In Ananda's own words..
" People imagine that peace is boring. As you finding out dear one, this is not so. The sensation of feeling at peace is so full of beauty and expressions of love, that the life you are living becomes a beautiful expression of life, rather than the painful and turbulent expression of the ego, which will you drive you mad, and even drive you to kill yourself one way or another. What do you think that obsessions of food or alcohol are but the ego trying to kill you slowly but surely. We will see this and are occasionally aware of it, that this is indeed an insane way to live, and makes life such a burden and pleasureless existence.
Another is the belief that the renouncing of the physical on the spiritual journey will mean that you have to give up all things of joy, and this includes sex. But this is the mis-teaching that has occurred, that the sexual union between loving souls needs to be let go of some how to be good and spiritual. This is not so, in fact the Divine Sexual union of which we speak is one of the higher expressions of Divine Love. It is the opposite of what most of you have been taught, that in some way the lower self is at play in the bedroom. The truth is that if the ego is in the bedroom then yes, this indeed can be true, but that when the ego is diffused through awareness, and forgiveness, the pleasures of the body are enhanced. As the walls are gone and the need to protect is removed, this is when the true connection can be made. The body used as a communication device only, speaking the language of love to our beloved partner with gentleness and defenselessness."
