Ananta encourages a shift toward neutrality regarding sexual energy, urging seekers to strip away the mind's layers of shame, specialness, and performance to see it as a natural bodily function like hunger.

✦

The mind cannot leave sex to be natural; it must attach either shame or specialness to it.

Be neutral about sex, just as you are neutral about hunger.

Strip away the layers of identity and doership to let everything function in its own natural way.
