VBT – Meditation 50.2
Try To Melt
All the religions are against sex, afraid of it, because it is such a great energy. Once you are in it you are no more, and then the current will take you anywhere. That is why the fear. So create a barrier in which you and the current become two, and do not allow this vital energy to have any possession over you: be the master of it.
Only tantra says that this mastery is going to be false, diseased, pathological, because you cannot really be divided with this current. You are it! So all divisions will be false, arbitrary, and basically, no division is possible because you are the current – a part and parcel of it, just a wave in it. You can become frozen and you can separate yourself from the current, but that frozenness will be deadness.
And humanity has become dead. No one is really alive; you are just dead weights floating in the stream. Melt!
Tantra says try to melt. Do not become like icebergs: melt and become one with the river.
Becoming one with the river, feeling one with the river, merging in the river, be aware and there will be transformation. There IS transformation. Transformation is not through conflict; it is through awareness. These three techniques are very, very scientific, but then sex becomes something other than what you know. Then it is not a temporary relief; then it is not throwing energy out. Then there is no end to it. It becomes a meditative circle.
When you are in love, you melt. Love is melting. And if you cannot melt in love, then it is going to be simply sex; it cannot become love. When you love someone, you melt. When you don’t love, you become cold, you freeze. When you love, you become warm and you melt.
Religion is a love affair. One needs a deep melting into existence. Science is a cold thing. Logic is absolutely cold, dead. Life is warm. So the capacity to melt yourself is known in religious terms as surrender, and the capacity to be frozen, cold, is known in religion as the ego. Ego makes you ice-cold, frozen. Then you are just a stone, dead.
We are afraid of losing ourselves, that’s why we are afraid of love. Everyone talks about love, everyone thinks about love, but no one loves, because love is dangerous. When you love someone, you are losing yourself. You will not be in control. You cannot direct things now, you cannot manipulate. You are melting, you are losing control.
That’s why, when someone loves someone, we say he has fallen in love. We use the word fallen, we say “falling in love.” It is falling, really, because it is melting. Then you cannot stand aloof, cold, in yourself. You have fallen.
Look at a person who lives through mind: you can never feel any warmth in him. If you touch his hand, you cannot feel him there. If you kiss him, you cannot feel him there. He is like a dead wall. No response comes out of him. A man who loves is in continuous response. Subtle responses are coming from him. If you touch his hand you have touched his soul. It is not only his hand – he has come to meet you there, totally. He has moved. His soul has come to his hand. Then there is warmth. And if your soul can also come to the hand to meet him, then there is a meeting, a communion.
This can happen with a tree. And if it happens at all with anyone, then it can happen with anything else, anything It can happen with a stone, it can happen with the sand on the beach. It can happen with anything, if at all it can happen – if you know how to melt, if you know how to dissolve yourself, if you know how to move in response, not in words.
Words are not responses. You come and touch me and I say, “I love you,” and my lips remain dead and my hands remain dead. Even if I embrace you, that’s simply a dead gesture. I didn’t go there. I don’t flow in my body. I remain aloof. I say, “I love you”; these words can deceive me, they can deceive you, but they cannot deceive existence.
Religion is a love approach. It is a deep melting. And when you melt into existence, you become free.
