CHAPTER 2. THE TOWER OF THE SPIRIT
dispersed, and again your body energy becomes a flow is impossible to make your spirit free. The
imprisonment must be broken; the armour must be thrown.
For example, look how the child is prohibited from the age of two. He is not allowed to play with
his genital organs: Don’t touch your penis. Don’t touch your vagina. There seems to be a natural
enjoyment in playing with one’s own body. There seems to be an ecstasy, a natural ecstasy. Look
at a small child, boy or girl, enjoying his own body and you will see what ecstasy is. Tremors of
ecstasy move all over the body. You can see the waves passing all over the body. The child is madly
ecstatic. But this looks animalistic to us – because we have forgotten how to be wild and natural We
will stop the child.
This stopping is for two reasons. One reason is that deep down we feel jealous. The second
reason is that we were also stopped in our childhood and man’s mind is a repetitive mechanism.
Whatsoever has been done to us by our parents we will do to our children. We feel guilt. Something
is wrong. The child is happy and we feel something is wrong. Remember, whenever a child is happy
don’t make the association that something is wrong, otherwise deep down happiness will become
something wrong.
That is what has happened. Whenever you feel happy you feel guilty, and whenever you feel sad you
feel happy. What nonsense – whenever you feel happy you feel something somewhere is wrong! ’I
am doing something wrong.’ Whenever you are sad everything is okay, it is as it should be. This is
because whenever a child is happy, immediately, from somewhere, society enters and says no. The
child has no conception of what is wrong and what is right. He has no morality. A child is amoral. He
knows only happiness and unhappiness – he is wild. And when you say stop, what will the child do?
Waves of happiness were moving all over the body from the head to the toe; from the first centre of
sex, to the seventh centre of SAHASRAR – the kundalini was awake.
Every child comes into this world with his kundalini functioning. But you say stop, and what will the
child do? He will hold his breath. Whenever something has to be stopped, breathing has to be
stopped. He will not breathe, he will pull in his stomach because that is the only way to stop those
waves. His diaphragm will become rock like. Again and again he will pull in his stomach and not
allow deep breathing. His diaphragm will become an armour. Now, beyond that block, breathing will
never pass. If breathing goes deep, it hits the sex centre, and when it hits the sex centre, waves
start moving, energy flows. That is why nobody breathes deeply.
When I tell people to breathe chaotically, they come to me and say that it is very dangerous. They
feel afraid. What is the fear? The fear is that if you breathe chaotically, you will become wild
again. The armour will be broken and the breath will hit the sex centre again. This is how society
suppresses you – it creates a gap between the sex centre and the breathing. And if breathing does
not reach the sex centre, then all sources of happiness are blocked. Your stomach becomes rock
like. It does not allow anything to move down and your body is divided into two. You never identify
yourself with the lower body. To you, lower is really something lower. Evaluation has entered. Upper
means something higher, something good; lower means something bad. You never feel identified
with your lower body, it is something bad – the Devil, the Devil is there.
Adam was turned out, and every Adam and Eve are turned out of the garden. Why? Because they
have eaten the fruit of knowledge, and the fruit of knowledge is the most poisonous. If you want to
