you. That is why ‘we’ tell you that the five senses are not a
problem. But if you even think about sex, then do pratikraman
immediately, on the spot. And then later, do a hundred, two
hundred pratikramans for it.
However, if you happened to go to a hotel for food
(indulged your taste buds) and failed to do pratikraman for it,
then it is fine. I will make you do that pratikraman. But make
sure you do not get infected by this disease of sexual pleasure.
This is a dangerous disease. What is the cure for this disease?
The answer is that wherever a man has an atkan (blockade),
there lies the disease for sure. For some men, when they see a
certain kind of a woman passing by, changes (galgalia) occur
within them. In reality, everyone is made up of flesh and bones,
but one has an attraction for certain kind of a woman which
occurs from within (a karma effect). Therefore, he will be
attracted. Does he feel attracted to all women? No. But as a
human, he has the old habit of being attracted to a certain shape
and form (roop). ‘How beautiful are these eyes! They are big,
beautiful eyes!’ Hey, you! Even the bulls have big and beautiful
eyes! Why are you not attracted to a bull? And he will say, ‘But
that is a bull whereas this is a human being.’ Hey! These are
places of entrapment!
Being Free from the Major Blockade (Atkan)
of Sexuality
Therefore, whichever ‘shop’ (sexually attractive person)
you get entangled with, the pure Soul (Shuddhatma) within that
‘shop’ is verily the one who will liberate you. So, do pratikraman
and ask the Shuddhatma within ‘that’ person to free you from
this topic of non-celibacy (vishay of abrahmacharya); to free
you from sexuality and sexual impulses. If you try to become
free from this problem of sexuality by other non-specific
approaches, it will not work. Only the Shuddhatma within that
‘shop’ is the one that will liberate you, and this is the precise
