Dear Diedre,

The sexual escapades of Gurus continues to scandalize spiritual seekers, particularly in the West, where we are so tuned to the problems of sexual exploitation.

Mahrashi has an interesting thing to say about this subject, though, from the Eastern point of view, perhaps:

"One should not be deceived by the external appearance of a jnani [sage]...When he seems keenly interested in the wonders of the world, he is only ridiculing the ignorance born of superimposition."

One thinks here of the conspicuous consumption of all the Rolls Royce's owned by OHO (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) :))

Maharshi continues:

" If he appears indulging in sexual pleasures, he must be taken to enjoy the ever-inherent Bliss of the Self, which divided Itself into the individual self and the Universal Self, delights in their reunion to retain Its original Nature.... All his actions should be taken to be only divine manifestations on the plane of humanity. There should not arise even the least doubt as to his being emancipated while yet alive. He lives only for the good of the world.
Sri Bhagavan now warned the hearers against the mistake of disparaging a jnani for his apparent conduct... P. 422-423 Talks

Interesting! :)) Kundalini can certainly sometimes cause one to lose a sense of conventional morality. Thoughts anyone?

Love, Hillary
