| <blockquote>“The other day I was talking about three dimensions: intellectuality, emotionality, sexuality. These are the three dimensions of your inner being. And there is a fourth dimension - brahmacharya. The word brahmacharya is so profound that there is no way to translate it. It does not mean just celibacy; celibacy is a very poor word. Celibacy is negative, it simply says: no sex. Brahmacharya is positive. It says: a divine life. The meaning of brahmacharya is "behaving like a god, living like a god." Brahma means god and charya means living - living like a god, being like a god, behaving like a god. To be godly is brahmacharya. | | <blockquote>“The other day I was talking about three dimensions: intellectuality, emotionality, sexuality. These are the three dimensions of your inner being.

− | Brahmacharya is the fourth dimension of your being. Three dimensions are available to everybody. When all three dimensions function in tune, in step, in a dance, then the fourth arises as a fragrance. The fourth is a song that arises out of these three dancing together, embracing each other, melting, merging, into each other. Then arises the fourth. The fourth is the beyond, the transcendental. “ </blockquote>Link: <nowiki>https://www.osho.com/osho-online-library/osho-talks/sexuality-celibacy-brahmacharya-aff22f29-916?p=57bbef1cc657ad7b5c0c44705eebffa5</nowiki> | + | Brahmacharya is the fourth dimension of your being.

| “Brahmacharya is not against sex. If it is against sex then sex can never disappear. Brahmacharya is a transmutation of the energy: it is not being against sex, rather it is changing the whole energy from the sex center to the higher centers. When it reaches to the seventh center of man, the sahasrar, then brahmacharya happens. If it remains in the first center, the muladhar, then sex; when it reaches to the seventh center, then samadhi. The same energy moves. It is not being against it; rather, it is an art how to use it. “</blockquote> | | “Brahmacharya is not against sex. If it is against sex then sex can never disappear.
