Sun is life; sex is life. All life arises out of sun; all life arises out of sex. All life.
Trees try to reach higher so that they can become available to the sun and the sun becomes available to them. Just watch. The same trees are on this side.

And you can divide your body also between sun and moon; yoga has divided.
It has divided so minutely that it has divided even your breath, your breathing. One nostril is sun breath, another is moon breath. If you become angry you will breathe from the sun side. If you want to become silent, you will breathe
