Section Two The Path of Brahmacharya With Awareness Of The Self [ 1 ] Even A Sexual Impulse Is Dangerous
Even the Lord had fear of sexuality. The vitarags have never had any fear of anything, except of sexuality. What I mean by fear is that if a snake comes in then wouldn ' t every person lift his or her feet up?
[ 2 ] The Dangers Of The Unsatisfied Appetite Of Sex
Those who are not satisfied in their hunger for food, their chit will roam around food and when they see a restaurant they will get stuck there. Is food the only vishaya, object of satisfaction? There are these five senses and there are so many objects of satisfaction through them. When you have not been satisfied with eating, you will be attracted to more food. Similarly if you are not satisfied in sexual looking, you will keep looking around with all kinds of sexual cravings. When a man has not been satisfied by a woman and vice versa, their chit would be stuck in sexuality. The Lord has called this moha, the illusion and the attachment. It gets stuck the moment you see what has not satisfied you. The chit gets stuck as soon as it sees a woman.
