Beloved ,
What is The Great Desire ? I could write a whole book about it, but one
chapter of my next book can be enough to offer you some answers about this delicate hot issue in Tantra! Here some
explanations extracted from my book: Tantra, The Hidden Mysteries which
will be launched April 2017. "Listen carefully, my dear lovers. The Great
Desire pushes the man and the woman to come closer, to melt, to become one, and
yet at the same time it divides them. Look closely at the moment of creation,
when the sperm meets the ovule; what is really happening? They do not become
one, they divide into two and then four and six and finally into millions of
cells which will become one body. We see one body, but we forget that it was
created by division, not oneness. There was a momentary union when the sperm
and the ovule met, but immediately after this union, division started. What a
strange play! The man and woman’s desire for closeness, for togetherness, for
disappearing into each other, for melting into one another, for ultimate union,
for becoming one has become three! Existence uses some very strange mathematics
where one plus one equals three! In our rational view it equals two. And in our
spiritual quest it equals one. So who is deceiving whom? It seems existence has another plan than our
spiritual non-sense of oneness! In fact, it views it totally differently. Let
me reveal to you its hidden meaning. It is called expansion! Existence is
looking for expansion. It doesn’t desire oneness. It desires expansion. And it
is the same for us too, but we have got entangled in too many spiritual lies
and the greatest one is the Self! Oh! My dear lovers, I can only laugh about
it now, but I can tell you I have been searching so much for the Self. Whoever
first invented this search, I do not know. It must have been someone bored with
being alone, so he needed to find something to look after. He must have been
blind and deaf too. He couldn’t see the beauty around him. He couldn’t hear the
birds singing. He couldn’t relate with existence, so he must have got this
crazy idea of the Self! Something weird he had to find within him. He had to
work very hard to find it of course!! And the harder the better! And he
contaminated other bored and disappointed people around him… and so it went on
and still goes on! It is called Spiritual searching. Oh! I can laugh and laugh
about it. I am grateful to this idiot only because he makes me laugh now! Existence is not looking for the Self. It is
looking for expansion, not oneness. Indeed it seems existence has played a
magnificent trick on us. Because it knows so much about our greed and our
egoism, it has sent us this desire for oneness. It is such a force. Without it
we wouldn’t move, we would stay totally lethargic. We wouldn’t even have been
born. Actually nothing would have started in the first place. Existence had to
invent a trick, a starting point, a trigger: the desire for oneness in order
for existence to expand. With this desire we feel we can come back
home. We know deep down, we are born out of division. It is a very deep
unconscious knowing, torturing us day and night. It is our pain. It motivates
us to search for a state of oneness, to go back home to the womb where we had a
momentary glimpse of oneness… Hmm, the sperm and the ovule meeting! A split
second of oneness! It leaves a big imprint in all of us. We grow up, we do many
things to forget about it, but it keeps on kicking inside of us: come back
home, come back to oneness! One day in lovemaking we discover a moment
of oneness. Suddenly in a deep embrace with our beloved, a door opens to
oneness, but it closes as fast as it opened. This just strengthens our desire
for oneness. And the more glimpses of oneness we have, the more this desire
strengthens. It becomes madness! We become totally drunk with it. We search
more and more for this oneness and each time we feel we get it, it just slips
out of our hands. The reason is simple; it is a momentary state. It is not
permanent, as we would like it to be. It is merely a stepping-stone for
expansion. In expansion we are not one, we are many. We are divided into
billions of pieces. We are here and elsewhere. I know some call it oneness, but
it is very misleading. It makes you believe you are going to be one with
everything. It makes you cling to a self; a self that is one with everything.
To me this idea is dangerous and does not represent the final state. After the
momentary stage of oneness, expansion happens. For this expansion to happen a
very important thing needs to happen: the dissolution of the so-called self, of
your identity, of your ego, of everything you claim is you! The little sperm and the ovule have to
disappear. They have to give up their identity, their form in order to expand.
They need to dissolve into one another. They need to die in order to give birth
to a higher form. This is how it goes: Desire is the spark,
the action, for a physical union of two polarities such as a man and a woman,
then a glimpse of oneness is followed by dissolution of the two polarities and
then division, provoking expansion, creation, transformation… In this way the
Great Desire of Existence is fulfilled through our desire for oneness.” From Chapter
