Therefore do not begin this sexual link with anyone.
Are you overcome by sleep that veils your awareness of
the Self? The world will latch on to you if you dose off in such
sleep. Now, from here on if you dose off, get attracted and
tempted sexually with certain person, you have to ask for energy
of brahmacharya from the pure Soul of that person, by saying,
‘O pure Soul! Give me the strength to maintain my brahmacharya
with the entire world’. It is good if you ask for strength from
‘Dada’ but it is best to ask directly from the pure Soul of the
person who is pulling you.
Questioner : What should we do if the eyes meet
sexually?
Dadashri : Become clean and pure with the help of
pratikraman. You must do pratikraman as soon as sexuality
arises through the meeting of the eyes. That is why it has been
said not to place a photograph or a statue of a beautiful woman.
Questioner : It is believed that sex is the sweetest of all.
On what grounds is this based?
Dadashri : The reason why one feels the sweetness in
sex is because one has not experienced sweetness anywhere
else. If we really look at it, there is most filth in sexuality than
anywhere else. But this momentary sweetness and pleasure
renders one unconscious even while awake.
Questioner : I do not like it at all and yet the attraction
remains. I continue to experience remorse about it.
Dadashri : If there is remorse, then it will go away. How
can sexuality remain if you see only the Soul of the person? Sex
occurs when you see anything else except the Self. Do you
know how to analyze sexuality?
Questioner : Please tell me, Dada.
