Sex is nothing to do with Soul, the Self.+

Sex and the sexual act are not the means to Self-realization, because the Self is genderless and ever formless. Sex implies duality.  The tantric sex is a theory based on the false Self (you) within the false experience (waking).  When the world in which you exist is an illusion, thus having sex within the illusory world is bound to be an illusion.  

Tantric sex is the physical-based theory. When the Self is not the body (you), then the Tantric sex theory based on the body has no value.   The Soul, the innermost Self is bodiless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.   The seeker of truth should not fall into the trap of such theories.  Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is nothing to do with tantric sex. 

Sage Sankara's arrival on the scene was at a most critical juncture when both Buddhism and Vedism were fast disintegrating into various sects and cults. Buddha's original teachings were a reaction to the Vedic sacrificial extremities. But in the later century practices like magic and sexual mysticism crept into Buddhism. Vedic religion was not very different, having given way to superstitious ways, and a large number of rituals. It was Sage Sankara who tried to re-assess and integrate the sound teachings of Buddha in the Vedic following and was successful in the revival and reformation of Hindu thinking and way of life.

Remember:~

Gurus who propagate Samadhi through sexual intercourse are not Gnanis. Sexual intercourse is nothing to do with the Soul, which is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.   Those who indulge in sexual activities in order to get enlightenment will permanently remain in the prison of the dualistic illusion.  They are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge. 

Sex is nothing to do with the Soul, the innermost Self. Sex is important to the false self within the false experience.  Sex is restricted by religion and society to maintain peace, harmony, and moral fabric. Such restriction is necessary in practical life within the practical world.

The Soul, the Self is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. The Soul, the  Self is neither a man nor a woman. Sex implies duality. Without duality, sexual activity is impossible because sex happens between two entities. 

All such ideas, therefore, as a man or woman, are a delusion when spoken with regard to the Soul, the Self, and are only proper when spoken of the body (waking entity). So are the ideas of the age. The Soul is ageless because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Ignorance is the cause of the bondage of form, time,  and space. It is through ignorance that the Self has become bound; wisdom will destroy ignorance. Self-knowledge or Brahma Giana or Atma Gnana is necessary to destroy ignorance.

The human goal is to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. In the past, the sages prescribed restrictions on sex because the seekers should not get immersed in sex and forget their quest for truth. There is no need to renounce worldly life and take sanyasa and practice celibacy. Many sages of truth were the householder and had a healthy sexual relationship and good family life.    

Sex is an action. Action is ignorance. Action belongs to form, time and space.  Tantric sex is a theory based on the false self. 

Sage Sankara:~  Action cannot destroy ignorance, for it is not in conflict with or opposed to ignorance. Knowledge does verily destroy ignorance as light destroys deep darkness.~ Atma Bodha

Remember:~

Sex is nothing to do with the Soul, the  Self.   Sex is a reality on a physical base. When the body is not the experiencer of the body itself, it is not correct to be judgemental on the ’I’ (physical base).

Until one becomes aware of the formless entity, which is witnessing the body and the world together, he will not be able to know and realize man and his experience of the world is an illusion. Therefore, it is necessary to become aware of the formless witness to know the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is merely an illusion.

 If the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion, then sex also is part of that illusion. The seeker has to learn to view and judge the worldview on the base of the formless witness, which is the Soul, the Self, to understand and assimilate the truth beyond form, time, and space.

The sex-based theories of enlightenment are mere theories based on the false self (ego or the waking entity) and false experience (waking or universe). Sex is not the means for  Self-realization.:~Santthosh Kumaar
