Welcome to the podcast, SOTOMAYOR of mystics and mistakes. Namaskaram Sad Guru, can one use sexuality as a means to reach one's ultimate nature?

Is sexual... nature. Is sexuality a root to the divine? If you want to look at it that way, everything can be a route to the divine. Everything in the existence, every atom in the existence can be a doorway to the divine.

If you all know how to open it, in that sense, yes sexuality also is a door

to the divine. The reason why somebody might have talked about it is because in many ways it is a certain amount of your life energy is dedicated to your sexuality unless you transform it.

Naturally, to ensure that the reproductive activity happens and the race is preserved,

the human race is preserved, a certain amount of energy is naturally dedicated to the sexual process. In terms of survival, procreation

is an important part of survival because survival is not just about your body

survival is about survival of the species.

So when the survival instinct is about the species, naturally sexuality has a certain

dedicated energy towards it. Unless you consciously transform it, it is on in the system. You cannot

deny it. Maybe it is on to different extent in different people, maybe not to the same extent.

In some people it may be very strong, in some people it may be just a passing face. So can we use sexuality as a way to the divine?

I would advise that you handle sexuality as sexuality rather than trying to make it into

a spiritual process because that involves extreme, which you are not capable of.

I would say most of you,

almost all of you, are incapable of that kind of discipline which is needed where a natural

survival instinct is involved to bring the necessary awareness to that and take that natural instinct which is trying to fulfill one kind of purpose and to make it

into an ultimate possibility, it takes much more than you think. Now if you have no guilt problems about the basic biology of your body,

you conduct it to the extent it is necessary for you as a person.

You don't have to meet the social standards.

Nor do you have to compete with the Stutt-France around you?

Yes?
