Come find the Beauty life has to Offer Be a Great Existence - Namaste,
Namaste and Great Day - * Celibacy has no meaning to this one at all as being part of the path or not - it is a natural falling away and has never been thought about. It does not make one more holy to be celibate just as having sex is not unholy. G yes this is true. People have some idea that sex is repressed or pushed away. i don't see being celibate as being more *holy*. Although many guru's push celibacy and many paths push celibacy i don't. i rather Stress celibacy when one is not in a commited relationship. If you want to have a family and a partner Great, Fine but indescriminate sexual relations is a driving force which is based upon many times some attempt to fill a hole. This is not beneficial and opens one to many complications in life. Many more than this type of activity will solve. * It is the mind set, the obsession and driving mentality within action, sexual or otherwise that is the problem. G indeed - when it falls away it simply falls away. This does not mean one is against anything. Doesn't mean that one may not at a later time Choose to have a partner - there is nothing wrong in this. There is nothing lessor in this. The ONLY difficulty is when one gets caught up in externalizations. * Spirit moves and expresses itself differently for each - all within the one heart - the garden of grace. In the beauty of Isness, G One may dance with a Partner and one may dance with the Universe doesn't matter. Within the Stillness the Universe Sings. Bliss is beyond the physical. Siddhananda Maha Shanti OM 0 Namaste and Great Day Swamiji, Yes, exactly it isn't a black and white thing as there is no identity to it...only flow - if relationship comes, it is a movement within stillness, within the one. One is complete either way - the term celibacy has no meaning within flow as most see it attached to a persona or believe one is making efforts at pushing this urge away in order to become something holier. Just flow, pure, sweet and complete. In celebration, Siddhananda > G Celibacy is being within that One Absolute Consciousness which is ever Pure and Untouched by worldly drama. As the bible says. Be in the world but not of it While people in the world see it as having to do with being non-sexual it really has to do more with a State of Consciousness rather than a bodily happening or not. > In celebration, > Siddhananda Maha Shanti OM 0 Namaste Swamiji, Yes, this is the same as bramacharya - purity in consciousness only - the rest are just external happenings that come and go on this screen of purity. No-body, just isness, Love, Siddhananda
