IMMORTAL LIGHT - Married Life

 

The importance of celibacy

 

Couples should abstain from sexual relations at least two or three

days a week. Gradually try to reach a stage of celibacy most days.

Avoid sexual relations on full moon and new moon days and when the

wife is going through her monthly periods. Try to gather the

strength to live as brother and sister after one or two children are

born. This is essential for reaping the full benefit of sadhana and

to make spiritual progress through mental restraint.

 

Each time we have sex, we should ask the question: "O mind, where

does this joy come from? Isn't this only draining my strength?" Any

pleasure gained by means other than mental control weakens the body.

The relation between the husband and wife should turn into a love of

the heart untouched by desire. Make progress in the path of virtue,

keeping the mind fixed solely on the Supreme Being.
