faith is needed...only the courage to experience. And that’s what’s lacking. You can believe easily because in belief you are not going to be transformed. Belief is something added to you, something superficial. Your being is not changed; you are not passing through some mutation. You may be a Hindu, you can become Christian the next day. Simply, you change: you change the Gita for a Bible. You can change it for a Koran, but the man who was holding the Gita and is now holding the Bible remains the same. He has changed his beliefs.
Beliefs are like clothes. Nothing substantial is transformed; you remain the same. Dissect a Hindu, dissect a Mohammedan, inside they are the same. He goes to a temple; the Mohammedan hates the temple. The Mohammedan goes to the mosque and the Hindu hates the mosque, but inside they are the same human beings.Belief is easy because you are not required really to do anything — just a superficial dressing, a decoration, something which you can put aside any moment you like.
Yoga is not belief. That’s why it is difficult, arduous, and sometimes it seems impossible. It is an existential approach. You will come to the truth, not through belief but through your own experience, through your own realization. That means you will have to be totally changed. Your viewpoints, your way of life, your mind, your psyche has to be shattered completely as it is. Something new has to be created. Only with that new will you come in contact with reality.
So Yoga is both a death and a new life.
As you are you will have to die, and unless you die the new cannot be born. The new is hidden in you. You are just a seed for it, and the seed must fall down and be absorbed by the earth. The seed must die; only then will the new arise out of you. Your death will become your new life. Yoga is both a death and a new birth. Unless you are ready to die, you cannot be reborn. So it is not a question of changing beliefs.

Yoga is not a philosophy. I say it is not a religion, I say it is not a philosophy. It is not something you can think about. It is something you will have to be; thinking won’t do.
Thinking goes on in your head. It is not really deep into the roots of your being; it is not your totality. It is just a part, a functional part; it can be trained. And you can argue logically, you can think rationally, but your heart will remain the same. Your heart is your deepest center, your head is just a branch. You can be without the head, but you cannot be without the heart. Your head is not basic.
Yoga is concerned with your total being, with your roots. It is not philosophical. So with Patanjali we will not be thinking, speculating. With Patanjali we will be trying to know the ultimate laws of being: the laws of its transformation, the laws of how to die and how to be reborn again, the laws of a new order of being. That is why I call it a science.
Patanjali is rare. He is an enlightened person like Buddha, like Krishna, like Christ, like Mahavira, Mohammed, Zarathustra, but he is different in one way. Buddha, Krishna, Mahavira, Zarathustra, Mohammed — no one has a scientific attitude. They are great founders of religions. They have changed the whole pattern of human mind and its structure, but their approach is not scientific.
Patanjali is like an Einstein in the world of buddhas. He is a phenomenon. He could have easily been a Nobel-Prize winner like an Einstein or Bohr or Max Planck, Heisenberg. He has the same attitude, the same approach of a rigorous scientific mind. He is not a poet; Krishna is a poet. He is not a moralist; Mahavira is a moralist. He is basically a scientist, thinking in terms of laws. And he has come to deduce absolute laws about the human being, the ultimate working structure of the human mind and reality.
If you follow Patanjali you will come to know that he is as exact as any mathematical formula. Simply do what he says and the result will happen. The result is bound to happen. It is just as two plus two become four. It is just as you heat water up to one hundred degrees and it evaporates. No belief is needed: you simply do it and know. It is something to be done and known. That’s why I say there is no comparison. On this earth, never a man has existed like Patanjali.
You can find in Buddha’s utterances, poetry...bound to be there. Many times while Buddha is expressing himself he becomes poetic. The realm of ecstasy, the realm of ultimate knowing is so beautiful, the temptation is so much to become poetic. The beauty is such, the benediction is such, the bliss is such that one starts talking in poetic language.
But Patanjali resists that. It is very difficult. No one has been able to resist. Jesus, Krishna, Buddha — they all become poetic. The splendor, the beauty, when it explodes within you...you will start dancing, you will start singing. In that state you are just like a lover who has fallen in love with the whole universe.
Patanjali resists that. He will not use poetry; he will not use a single poetic symbol even. He will not do anything with poetry; he will not talk in terms of beauty. He will talk in terms of mathematics. He will be exact, and he will give you maxims. Those maxims are just indications what is to be done. He will not explode into ecstasy; he will not say things that cannot be said; he will not try the impossible.
He will just put down the foundation, and if you follow the foundation you will reach the peak which is beyond. He is a rigorous mathematician — remember this.

ALL LIFE EXISTS THROUGH SEX, ALL LIFE GROWS OUT OF IT.

2005-10-24T22:51:00.000+05:30

Nothing is wrong in pure simple sex.

It is natural.

There is no need to hide it behind the beautiful word love. There is no need to create a cloud of romance around it.

Ninety-nine percent know sex only as a relief; they don't know its orgasmic quality.

Even if they think they are having an orgasm, it is not orgasm - it is just genital relief.

Orgasm has nothing to do with genitals as such. Genitals are involved in it, but orgasm is total - from the head to the toes, it is all over you.

What is orgasm?

Orgasm is a state where your body is no longer felt as matter; it vibrates like energy, electricity
completely forget that it is a material thing. It becomes an electric phenomenon.

Now physicists say that there is no matter, that all matter is only appearance; deep down, that which exists is electricity, not matter.

In orgasm, you come to this deepest layer of your body where matter no longer exists, just energy waves; you become a dancing energy, vibrating. There are no longer any boundaries to you - pulsating, but no longer substantial. And your beloved also pulsates.

Now, sexual orgasm needs time - the longer, the better; because then it will go deeper into your being, into your mind, into your soul.

Then it will spread from the toe to the head . . . every fiber of your being will be throbbing with it. Your whole body will become an orchestra and it will come to a crescendo.

But if you are in a hurry the orgasm becomes just an ejaculation, it is no more an orgasm. It is local and very tiny, almost meaningless. In fact you will feel tired, frustrated, depressed after it, because the energy is lost and it has not given you a bath, so it was just meaningless.

You remain the old - a little more tired, of course, with less energy of course, but you remain the same. It has not been a cleansing process, it has not thrilled you from corner to corner, from end to end.

Man always likes to enter the woman immediately.

He is not interested in foreplay because his positive pole is always ready. And women are always reluctant to enter into the sex act immediately, without any foreplay, because their negative pole is not ready. . . .

And man thinks the sex act is simple. Why waste time? Enter the woman immediately - and he is finished within minutes. But the woman was not a part, she was not aroused. . . .

When the woman remains cold, the man's orgasmic experience remains local, genital.

It does not reach to his soul, it does not reach to his whole body. All his cells are not thrilled, are not in a dance. It is poor, very poor.

It is a release, a relief, but not an orgasmic experience.

Make love only when there is tremendous desire and passion, otherwise simply say, "Excuse me, it is not there, so what is the point?"

Pretending is not good.

And if you stop pretending, you will find that your depth of love-making has increased very much.

Premature ejaculation is really not a sexual problem at all; it is more a psychological problem.

Physiologically there is nothing wrong but psychologically you are in a hurry, that very hurry creates premature ejaculation.

Why has man so many ways in relating - heterosexual, bisexual, one-to-one or in a group?

Man has freedom to choose.

And this choice can make you pathological or this choice can make you a Buddha.

Now it depends on you, how you use your freedom.

Sex has been called the original sin - it is neither original nor sin.

Up to now societies have been so much against sex - religions and churches against it - that they have created a very very unconscious hatred.

You may not be aware of it consciously, you may not see it anywhere in your mind so that you can detect it.

It has gone to the very roots of the body, to the gut level, because it has been centuries that people have been taught to be against sex.

That hatred has to be dropped, that hate and condemnation has to be dropped, and that can only be dropped if you start learning a reverence for sex.

We suppress movements. Particularly, all over the world, we suppress all movements, all shaking for women.

They remain just like dead bodies.

You are doing something to them; they are not doing anything to you. They are just passive partners.

Why is this happening? Why all over the world do men suppress women in such a way?

There is fear - because once a woman's body becomes possessed, it is very difficult for a man to satisfy her; because a woman can have chain orgasms; a man cannot have.

Any woman can have at least three orgasms in a chain, but man can have only one. And with a man's orgasm the woman is aroused and is ready for further orgasms.

Then it is difficult. Then how to manage it!

She needs another man immediately, and group sex is a taboo.

All over the world we have created monogamous societies. We seem to feel that it is better to suppress the woman.

So, really, 80% to 90% of women never know what orgasm is.

They can give birth to children; that is another thing. They can satisfy the man; that is also another thing. But they themselves are never satisfied.

So if you see such bitterness in women all over the world - sadness, bitterness, frustration - it is natural.

Their basic need is not fulfilled.

Because of three basic elements in sex, you come to a blissful moment.

Those three are, firstly, timelessness: you transcend time completely.
There is no time. You forget time completely; time ceases for you. Not that time ceases: it ceases for you; you are not in it.

Secondly, in sex, for the first time you lose your ego; you become egoless. You are not, nor is there the other. You and your beloved are both lost into something else.

And thirdly, in sex you are natural for the first time. You are a part of nature - a part of trees, a part of the animals, a part of the stars - a part! You are immersed into something - the Cosmos, the Tao.

You cannot even swim in it; you are not. You are just floating - being taken by the current.

These three things give you ecstasy.

The future will have a totally different vision of sex.

It will be more fun, more joy; more friendship, more a play than a serious affair as it has
