This fact has to be meditated upon. A musician creates music, hence his sexual energy is used in a non-sexual way. A dancer creates dance, he need not create children. He becomes a creator of something higher — what is the need to create the lower? Even animals can create children; that is nothing special to man. In fact, animals are far more productive — even mosquitoes can defeat you! That is nothing special to you. Now there are two ways: either repress sex — as has been done by all the so-called religious traditions of the world — or transform it.
I am for transformation, hence I teach my sannyasins to be creative. Create music, create poetry, create painting, create pottery, sculpture — create something! Whatsoever you do, do it with great creativeness, bring something new into existence, and your sex will be fulfilled on a higher plane and there will be no repression. Let your sex become more and more love and less and less lust. And then finally let your love also become a little higher — that is prayer. Lust is the lowest form of sex, love higher than sex, and prayer is the ultimate transformation.
