Between twenty-one and twenty-eight, sex is very normal, very natural. And these are the years when you could have lived sex, and celibacy would have come by itself by the time you are forty-two. "But this society has lived with such repressive and unnatural, unscientific ideas that these are the years when you are told to be celibate. From fourteen to twenty-one your sexual energy is at its highest peak, exactly between fourteen and twenty-one: that means seventeen and a half is the climax of sexual energy." By the age of fourteen you are mature and you can reproduce children. Your second seven years are a preparation for sex slowly, slowly, the snake of sex starts uncoiling within you. The first seven years you are absolutely innocent - you are just as a saint should be. If you take as an average seventy years, it has ten cycles of seven years. just as at the age of fourteen you become interested in sex, if you live perfectly and totally and sincerely - religiously - your sexual life, by the age of forty-two you will be out of it."
My own understanding is that by the time. "Meditation is very simple if sex has been lived completely without any fear, any repression, any guilt.
And the more you become experienced, capable of understanding, it is absolutely easy to move your energy into the second stage of evolution: from sex to meditation." Nature is vast and tremendously strong, but you can get beyond it, and the way beyond is through it - not by fighting, but by understanding, experiencing. Nature has found a way to go on reproducing life in new forms sex is simply a methodology which nature has chosen. SEX IS NATURAL FORCE, YOU CANNOT FIGHT WITH NATURE, BUT YOU CAN GO BEYOND IT It is neither a sin nor a crime, it is an absolutely natural way of reproducing. Live it! - and don't live it with guilt, don't live it as if it is something wrong, it is a sin. "Not a single person has succeeded in transcending sex by fighting it, by repressing it.

You have to get free of it, and the way to get free of it is not to fight with it - that's what religious people have been doing for centuries. Please have one basic interest! And sex is absolutely first, because that is your biological bondage. "You are saying sex and meditation are your two basic interests.
Your so-called priests, monks, saints, cannot meditate." Sex, lived totally, will bring you to meditation and then meditation will be very easy, because there will be no biological pull against it. It is good to get rid of it by experiencing it with totality and intensity - don't think of meditation at all. It is one of the most torturous biological slaveries. And if it is there, meditation is impossible it won't let you be silent. If you have to make some effort to drop it, it will remain with you. "It is not that you have to make some effort. "Sex simply drops like dry leaves from the trees." Transcendence is experience, so much experience that you don't think anymore about attraction, infatuation." But transcendence should not be understood in the old ways as repression. "But one thing you have to understand: you cannot have meditation unless you have transcended sex. Either you have sex, or you have meditation." But you can't have both together - that will be like riding on two horses together. When you get tired of sex, fed up with it, then the same energy that was involved in sex can be used for meditation. If sex is your interest, forget all about meditation. "You say your interests are two: sex and meditation. IF SEX IS YOUR INTEREST, FORGET ALL ABOUT MEDITATION
