Talks on the Royal Song of Saraha

"Tantra means expansion. This is the state when you have expanded to the uttermost. Your boundaries and the boundaries of existence are no longer separate, they are the same. Less than that will not satisfy. When you become all, when you become one with all, when you are as huge as this universe, when you contain all, when you have this cosmic expansion, then the work is finished. You have come home."

The Tantra Experience
An absorbing book about the relationship between Saraha, an affluent young Brahmin, and a lower-cast arrowsmith woman - he as disciple and she as his Tantric master. These revolutionary talks on The Royal Song of Saraha are "...not the composition of a poet, but the realization of a mystic." Through his characteristically penetrating insights into previously insolvable paradoxes of life, Osho reveals how the Tantra experience will help free us from the destructive Hebraic-Christian dualism that has crippled our bodies, minds and hearts, and has condemned as evil almost everything we do.
Osho offers crystal-clear answers to questions and dilemmas we could never understand - even if we had dared to ask about them - and gives us a new perspective, a new way of looking at life and a new way of living in harmony with existence...for Tantra is not an intellectual proposal, it is pure experience. "You may not have even heard the name of Saraha, but Saraha is one of the great benefactors of humanity. If I were to count on my fingers ten benefactors of humanity, Saraha would be one of those ten. If I were to count five, then too, I would not be able to drop Saraha."

Excerpt from The Tantra Experience
Chapter 8
"Tantra says: Don’t avoid sex and don’t avoid death. That’s why Saraha went to the cremation ground to meditate - not to avoid death. And he went with the arrowsmith woman to live a life of healthy, full sex, of optimum sex. On the cremation ground, living with a woman, these two centers had to be relaxed: death and sex. Once you accept death and you are not afraid of it, once you accept sex and you are not afraid of it, your two lower centers are relaxed.
And those are the two lower centers which have been damaged by the society, badly damaged. Once they are relieved…. The other five centers are not damaged. There is no need to damage them because people don’t live in those other five centers. These two centers are naturally available. Birth has happened: the sex center, muladhar. And death is going to happen: svadhishthan, the second center. These two things are there in everybody’s life, so society has destroyed both centers and tried to manipulate man, dominate man, through these two things.
Tantra says: Meditate while you make love, meditate while somebody dies; go, watch, see. Sit by the side of a dying man. Feel, participate in his death. Go in deep meditation with the dying man. And when a man is dying there is a possibility to have a taste of death, because when a man is dying he releases so much energy from the svadhishthan chakra…. He has to release because he is dying. The whole repressed energy on the svadhishthan chakra will be released because he is dying; without releasing it he will not be able to die. So when a man dies or a woman dies, don’t miss the opportunity. If you are close by to a dying man, sit silently, meditate silently. When the man dies, in a sudden burst the energy will be all over, and you can have a taste of death. And that will give you a great relaxation. Yes, death happens, but nobody dies. Yes, death happens, but in fact death never happens.
While making love, meditate so that you can know that something of samadhi penetrates into sexuality. And while meditating on death, go deep into it so that you can see that something of the deathless enters into death. These two experiences will help you to go upwards very easily. The other five centers fortunately are not destroyed; they are perfectly in tune, just energy has to move through them. If these first two centers are helped, energy starts moving. So let death and love be your two objects of meditation."

Tantric Transformation
In this second volume of Osho’s talks on Saraha’s Royal Song, we are given a detailed map of Tantra: inner man, inner woman; the meeting of man and woman; the transformation of sexual energy and other techniques.
The Tantra vision, founded by Saraha, is one of the most glorious visions ever dreamed of by man. Tantra is all-embracing, respecting each of us as individuals and the essential nature of our humanity.
Here Osho explains the goal of Tantra: the experience of cosmic expansion and, ultimately, of divine wisdom. He describes the Tantra map of inner consciousness, including the "four seals" or locks that open in us as we move higher in meditation. Speaking with profound wisdom and compassion, Osho shows how he truly understands the fabric of our lives on earth, seeing both the splendor and despair of our Western ways, and the doubt, misery and guilt that are the legacy of our Hebraic-Christian religions. He encourages us to turn inwards, to expand to the uttermost and to learn the Tantric language of love that will finally bring us joy and happiness in life. This book is a very alive, concrete guide for exploration of our own energy, of our own inner space.

Excerpt from Tantric Transformation
Chapter 1
"All my obscurities, all my hindrances - things that were obstructing my vision - are removed. I can see reality directly. Repressions are no longer there, my energies are in a flow. I am not against my body, I am not inimical to my body, I am one with my body. The division is dropped. My senses are all open and functioning at the optimum. My mind is silent, there is no obsessive thinking. When I need to I think, when I don’t need to I don’t think. I am the master of my house. A light was born in me, and with that light, all obscurities have disappeared. Now nothing obstructs me, my vision is total. The wall that was around me has disappeared.
That wall consists of three things: repressions in the body, dust in the senses, and thoughts in the mind. These are the three bricks that the China Wall around you is made of. Remove these bricks and the wall disappears.
And when the wall is gone, you come to know the One."

Sex is the most powerful instinct in man.
