What Lovemaking Teaches
December 30, 2008
We unify while making love and never consider the possibility of experiencing similar kinds of ecstasy in daily life. It takes a little practice, yet it is possible to unify with anything living. This is what is called meditation.
Union with life
While making love, think of prayer, meditation, godliness. While making love, care for a beautiful fragrance, chant, sing, dance. Your bedroom should be a temple, a sacred place. And lovemaking should not be a hurried thing. Go deeper into it; savor it as slowly and as gracefully as possible. You will be surprised. You have the key.
You have not been sent into the world without keys. But those keys have to be used, you have to put them into the lock and turn them.
The very way of life
Love is a phenomenon, one of the most potential, where the ego disappears and you are conscious, fully conscious, pulsating, vibrating. You are no more an individual, you are lost into the energy of the whole. Then, slowly slowly, let this become your very way of life. What happens at the peak of love has to become your discipline — not just an experience but a discipline. Then whatsoever you are doing and wherever you are walking… early in the morning with the sun rising, have the same feeling, the same merger with existence. Lying down on the ground, the sky full of stars, have the same merger again. Lying down on the earth, feel one with the earth.
Slowly slowly, lovemaking should give you the clue for how to be in love with existence itself. And then the ego is known as a fiction, is used as a fiction. And if you use it as a fiction, there is no danger.
