“Now we enter into this great pilgrimage: The Royal Song of Saraha. It is also called The Song on Human Action…Tantra says: First change your being and then your action changes automatically, of its own accord. First attain to a different kind of consciousness, and that will be followed by a different kind of action, character, behavior.

Tantra believes in being, not in action and character. That’s why it is also called The Song on Human Action – because once being is transformed, your action are transformed. That is the only way to change your actions.

Who has ever been able to change his actions directly? You can only pretend.”

We normally associate the word Tantra with sex, but in these ten talks on The Royal Song of Saraha, Osho answers all the questions and dilemmas we could never understand – or were afraid to ask – not could never understand – or were afraid to ask – not only about sex, but about every aspect of life that Tantra actually encompasses. He offers us a new perspective, a new way of looking at life, and a new way of living as we free ourselves from our conditionings and open to a life of awareness, relaxation and naturalness.

“These Songs of Saraha have to be meditated on deeply. Each Song can become the opening of a flower in your heart. I hope these forty verses will become forty flowers in your being, as they became in the heart of the king. The king was liberated so can you be.

Saraha has penetrated the target. You can also become a Saraha.”

Osho continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their individual search for joy, fulfillment, depth, and silence. All his talks address the question of how we can live each moment of our daily lives in awareness, relaxation and totality.

Tantra will say understand sex, do not try to channel it. If you do not understand it, every effort is bound to be a failure, and harmful. So do not do anything. First understand it, and through understanding, the path will be revealed.

You are not to force your energies on that path. Through understanding you come to know the law, just like in science. What are you doing in science? You come to understand a law; a natural mystery is revealed. Once the natural mystery is revealed, you can use the energy creatively.

Without your knowing the inherent law, all efforts are doomed. So Tantra says understand the animal – because in the animal is hidden the potential for your future. Really, it can be said that in the animal the divine is hidden in your past, in seed form. Understand whatsoever your natural forces are. Accept them, understand them. Your mind is not to be there mastering, it is not there to control them and fight with them; it is there to understand them.

Really, if you understand them, you are using your mind rightly. Understand sex, understand anger, understand greed. Be alert try to find out their ways – how they work, what their functions are.

And be constantly aware of the very movement of these animal instincts within. If you can be conscious of these animal instincts, there will be no division; you will not have an unconscious mind. If you can move with these instincts deep within, you will have only a conscious mind; there will be no unconscious.

The unconscious is there because of repression. You have closed the major part of your being to consciousness because you are afraid. You cannot look at your own reality. You are so afraid that you have already moved out of the house – you are so afraid that you have already moved out of the house – you just live on the verandah. You never go in because the fear is there. If you come face-to-face with yourself, all your imagination, all your illusions about yourself will fall down.

You think yourself to be saint, you think yourself to be a religious person, you think yourself to be this and that. If you face your reality, all these illusions will evaporate. And everyone has created an image of himself. That image is false, but we cling to the image and this clinging becomes the barrier toward moving within.

So the first thing is to accept the animal. It is there, and nothing is wrong about it. It is your past, and you cannot deny your past, you can only use it. If you are wise, you will use it and create a better future out of it. If you are wise, you will use it and crate a better future out of it. If you are wise, you will use it and create a better future out of it. If you are foolish you will fight with it, and through fight the future will be destroyed. Fight with a seed, and you will destroy it. Use it, give it soil, help it, protect it, so that the seed becomes a tree, an alive tree, and the future blossoms through it.

The animal is your seed. Do not fight with it. Tantra has no condemnation against it, simply love for it, because the whole future is hidden in it. Know it well, and then you can use it and you can thank it.

Osho defies categorization, reflecting everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing society today. His books are not written but are transcribed from recordings of extemporaneous talks given over a period of thirty-five years. Osho has been described by The Sunday Times in London as one of the “1000 Makes of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid – Day in India as one of the ten people – along with Gandhi, Nehru and Buddha – who have changed the destiny of India.

Osho has a stated aim of helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being, characterized as “Zorba the Buddha” – one whose feet are firmly on the ground, yet whose hands can touch the stars. Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.

He is synonymous with a revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation and an approach to meditation which specifically addresses the accelerated pace of contemporary life. The unique OSHO Active meditations are designed to allow the release of accumulated stress in the body and mind so that it is easier to be still and experience the thought – free state of meditation.
