[The visitor says: It's always been so very closed.

It has... it has been closed, not because it has to be closed. It has been closed because
the so-called public is almost mad -- it will kill you! For the first time it is possible
that by and by tantra may become public because the world is more free. In the past it
was a very very occult, esoteric, hidden thing.... Not because it has to be hidden --
there is no intrinsic necessity for it to be hidden -- but because of the foolish mass, the
stupid world, the mediocre society that would have killed it.... It has killed!
Down the centuries tantrikas have been killed by the society. One instance is very
historical. One king bhoja killed almost one hundred thousand tantrikas in india.
... Once it was such a great movement....

[The visitor, incredulous, asks: How can you kill a tantrika?]

Because they were public... they became public. They were very courageous people,
and they could be recognised easily -- their recognition was simple. The pair would
move together, naked, in one dress. That was really unisex. One gown, and the pair
inside. So you could find them anywhere! There was no need to.... And they had a
blue dress, mm? because in deep sex enjoyment, the aura becomes blue; you are
surrounded by a blue light.
When you really move into deep sexuality and it becomes meditative, your body
becomes luminous, and a blue aura surrounds you. Even photographs have been
taken, and they show a blue aura. So they started using a blue robe. The man and
woman together, in one robe, would walk around the town, move around the town.
This bhoja killed all the couples.
And this has been done many times. The society was never ready. The society has
been very stupid. The whole history is of stupidity.
Whatsoever you are reading in schools, in universities, is just absolutely absurd and
stupid -- but this is how things have been. So these things have to be kept hidden. But
in the future, I don't see.... A better world is coming -- and particularly in america, the
freedom is going to touch such peaks that tantra will become public -- it has to
become public. It is such a great blessing that everybody should be able to enjoy it
and know about it. It should become available. It is everybody's concern, because sex
is everybody's concern.
Everybody is born out of sex, the body is made of sex cells; the mind is an instrument
for your sex energy. In fact, if you ask the scientists they say that when you see a fruit
like guava -- or any fruit -- you think that the tree is creating the fruit for you. No! The
fruit is nothing but to protect the seed. The tree is not concerned with the fruit at all.
The tree is concerned with the seeds; those seeds are its sexuality.
To give them nourishment it creates the fruit. The seeds get nourishment and are
protected from the world so they can become ripe. When they have become ripe,
immediately the fruit falls down. Then it is no more needed. The seeds are ripe, ready
to go into the earth and create more trees.
Exactly the same is the case with your body: your whole body is nothing but a
nourishment for your sex seeds, for your semen. Food is needed -- your mind searches
for food; shelter is needed -- you find shelter... but basically deep-down your sexuality
is at the centre.

Chapter title: If you can accept your ignorance your life will have the quality of magic
4 December 1976

So we destroyed a great many monasteries, a great many scriptures in this country.

King Bhoja alone slaughtered one hundred thousand tantrikas. They were murdered
en masse throughout the country, wherever they were found. The reason was they
were carrying on certain experiments which would have brought an end to the entire
priesthood, to the so-called morality and the puritan mind of this country. If their
experiments were right, then all our morality is wrong.
It was the experience of tantrikas that if a man performs a particular kind of worship
before a naked woman with the feeling of reverence, he becomes free from women
forever. Similarly, if a woman performs particular kinds of worship before a naked
man, she becomes free from men forever.
The magnetic forces between man and woman are actually designed to unite them. So
it is not a small thing if a man becomes capable of looking at a naked woman before
him with a feeling of reverence. Although nature has equipped man to enjoy woman,
should a man become adept at looking at a woman with reverence his magnetic force
-- the energy which otherwise moved toward the outer woman -- begins to flow
toward the inner woman. That's the only way it can be, because his attraction for
woman disappears. Now she becomes a mother to him. Now he looks upon her as a
goddess. She becomes someone who is venerable.

Chapter title: Science of the Esoteric
4 August 1970 pm in Bomnay, India

hey were doing a great experiment, of melting and mixing the female and the male
bio-electricity. Because the very meeting of this bio-electricity can help you to go into
deep meditation without much effort in fighting with your thoughts. There were one
hundred thousand couples and Raja Bhoj, the king in those days, was so furious --
"This is destroying our whole morality, this is corrupting our children. Children will
see and they will ask, what kind of people are these? -- naked in one gown.... These
people will corrupt our whole religion and tradition."
Bhoj decided to kill all of them. One hundred thousand couples -- that means two
hundred thousand people -- were killed all over the country, burned alive. Not a single
couple was left alive; their literature was burned, their temples were burned. Never
before or after has any tradition been so brutally destroyed, so inhumanely destroyed.
But when you bring up the subject of sex, immediately you annoy all the people who
are in power because nobody who is in power wants people to live to their optimum
sexually. They want you to live your minimum sexually because at the minimum you
can be enslaved. At the maximum, you are so powerful, you are so intelligent -- you
are a rock and you cannot be destroyed. Whoever tries to destroy you will be
destroyed.
