Sex and Detachment.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Here is my question: How does one love deeply, completely, while practicing detachment?
I struggle to give my heart fully while still remaining unattached to the outcome. Its one thing to say, be detached; how does one practice this?
And how can I remain detached from a woman with whom I have shared intimate, carnal sex? (Here I’m thinking of your interpretation of the Kama Sutra, in which you say you never get any questions about sex – well, here you go!). My ego becomes very entangled with such a woman.
Response:
When you are expressing your heartfelt emotions there shouldn’t be any mental editing or restriction even in the name of detachment. You should express the love in your heart exactly as you feel it and forget about detachment. The detachment is either there or it isn’t depending upon how awake your higher self is through meditation. Detachment is the presence of your silent witness in a state of spontaneous self-referral. Whatever inner wakefulness you have will be there to the degree you have already established. It won’t increase your silent witness presence by trying to be detached. And you don’t do yourself or your partner any favors by thinking of being spiritually removed during sex. So enjoy the physical intimacy of your relationship fully on its own terms and let your spiritual essence be there however it is.
Love,
Deepak
