All the things of the enlightened man's life take on new and heightened significance. He finds in the sex act a spiritual union that adds to the sum of its rapture, to the totality of its ecstasy by opening planes and areas of experience that before were only vaguely hinted at. Now he comes to his beloved in reverence, in humility, knowing as he penetrates flesh he penetrates spirit also, finding in possessing and being possessed a wholeness, a togetherness, a oneness, that increases his knowledge of the Divine.
From the microcosm of the sex act he senses, radiating out on all sides into the outermost reaches of infinity, that power and permanence and rapture and joy that only can emanate from God. So he comes to his beloved spiritually as well as physically; he knows the Divine in his beloved as he knows the Divine in himself; the two mingle and are one.
