What is Kamasutra?

Excerpt

They don’t, they did not think it’s pornography. You understand? They’re just describing life as it is. So today’s eyes look at Kamasutra as an authentication of pornography. Okay? No. That’s not what it is. They’re just talking about it like they would have talked about anything. Because it’s just one more thing. They did not think it’s everything. They saw it as just one more thing, so they wrote it like that. So it’s like your Physics, Chemistry textbook. Just like that they wrote a sexual textbook.

Is Kamasutra pornography?

The following is an unedited transcript of Sadhguru's video. For better readability, breaks and highlights have been added by the editors.

The thing is – you need to understand this culture. Unfortunately, it’s all been messed up and botched up. We are a godless country. We are a country without any morals. There’s no morality in this country. We could live like this and really live well. Because there was a huge rise of consciousness. Everything could be looked at simply the way it is. People were ruled by their consciousness, not by morality. Not by the fear of punishment. Simply by the sense of living.

We are a godless country. We are a country without any morals

So because there was such a society, anything could be talked anywhere, and there was no issue. Because we clearly understood the nature of human mind. In this mind if you say something is bad, do not think about it, that’ll become the full-time job… in the minds of your friends. Well, any mind. If you say, don’t think about this, only that they will think. And we have produced so many perverted human beings on the planet because we just said, something is wrong and you should not think about it.

If you just let it be – reproductive organs are a small part of who you are. But what should be in the reproductive organ has been very efficiently pushed up into the human head. Now sexuality is not happening in their bodies, it’s happening in their head all the time. In your body it’s a natural process. In your head it’s a sickness. Yes? In your body, it is just a natural process. We are all born out of it. There’s nothing right about it, wrong about it. It’s just one little aspect of our life. If we resist it, it’ll rise into our head, and now it looks like entire life is just about that.

Today, I would say, 95% of human energy is either invested in sex or money

Today, I would say, 95% of human energy is either invested in sex or money. Yes or no? These are two small aspects of your life. One is about your survival, another is a certain aspect of your physiology. Okay? It has become so big because somebody told you these two things are ‘wrong’.

We never looked at it that way, so somebody wrote a text on that. What are all the different ways it happens. What are all the different types of bodies that people have, and compatibility of two different individuals. Everything in explicit detail somebody wrote. Because they never thought – I mean – they’re not looking at it like this. They don’t, they did not think it’s pornography. You understand? They’re just describing life as it is. So today’s eyes look at Kamasutra as an authentication of pornography. Okay? No. That’s not what it is. They’re just talking about it like they would have talked about anything. Because it’s just one more thing. They did not think it’s everything. They saw it as just one more thing, so they wrote it like that. So it’s like your Physics, Chemistry textbook. Just like that they wrote a sexual textbook.
