That is why, what has Krupadudev called the ‘place of
enjoyment’?
Questioner : ‘It is not worth vomiting over’.
Questioner : Yet, what is the reason for being so attracted
to that part of the woman’s body?
Dadashri: This is due to our wrong belief. Why don't we
get attracted to a cow's body part? It's only our belief. There
is nothing except for our belief. Destroy that belief and there
would not be anything.
Questioner : Do these beliefs arise due to circumstances
coming together?
Dadashri : These beliefs arise by what others say to us.
Then by supporting those statements, your beliefs become strong.
After all, what is in there in it? Just pieces of flesh!
The thoughts of sex arise in the mind by themselves. You
must cleanse them with pratikraman. Then you must never say
that sexuality is good, and it should not be so in your behavior.
You must not look sensually at a woman, and you must not
touch a woman. If you have touched a woman then you should
do pratikraman, ‘Oh no, why did I touch her?’ This is because
thoughts of vishaya begin with the act of touching.
Questioner : Is this not considered despising a woman?
Dadashri : That is not called despising. When doing
pratikraman, you are asking for forgiveness from the pure Soul
within her that, ‘I made a mistake, please give me strength not
to do the same again.’ You have to ask for strength from the
Soul within her. You have to ask for strength from whomever
you have made a mistake against, so that you will keep getting
strength.
