Osho The Tantra Vision, Vol. 1 Chapter 2

This whole society is sex-obsessed. If sex-obsession disappears from the world, people will not be money-mad. Who will bother about money? And people will not be bothered by power. Nobody will like to become a president or a prime minister – for what?! Life is so tremendously beautiful in its ordinariness, it is so superb in its ordinariness, why should one want to become somebody? By being nobody it is so delicious – nothing is missing. But if you destroy people’s sexuality and make them repressed, so much is missing that they are always hankering: somewhere there must be joy– here it is missing.

Sex is one of the activities given by nature and God in which you are thrown again and again to the present moment. Ordinarily you are never in the present – except when you are making love, and then too for a few seconds only.

Tantra says one has to understand sex, to decode sex. If sex is so vital that life comes out of it, then there must be something more to it. That something more is the key towards Divinity, towards God.

 “Happiness has to be deeper than what is experienced by human senses

There is something completely fulfilling that does not depend on anything in order to be experienced. Knowledge of the truth of your own existence is completely fulfilling. We call it Existence/Consciousness/Bliss. It is never at any time dependent on an outside factor to be experienced.”

 .Become drinkers of nectar - all of you - drinkers of the wine of immortality. Tread the path of immortality, where no death exists and no disease. When you feel power within yourself, when new light dawns on you from within, the more you can keep it concealed in utter calm and stillness, the more it will grow in intensity. If the slightest opening appears, there is always the fear it will escape. Sustained effort ends in effortless being - in other words, what has been attained by constant practice is finally transcended, and then spontaneity comes.

(Katha Upanishad)

There are two selves, the separate ego

And the indivisible Atman. When

One rises above I and me and mine,

The Atman is revealed as one's real Self.

When all desires that surge in the heart

Are renounced, the mortal becomes immortal.

When all the knots that strangle the heart

Are loosened, the mortal becomes immortal.

This sums up the teaching of the scriptures.

Hafez

"I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul.

Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.
