Celibacy
Man has wrongly believes of pleasure existing in sex. Now, if you experience greater happiness and pleasure in something other than sex, then you would not seek pleasure in sex. There is no happiness in sex but there is no other option for the humans in worldly interactions. Otherwise who would knowingly open the lid of a gutter? If there were happiness in sex, Chakravatis (kings of continents) with so many queens, would not have set out in search of real happiness. With Gnan, Self-realization you attain eternal bliss. Yet, after this Gnan, sexual impulses do not leave you immediately. They leave gradually. Still one must think about how filthy and dangerous sexual involvement is.

It is the disease of man to see a woman as a woman. When there is no such disease he will not see her as a woman.
If we count from endless number of births, men have always married women and vice versa, but still the fascination in sex remains. When will this ever end? Would it not be better if you become single so that all these difficulties would end?
Brahmacharya should be practiced with understanding. If the fruit of brahmacharya is not moksha then, that brahmacharya is like castration. It will make your body good, strong, and good looking and you would live longer. Even a bull becomes strong and healthy.
Questioner: I do not feel like getting married at all. Dadashri : Really! Will you be okay if you don't get
married?
Questioner: Yes, my only desire is to attain brahmacharya. Please give me some strength and understanding for that.
Celibacy
Dadashri : For that you have to have a deep inner intent. Everyday, you have to say, 'Dear Dada Bhagwan! Give me strength to practice brahmacharya'. And you have to get rid of the slightest thought of sex as soon as it arises. If not, a seed of sex will be sown. If allowed to remain, after two days it will become a problem for you. Hence uproot such a thought and get rid of it right away. Next, make sure that you do not look with sexual thoughts at any woman. If your eyes happen to pull you towards a woman, pull away from her, remember Dada and ask for forgiveness. When it continuously remains within that any element of sexuality is not worth pursuing then no seed will sprout. Even now if one stays under my shelter, then his goal of brahmacharya will be fully attained.
The one who definitely wants to practice brahmacharya, must first examine and severely test his control over his senses, and if he feels that he may slip, then it is better for him to get married. Even after that, it should be under control and he should alert her about his desire for exercising control.
[2] On The Path Of Total Freedom From Sexual Impulses...
Questioner: What is the means by which sexual impulses can be removed, in the Akram path?
Dadashri : This is a different path. Here, you do not have to remove any sexual impulses. So many people practice brahmacharya of the mind, body and speech here. Those who are married, find their solution from the way that I have shown them.
'Here', as the Self there is no place for sexual impulses or sexuality. 'This' place, the Self is eternally free from any movement. It never leaves its original state (nirvikari).
