looked at another woman, so he has repressed doing this. Since being in Poona he no longer wishes to suppress his feelings. When a woman seduced him recently, his wife had a big fight with him.]
Mm! things are really going nicely!
[Osho tells him that his feelings are perfectly okay and he should not feel guilty, but he needs to help his wife because women have been conditioned to think that they are monogamous and men are polygamous. Both are polygamous, both like to move with others.
She should feel free to move with other men and not cling to just him, Osho says. The more you experience other people, the richer your love will become. If you lose interest in other men, you will lose interest in your husband -- because he is a man! Osho says to the wife that this is a future society here. If she were at the Vatican her feelings of jealousy would be supported and the husband condemned as immoral. But this is not the Vatican and here the support will be for freedom to move. ]
[A primal group member says: There is a saying in Lao Tzu's teaching that anyone who is disturbed by the five colours, five tastes, five sounds, cannot reach truth. But I wanted to eat something delicious and I felt like listening to really good music or singing a song... and then I felt like starting to paint.]
Very good! Lao tzu is not your master. I am your master! You can enjoy; there is no problem.
Being in a joyous relationship with one's senses is not a disturbance. If you repress then disturbance comes in. If you want to eat delicious food, eat. Just remember one thing -- the taste of the food should become the taste of god. Eating food, remember you are eating god. Be respectful: eat with reverence and awe. Listening to music, you are listening to god; all sounds are his sounds. All forms are his forms, all beauty is his, all bodies are his. So you forget that old man, lao tzu!
It is good, perfectly good... enjoy as much as you can! Never make a distinction between the world and god, never divide: it is all one. And my teaching is not for fasting, my teaching is for feasting! I am not for celibacy. I am for celebration!
