commentaries on the stories
of the Taoist mystic Chuang Tzu

Pune, India


    Chuang Tzu and his old master, Lao Tzu, are
    against culture. They are for nature, pure nature.

    Trees are in a better position than you, even
    birds, fishes in the river, are in a better position
    because they are more alive, they dance more to
    the rhythm of nature. You have completely
    forgotten what nature is. You have condemned it
    to the very root.

    And if you want to condemn nature you have to
    start by condemning sex, because the whole of
    nature arises out of it. The whole of nature is an
    overflowing of sex energy, of love. The birds sing,
    the trees flower – this is all sexual energy,
    exploding. Flowers are sex symbols, the singing
    of the birds is sexual, the whole of Tao is nothing
    but sex energy – the whole of nature propagates
    itself, loves itself, moves into deeper ecstasies of
    love and existence...
