 🍁 Experience brings Liberation 🍁

Ramakrishna Paramhansa used to constantly warn his sannyasins to stay away from Kamini and Kanchan. You ask your sannyasins to experience the world deeply. What is the reason for this difference?

I also say what Ramakrishna says, "Beware of Kamini-Kanchan". But Ramakrishna speaks the language of Yoga; I speak the language of Tantra. I say, as Ramakrishna says, one has to go beyond; but not by cutting, but by living, by experience. You have to squeeze God out of life. God is hidden here. Just like gold is lying in the mine, mixed with the soil. The soil has to be removed and separated, gold has to be saved.

Life is born out of sex, you only see this. Only the bonds of the world are born out of sex, do you see that? Don't you see the other thing that you were born out of sex? All life is born out of sex. So two things are arising out of sex -- there are two aspects: on the one hand the world is being born and on the one hand life is emerging. These flowers are all in bloom. The humming of these birds is all about sex. This call is going on for love. It is searching for its beloved and lover. Do you think he who dances with peacock feathers is doing bhajan? Or the cuckoo who calls out for kuhu-kuhu, do you think she has gone mad? It's all a plea for love. They are forms of work. 

If you look carefully, you will see only Kama in the whole world. Scientists say that the smell emanating from flowers is also Kama. Through scent the flowers are sending their spermatozoa—to other flowers—where together new life will begin.

If you see the whole world, it is an extension of sex. Whatever is alive in it is Kama. Wherever there is a source of so much life, somewhere in that source God has to be found.

So I say to you: whatever life brings, do not panic, go consciously. Just take care that your senses remain and go. The senses must be maintained, so that you can see: what is it! Where is what! And squeeze the experience. The day you have all the experiences in your life, you will be beyond them too.

You have to be sure of the beyond – you have to go beyond Kamini and Kanchan. But the way to cross passes through Kamini-Kanchan. There is no way to escape. If you want to be free from the market, then the way goes through the market itself. Don't try to run away from outside such a market, otherwise you will remain unexperienced. You will sit on the mountain, but the market will resonate within you. What you have not experienced, you will never get rid of it. Experience brings liberation.
