TWENTY SAYINGS ON CELIBACY

Swami Sivananda

16. Celibacy does not mean to shut oneself out from the worldly temptation, but to sublimate and spiritualize the sex-energy, and to offer it as a pure and humble dedication to the service of God and man. 17. Lustful look, lustful thinking, wet-dreams, are all failures or breaks in celibacy. Be chaste in your look. Be chaste in your talk. Be chaste in your thought. See mother in all women. Cultivate sublime, divine thoughts. Repeat the Lord's name, and meditate regularly. You will be established in celibacy. 18. Those who practise celibacy should control the various forms of sexual impulse. The impulse of lustful look is a great menace, for it will stimulate curiosity and sexual desire. There is no harm in looking at a beautiful object. But you should be very strict to yourself. You will have to feel that everything is a manifestation of God. Lustful look tantamounts to adultery. Purify your thoughts and feelings. Purity is God. Thou art pure, in essence. Thou art an embodiment of purity. Repeat the formula mentally "I am purity, I am purity, " and attain that state of pristine, matchless purity. 

ou are here today. How long will you be here on earth? You do not know. Therefore, be up and doing on the path of Sadhana.
