When you truly love a woman or a man, you would never ask silly questions like “Are you a virgin?” When you love, you simply love.
Small minds and intellectualism lead you to such silly questions of virginity, and in the process create many hurdles for you. And you are never able to experience love in the true sense.
And so, I appeal to you all — when you love, let there be no question of age difference, caste difference, or social status difference.
Love Is Not for a Coward
Love is not for a coward.
A man who keeps raising doubts after doubts — love is not for such a man.
Love is for a courageous man. A courageous heart that is willing to jump into the unknown.
Courage is the love affair with the unknown. Only a man who has courage can love.
And Venus in the eighth is one dimension that provides you with courage to walk on the dangerous path of love.
So, Venus in the eighth is not a disease or a setback. And so when there is absolutely no disease, no setback, then why would the doctor prescribe any remedy?
But as mentioned in the very beginning of this answer — it is a strange world. Money has to be earned. And without fear, how will you or anybody churn out money?
And so fear is instilled. Sixth house, eighth house, twelfth house — how much fear is instilled by the means of these three houses!
Fear sells faster than faith.
The truth is simple: Venus in the eighth is a beautiful placement. Venus in the twelfth is also a beautiful placement.
The great Master Osho Rajneesh had Venus in the eighth house, and he openly shared the fact that “I am not a celibate.”
Truthful men or women always say the facts on face because their heart is pure. They don’t live in fantasies and hypocrisies. They understand life more deeply than the others.
Venus in the eighth is also a great spiritual placement. Sexuality and spirituality go hand in hand. Don’t be surprised — because the deeper you can go in sexuality, the greater you can rise in spirituality.
Of course, the sexuality has to be out of true love. And then, there is no sex in it — but just pure love, pure melting in each other.
But this is a very deep subject. Don’t just jump on my words — self-realize the meaning that lies beneath those words.
A certain intensity has to be there, a certain depth.
When your act of sex is intense, then the moment you start moving from being bhogi to becoming a yogi.
The same intensity, the same depth helps you to rise to the higher altitudes. And so, every great yogi was once a great intense lover, a passionate lover with deep intense sexuality.
The Story of Tulsidas
Tulsidas loved his wife a lot. He was a passionate husband, a deep lover.
And he had not yet started on his spiritual journey. He was just like any other common man who loved his wife immensely.
But one day, Tulsidas had to drop his wife at her parents’ house.
Tulsidas could not stay alone for long. After just two nights, he went back to his wife and said: “I want you back. You have stayed for two nights with your parents, now pack your bags and come back with me.”
Tulsidas’ wife was not a common soul. She looked into the eyes of her husband and said:
“Tulsi, if this tremendous passion and love that you have for me — if this same love and passion is directed towards God, then imagine how greatly your life can be transformed.”
Those words — yes, those words — went so deeply into the heart of Tulsidas that he went back to his home, and from that day he never looked back.
His deep passion and love was directed towards the higher purpose of life, towards self-realization.
And then, history is witness to the wonderful spiritual transformation of Tulsidas, who went on to become the greatest saint that the world had ever known.
I humbly prostrate before his Holiness.
The Hanuman Chalisa, written by Saint Tulsidas, is the sweetest holy scripture and the most effective remedy on all the miseries of life.
Neem Karoli Baba — the Baba to whom Steve Jobs of Apple had come all the way from the US to meet — such a great saint says:
“Every sentence of Hanuman Chalisa is a Mahamantra in itself.”
And so, I insist — focus on simple things. The most simple remedies have the greatest solutions that can work wonders in your life.
Avatar Meher Baba, for 20 years, never spoke. He had a secretary who would share his divine message. If somebody would come to meet Meher Baba, then Baba would simply write “Blessings” — and that was all.
And yet, many of his followers benefited through his written messages.
Talking is required for a soul that is yet to evolve. Evolved souls rejoice in silence. They get the message, and through those messages they continue to evolve.
Jai Shree Ganesh, Jai Guru
