Spirituality and Celibacy (Part 1)
Celibacy helps to conserve energy. Spirituality is about uplifting the energy and pleasure depletes energy and leads you to inertia. This not only applies to celibacy but to the five senses also. When we overdo it, how exhausted one becomes. For example food - if you take little food you feel energetic and you can meditate, but if you eat too much, you do not feel energetic. You feel dull and feel like lying down. You feel a sort of inertiahas overtaken you.
Similarly, sex can lead you to heavy inertia. Spirituality is against inertia of any sort, whether through food, or watching two movies consecutively, or TV.
Watching anything for too long can cause inertia in the brain. One never gets that bubbling enthusiasm of energy from over-indulging the senses. So, eating, touching, seeing or smelling, any of these done excessively can cause inertia and that is not congenial for spiritual advancement.
=====================
Q: How can I be sure to be in my last incarnation?
Guruji : When you are totally content, then you can say 'This is my last incarnation'. Even then, there is no criterion. Maybe nature wants you to come back and do some work, then you have to come back again.
=====================
Whenever confusion arises in you that time one level of understanding is broken down, and a paradigm shift is happening. It is good. So go step-by-step.
=====================
Be stress free - keep your body, mind and spirit free from stress. It is not a one-time job; it is something that has to be done over and over again, like keeping your teeth clean; like dental hygiene.
=====================
Volunteering is at the very core of being a human. No one has made it through life without someone else’s help.
=====================
When you are sitting and meditating or singing bhajans, the fluids in your body are absorbing those impressions. That is why you feel elevated and good.
Om Namah Shivay
