Guruji: Even in the drama of creation, a hundred million sperms die before one gets
a chance to live; it is as if all the dead life forms are trying to get a
chance to live once again. Life proceeds through such massive death. Love of
life is also love of death; thus eros is the same as fear of death, it is the
same energy of manifestation through time.
The purpose of sacred sacrifice can be two-fold. One, to consume the seed
to bring forth fruit, that is, to bring transcendence into the field of time;
Two, to preserve the seed to freeze time itself, and achieve transcendence. The
first is the external heat of sacred sacrifice, of sex, of Bhoga, of enjoyment.
The second is the Internal heat of transforming the sex urge itself into
transcendence, immortality. In either case, fire is the medium for connecting
the Transcendent to the Nature, the Male to Female. Fire is the middle flow of
awareness, the river (nadi) of Sushumna, the warm current, the middle breath of
Yoga. There is no essential difference between Bhoga (enjoyment) and Yoga;
Bhoga is Yoga. There is no essential difference between transcendent
immortality and Immanent mortality. Mortality is also immortality in a
syncretic view of time, where past, present and future can be viewed as here,
here and there, where time has lost the property of flow, and is like space.
Death loses Its’ sting when it can no more destroy, Death cannot destroy when
there is no flow of time; nor can birth take place when there is no flow of
time.
