“I have been against prostitution, whether it has been legalized or illegalized. I believe in love. If two persons love each other they can live as long as they love. The moment love is gone, they should gratefully separate. I have never taught anything concerning free s*x. This is the idiotic Indian yellow journalism that has made my whole philosophy confined to two words. I have written four hundred books. Only one book is concerned about s*x, three hundred ninety-nine books nobody bothers; only one book that is concerned about s*x, and that too is not for s*x, that too is how to transform s*x energy into spiritual energy. It is really anti-s*x.”

“Everybody is afraid of death for the simple reason that we have not tasted of life yet. The man who knows what life is, is never afraid of death; he welcomes death. Whenever death comes he hugs death, he embraces death, he welcomes death, he receives death as a guest. To the man who has not known what life is, death is an enemy; and to the man who knows what life is, death is the ultimate crescendo of life.

“But everybody is afraid of death; that too is contagious. Your parents are afraid of death, your neighbors are afraid of death. Small children start getting infected by this constant fear all around. Everybody is afraid of death. People don’t even want to talk about death.

“There have been only two taboos in the world: s*x and death. It is very strange why s*x and death have been the two taboos not to be talked about, to be avoided. They are deeply connected. S*x represents life because all life arises out of s*x, and death represents the end. And both have been taboo – don’t talk about s*x and don’t talk about death.”
