Divinity of confession.. Sach Ka Samna

The confession had not fetched us money so far. Confession was never a game which could be played on screen. Confession has never been a publicity stunt as it has become now. This pious act ignited by realization of one's own mistakes and misdeeds has always been a very sacred and personal activity.. primarily to unburden ourselves. The confession in isolation is of no value unless it is associated with Forgiveness, Gratitude and attitude of self-correction.

In Bible Jesus is believed to say - "“I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven; what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you lose on earth will be losed in heaven.” (Matt. 16:19)"

It is my personal conviction that this pious statement of an enlightened person was later cunningly twisted to give authority to church priests to accept confession.

There are only two choices in making confession.. the first one is to confess in front of the person whom you think have hurt, cheated, betrayed, humiliated etc.. and second place is in front of an enlightened Guru. Although Christianity may have taken this idea of confession to asssociate it with purification and freedom from your past Karmas but in Buddism there is no place for freedom from Karma even if you have confessed. Always keep in mind that repercussions of Karma (action) can never be undone by mere confession.

Why do we find two enlightened souls speaking different language? Superficially it looks so but in fact there is no difference in the statement. Their concern is your growth.. your freedom.. but they are speaking to different audiences. One is speaking to shepherds and uneducated and the other is talking to people of an educated and intellectually rich country of that time. (just to refresh your memory - India has oldest universities in the world, Taxila and Nalanda are example). Also their personalities are different. One is radiant intellectual and logical, the other is driven by heart and feelings.

It is definitely because of their own characteristic they are putting the same thing in different ways. They both are interested in you however they are least interested in your past. They know your journey can begin any moment and that moment is now. So whatever you are you will have to accept that or free yourself from that and move on. Jesus is trying to use confession in unburdening you out of his compassion and thus he is declaring you shall be free in heaven of what you free yourself from here. But Buddha is brutally hammering the intellectual people on the other side. He is reminding them of repurcussions of not being sane. He is saying so on account of Karma-Phala (Action-Result) principle. The gestalt has changed but the target remains exactly the same, your freedom.

I find these on-screen confessions are just a way of exploiting man's innate desire to peep into other person's life and find out how wrong he could be. And you wonder why would we want that to know? Because that gives a sense of 'Holier than thou' we start feeling we are not as bad as that man on the screen. He slept with a girl younger than his own daughter and fiddled with genitals of his cousin, that he slept with men too. Isn't it s breather for some of you? It is not at all important for us to know what is wrong in this world because that can never help us grow and become ideal for others. The greatest impediment in self-growth is to find fault in others.

Even god knew this when he designed the human body. All the holes which could smell bad or expell out smelly waste have been hidden by him in our body. He could have designed it otherwise but he did not and thus we have writers writing beatiful prose, singing about bodily beauty in their poetry..

There are definitely more better ways and more better things to confess than what is being professed by today's most popular Guru - The TV Guru!

Do I need say more.. I find it is getting shitty..

AD, what is your views on Kamasutra? - S.R.

Shekhar, Many people think so but Kamasutra is not a sex manual .

Remember three aims of ancient Hindu life – dharma, artha & kama –Vatsyayana's purpose is to set kama, or enjoyment of the senses in a hierarchy. Thus dharma or virtuous living is the highest aim, artha, amassing of wealth is next, and kama is the least of the three.

Do not wonder, I have deliberately left out  'Moksha - The complete liberation' because whatever I am going to talk, that should be "All about you".. related to you. The question is: Are you interested in Moksha, Nirvana? Don't lie to yourself...  I know the type of Nirvana you may be looking at is easily available at the local pubs and Discs in Ahmedabad. I wasn't surprised when someone told that even the name of one joint is "Nirvana"! So there you get your Nirvana with Mint flabvoured Hookkaa puffs.. Flavoured Nirvana.. (laughs)

I declare that Kamasutra is indispensible for today’s world.

Kamasutra has been whispered among people but NOW is the time to use its teachings. It’s time to learn how this knowhow can be applied to our day to day life in a way that helps us in enjoy pleasures of life while still being rooted in our true nature.

When people ask questions related to sex, its not intellectual answer they are looking at. You too are asking me this question to assess if my master approves of sexuality..  yes I do. I approve it with the final goal in mind.

Everyone desires of enriching sex life. It is in mind but only methods known to you people are use of alcohol, drugs, pills or at best change of partner. Especially the last option comes from the feeling of “I deserve more.” Some may spell it as “I need variety”. Don't you? But my ways are different. I would recommend more meditativeness. I would make you deeper in your feelings. I would invoke all the senses which are now in ths state of slumber and thus you are unable to appreciate and differentiate today from tomorrow. My Kamasutra as you would learn.. is based on invoking your heart and putting your sex center bit upward than your bell. It starts in meditation and culminates in orgasmic bliss. May be with this you would start understanding the statement "Samadhi is 10,000 times deeper, broader and richer experience than your sexual orgasm" and yes you have a choice of achieving it alone. Not that I dont recommend couple experiencing this together but before they do they must have their Auras cleansed, attuned and energized. And yes just wanted to tell Devpriya is exceptionally good at it. If you need help register yourself for "Aura correction Program" coming up next month. She will be here.

In my Kamasutra - which I call "The Gateway to divine Bliss", there are exercises to improve your sensitivity. There are therapies to prepare you to experience it compeletly, be in it totally for hours together.

The uniqueness of sexual experience is that it is always different every single time. But these subtle, sensuous differences can not be perceived in hectic or unconscious indulgence. Each individual experience has power to transform you, uplift you. 

Real Kamasutra is about opening your heart, your senses, letting go of mind. It is about understanding your body energy currents and recognizing your emotional state. Practicing Kamasutra transports you to a state of endless orgasmic pleasure-Bliss!

The poor state of affair is that no one is open to teachings on copulation. All think they are already having post doctoral experience in it. All they know is that different poses are means to sexual gratification but what they dont know and I teach is that these also help in releasing your stored emotions.  But that would require intensive preparation and meditativeness. Apart from recognizing your body type, understanding your energy currents. Thenthere are more than 100 poses to learn. For you too ladies!!

Kamasutra poses are Tantra’s methods of balancing your energies. Each pose has a purpose and helps in releasing particular stored negative emotions. The Frog pose is to be tried if you or your mate is feeling deprived of pampering. But who cares! I teach you to be aware and care..

When Sigmund Freud believed that sex is prime force the external development he wasn't completely wrong. During my previous talks on Yoga I told you about internal matrix development and that Kundalini power (energy near your sex center) can be translated in to higher form of energies to attain Moksha-The total liberation. Kamasutra is "The" way for most of the people who are yet to learn the relaxation techniques being taught in - Progressive Meditation sessions.

Do not forget that you are sexual by nature. Perversion wouldn’t help. Restrain must come naturally to you. Keep yourself ignited throughout the day and relax by night. No more talks – pure act! Because healthy Sex is better than sexuality in mind – hence I advocate Kamasutra today.
