"Man is evolution. Not only that man is evolving, he is the very vehicle of evolution itself, he is evolution – a tremendous responsibility, and something to be delighted about also, because that's the glory..."
"Man is evolution. Not only that man is evolving, he is the very vehicle of evolution itself, he is evolution – a tremendous responsibility, and something to be delighted about also, because that's the glory..."
Osho continues:
"You only have the form; you are only a possibility. The real is going to happen, and you have to allow it to happen. You have to open toward it.
"That's what yoga is all about: how to help you to move upward toward the omega point where your whole energy is released, transformed, the whole of matter is transmuted into divinity. Yoga has mapped the whole journey, the whole pilgrimage of man; from sex to samadhi, from the lowest center, muladhar, to the highest center, the very peak, the pinnacle of evolution, the sahasrar.
"These things have to be understood before we can enter into the sutras of today. Yoga divides man into seven layers, seven steps, seven centers. The first is muladhar, the sex center, the sun center, and the last, the seventh, is the sahasrar, the God center – the omega point.
"The sex center is intrinsically moving downward. It is your connection with matter, what yoga calls prakriti – nature. The sex center is your relation with nature, the world that you have left behind, the past. If you go on confining yourself to the sex center, you cannot evolve. You will remain where you are; you will remain in contact with your past, but you will not be connected with the future. You are stuck there; man is stuck at the sex center.
"People think they understand everything about sex. Nothing much is yet known, at least not to those who think they know – the psychologists. They think that they know, but the basic thing is yet lacking: the knowledge that sex can become an upward movement, that there is no necessity that it should move only downward. It moves downward because the mechanism to move downward exists in man, already exists in man. It exists in animals also; it exists in trees also. There is nothing much significant about it that it exists in man. The significance of man is that something more exists in man that doesn't exist yet in the plants, in the birds, in the animals. They are bound to move downward; they don't have a staircase within them.
"That is what we mean by seven centers: the staircase of evolution."
