Excerpts from "The Book of Secrets"

Love is spontaneous. It cannot be controlled. You cannot "make" love; you cannot do anything about it. And the more you do, the more you will miss it. You have to allow it to happen. You are not needed for it. Your presence is the hindrance.

Nonchoosing mean you are not to decide where life goes. You allow life to move, to take you with it, and you have no fixed goal. If you have a fixed goal, you are bound to choose. Life's goal is your goal. You are not moving against life; you have no ideas of your own against life. You leave yourself, you surrender yourself to the life force itself. This is what tantra means by total acceptance.

Remember yourself as light.

Sex and death both are basic for a real seeker, but for ordinary humanity both are taboo. Bo one talks about them, and both are basic and both are deeply related. They are so deeply related that even upon entering sex you enter a certain death---because you are dying. The ego is disappearing; your individuality is disappearing. You are dying! Sex is also a subtle death. And if you can know that sex is a subtle death, death can become a great sexual orgasm.

You love so that you will not fear. Whenever you believe that you are in love, you are less afraid. For the moment you can forget death. An illusion is created in which you can feel that you are accepted by the existence; you are not denied, rejected. That is why there is so much need of love and of being loved.
