Fear — Love — Orgasm — Health


“Deep sexual orgasm gives body at-homeness. A very, very deep health happens in the body because the body feels whole.”

Fear is darkness. It is absence of love. You cannot do anything about it, and the more you do, the more you will become fearful because then the more you will find it impossible. The problem will become more and more complicated. If you fight with darkness you will be defeated. You can bring a sword and try to kill the darkness: you will only be exhausted. And, finally, the mind will think: Darkness is so powerful, that’s why I am defeated. 

This is where logic goes wrong. It is absolutely logical that if you have been struggling with darkness and you could not defeat it, could not destroy it; it is absolutely logical to come then to the conclusion that darkness is very, very powerful. I am impotent before it. But the reality is just the opposite. You are not impotent, darkness is impotent. 

In fact darkness is not there — that’s why you could not defeat it. How can you defeat something that is not? 

Don’t fight with the fear otherwise you will become more and more afraid: and a new fear will enter into your being, that is: fear of fear, which is very dangerous. In the first place fear is absence and in the second place, the fear of fear is the fear of the absence of absence. Then you go into madness. 

You have taken a wrong step. Fear is nothing but absence of love. Do something with love, forget about fear. If you love well, fear disappears. If you love deeply, fear is not found. 

Whenever you have been in love with someone, ever for a single moment, was there any fear? It has never been found in any relationship — if even for a single moment two persons are in deep love and a meeting happens, they are tuned to each other, in that moment fear has never been found. Just as if the light is on and darkness has not been found. There is the secret key: Love more. 

If you feel there is fear in your being — love more. 

Be courageous in love, take courage. Be adventurous in love, love more, and love unconditionally, because the more you love the less will be the fear. 

And when I say love I mean all the four layers of love: from sex to samadhi. Love deeply. If you love deeply in a sexual relationship much fear will disappear from the body. If your body trembles in fear, it is the fear of sex; you have not been in a deep sexual relationship. Your body trembles, your body is not at ease, at home. 

Love deeply — a sexual orgasm will dispel all fear out of the body. When I say it will dispel all fear I don’t mean that you will become brave because brave people are nothing but cowards upside down. When I say all fear will disappear I mean there will be no cowardice and no bravery. Those are two aspects of fear. 

Look at your brave people: you will find that deep inside they are afraid, they have created just an armor around them. Bravery is not fearlessness, it is fear well-protected, well-defended, armored. 

When fear disappears you become fearless. And a fearless person is one who never creates fear in anybody, and who never allows anybody to create fear in him. 

Deep sexual orgasm gives body at-homeness. 
A very, very deep health happens in the body because the body feels whole. 

Then the second step is love. Love people — unconditionally. If you have some conditions in the mind then you will never be able to love — those conditions will become barriers. Because love is beneficial to you why bother about conditions? It is so beneficial, it is such a deep well being that — love unconditionally; don’t ask anything in return. If you can come to understand that just by loving people you grow in fearlessness, you will love! For the sheer joy of it!
