TWENTY SAYINGS ON CELIBACY

Swami Sivananda
19. Make the mind understand by repeated hammering and discrimination that all sexual pleasures are false, utterly worthless and extremely harmful. Clearly think over how very illusory and full of subsequent disillusionment it is. On no account should you listen to the promptings of the impure mind. Place before the mind the glory and advantage of a life in the eternal and blissful, omniscient Atman. 20. Lust deals a deadly blow to the spiritual calibre of man. Kill this lust by diverse methods. Do not entertain impure thoughts. Do not look at figures that create the mental sensation of passion. Avoid going to cinemas. Do not mix with all sorts of people, people who take pleasure in speaking of women, their character, love, nature, etc. Think of the Lord when the idea of sex enters the mind. Pray to Him fervently.
Real peace can come only out of love and understanding. Man should love man; nation
should understand another nation. Everybody should be filled with the spirit of self-sacrifice and
selfless service. These qualities will manifest themselves in man if he is made to feel he is a spiritual
soldier and that he is perpetually engaged in an inner war with the senses, with the mind, with
egoism, in order to regain the Paradise lost. Ignorance is the common enemy. Egoism is the
universal enemy. Lust, anger and greed are the worst enemies of all mankind. Selfishness is a
powerful foe.
Swami Chidananda




The more you grow spiritually, the more also do you become impersonal. You overcome the limitations of your body and anything connected with the body.
