Positive and Negative Bodies and Fields of Man and Woman | |
*
You have said that the difference of male and female ends with the fifth body. How do the positive and negative poles of electricity of the first four bodies become adjusted to bring about this happening? Please explain this in detail.
In the context of the male and female bodies you have been told that the first body of the female
is a female body while the second is male, and the exact opposite is the case with the male. Then
the woman's third body is again female and the fourth male. I have told you before that the female
body is incomplete; so is the male body. These two together make a complete body. This union is
possible in two ways. If the external man combines with the external woman, together they create a
unit. With this unit the work of procreation, of nature, goes on. If a man or woman turns inward and
unites with the female or male within, a different journey begins which is the way towards the divine.
The external union, however, is a journey toward nature.
When the first body of the male meets his second, etheric body which is female, these two make a
unit. When the first body of a female meets her second, etheric body which is of the male element,
they also form a unit. This is a wonderful unity. The external union can only be momentary. Very
briefly it gives a period of happiness, then the sorrow of separation is infinitely greater. And this
sorrow brings about a fresh yearning for the same pleasure which again proves to be momentary;
then again there is the parting which is long and painful. So the outer pleasure can only be
momentary whereas the union within abides forever. Once it takes place it never breaks.
Therefore, as long as the union within does not take place there is sorrow and pain. A current of
happiness begins to flow within as soon as the inner union takes place. This pleasure is similar to
that which is experienced momentarily in the outer union that takes place during lovemaking a
union which is so infinitesimal in its duration that it is over almost before it has begun. Many times it
is not even experienced; it happens with such swiftness that it is not experienced at all.
From the viewpoint of yoga, when inner intercourse becomes possible the instinct for outer
intercourse immediately disappears. The reason is that this inner union is completely satisfying
and fulfilling. The images of coitus depicted on temple walls are indications in this direction.
Inner intercourse is a process of meditation. Therefore, opposition arose between the concept of
internal and external intercourse. This was due to the fact that he who enters into inner intercourse
once will lose all interest in outer intercourse.
This also should be remembered: when a woman unites with her male etheric body the resulting
unit will be female; when the male unites with his female etheric body the unit will be male. This
is because the first body absorbs the second body: the second merges in the first. But now these
are male and female in a very different sense. It is not the outer man and the outer woman that we
see: the outer man is incomplete, and therefore uneasy, unsatisfied. The external woman is also
incomplete, and therefore restless, unfulfilled.
If we examine the development of life on earth we will find that in primal organisms the male and
female are both present. For example, the amoeba: the amoeba is half male, half female. Therefore,
there is no other creature more satisfied in this world. No such thing as discontent ever arises in an
amoeba. This is also the reason why it has failed to develop: it has always remained an amoeba.
So very elementary organisms in biological development do not have separate bodies for each sex.
Both male and female are contained within the same body.

When the first body of the woman unites with her male, etheric body, a new woman comes into
being who is a complete woman. We have no idea of the personality of a complete woman because
all the women we know are incomplete. We have no estimate of a complete man because all the
men we know are incomplete; they are all only half. As soon as this unit is completed a supreme
satisfaction pervades a satisfaction in which all discontent diminishes and finally disappears. Now
it will be difficult for this complete man and complete woman to establish any external relationships,
because outwardly there are only half men and half women with whom their personalities do not feel
harmony. However, it is possible for a perfect man one whose first two bodies have united within
to form a relationship with a perfect woman, one whose first two bodies have also united.
Tantra has tried many experiments for this relationship. Therefore, tantra had to go through a great
deal of harassment and misunderstandings. We could not understand what tantrikas were doing
naturally it was beyond our understanding. When a woman and a man who are united to the inner
complementary body make love under the circumstances of tantra, it is nothing more than ordinary
intercourse for us. We could never evaluate what was happening.<...>
Therefore, many surprising methods have been developed in tantra which cannot be immediately
understood. For instance, when there is intercourse between a complete man and a complete
woman there will be no loss of energy: there cannot be, because each forms a complete circuit
within his or her own self. There will be no discharge of energy from the partners; for the first time
they will experience pleasure without loss of energy.
