SOUL DEGRADATION !

[Guest guest]

man. Go wherever you like—Amsterdam, London or New York. Analyze this world of

phenomenal experience. You will find only two things—sex and ego. The sex

instinct is the greatest urge in human life. Sex energy or lust is the most

deep-rooted instinct in man. Sex energy entirely fills the mind, intellect,

Prana, senses and the whole body. It is the oldest of the factors that have

gone into the constitution of the human being. A man has a thousand and one

desires. But the central strong desire is the sexual desire. The fundamental

desire is the urge for a mate. All hang on this central basic desire.

The desire for money, the desire for a son, the desire for property, the desire

for houses, the desire for cattle and other desires come later on. Because

the whole creation of this universe is to be kept up, God has made the sexual

desire very, very powerful. Otherwise, many Jivanmuktas would have cropped up

quite easily, just as graduates from universities. It is easy to get university

qualifications. It demands a little money, memory, intelligence and a little

strain. But it is an uphill climb to obliterate the sexual impulse. He who has

completely eradicated lust and is established in mental Brahmacharya is Brahman

or God Himself.

Roman"> This world is nothing but sex and ego. Ego is the chief thing. It is

the basis. Sex hangs on the ego. If the ego is destroyed by Vichara or enquiry

of "Who am I?", the sex idea takes to its heels by itself. Man, master of his

destiny, has lost his divine glory and has become a slave, a tool, in the hands

of sex and ego on account of ignorance. Sex and ego are the products of Avidya

or nescience. The dawn of knowledge of the Self annihilates these two enemies

of Atman, the two dacoits who are plundering the helpless, ignorant, little,

false Jiva, the illusory "I". Man has degraded himself to a great degree by

becoming the puppet of passion. Alas! He has become an imitative machine. He

has lost his power of discrimination. He has sunk into the most abject form of

slavery. What a sad state! What a lamentable plight indeed! If he wishes to

regain his lost divine state and Brahmic glory, his whole being must be

transformed, his sex desire must be completely transmuted by sublime divine

thoughts and regular meditation. Transmutation of the sex desire is a very

potent, efficacious and

satisfactory way to realize eternal bliss.”

----------Sri Swami

Sivananda "Try to gain absolute mastery over the sexual instinct. If one

succeeds in doing this, a physiological change is produced in the body by the

development of a hitherto rudimentary nerve known as Medha ( the function of

which is to transmute the lower energies into the higher). The knowledge of the

higher Self is gained after the development of this Medha nerve."
