Beasts do not understand the world To be a sorry place.
Not so the wise Who the heavenly nectar drink
While beasts hunger for the sensual.

You have heard stories:
In India the mystics have always .talked about the musk deer. There is a certain kind of deer which has musk in his navel. When the musk starts increasing-- it happens only when the deer is really in sexual heat....
The musk is a natural trick, a biological trick:
when the musk 'starts releasing its fragrance, the female deer become attracted to the deer they come through the musk, through the smell. Smell is one of the most sexual senses--
that's why man has killed his nose. It is a dangerous sense. You don't smell really. In fact, the word itself has become very much condemned. If somebody has good beautiful eyes, you say he sees well .if somebody has perfect ears for music, you say he hears well
but you don't say he smells well. Why?
In fact, to say that he smells means something just the opposite-- it means that he stinks, not that he has the capacity to smell. The capacity is lost. Man does not smell And we try to hide our sexual smells by perfuming, by cleansing, by this and that we hide! We are afraid of the smell, because smell is the closest sense to sex.
Animals fall in love through the smell. The animals smell each other, and when they feel that their smell suits, only then do they make love; then there is a harmony in their being.
This deer-musk is born in the deer only when he is in sexual heat and he needs a female. The female will come to find him. But he is in trouble, because he starts smelling the musk and he cannot understand that it is coming from his own navel, from his own body.
So he runs mad, tries to find out from where this smell is coming, naturally so.
How can he think ?
even man cannot think from where bliss comes, from where beauty comes, from where joy comes.
The deer can be forgiven--poor deer. He goes on rushing here and there in search of the musk, and the more he rushes, the more the fragrance is spread all over the forest; wherever he goes, there is the smell.
It is said that sometimes he becomes almost mad, Not knowing that the musk is within him.
And so is the case with man:
man goes mad seeking and searching--sometimes in money, sometimes
in respect, this and that,
but the musk is within you,
the honey is in your mouth.

That word has a significance of its own , but it is a metaphor. comes from the word pash--pash means bondage means one who is in bondage.The beast is one who is in bondage the bondage of the body,instincts, unconsciousness; the bondage of the society, mind, thought. The beast is one who is in bondage.
Beasts do not understand the world...
How can they understand ?
Their eyes are not free to see; their minds are not free to see; their bodies are not free to feel. They don't hear, they don't see, they don't smell, they don't touch--
they are in bondage. All senses are crippled, chained.
Beasts do not understand the world...
How can they understand the world ?
Beasts do not understand the world To be a sorry place.
And they cannot understand that the world is a sorry place. The so-called world created by the mind and by the body is mirage. It appears so, it appears very beautiful, but it only appears not really so. It is a rainbow --so beautiful, so colorful; you come closer and it disappears. If you want to grasp the rainbow, your hand will be empty, there will be nothing. It is a mirage. But because of unconsciousness
we cannot see it.
Only with awareness does the vision arise;
then we can see where it is only a mirage and where it is truth. Any happiness,that happens by any outer coincidence is a mirage, and you will suffer through it. It a deception, it is a hallucination.
You feel that you are very happy with a woman or with a man ?—
You are going to suffer. Sooner or later you will find that all happiness has disappeared. Sooner or later you will find maybe you were just imagining has never been there. Maybe it was just a dream. You were fantasizing it. When the reality of the woman and the man is revealed. you find two ugly beasts trying to dominate each other.
