The tuber of sexuality is very huge and there is great need to dissolve it. And for that this unique samayik has come about in a very natural way. Arrange to sit in this samayik. It will dissolve everything, all traces of sexuality. You will have to do something about this huge tuber, will you not? You will have to remove all the diseases whilst Dada is here, would you not? Only one or two tubers are large, but would you not have to get rid of whatever disease that is there? You have wandered for countless lives because of this disease of sex. The purpose of this samayik is to get rid of the belief and opinion that there is highest joy in sex.. This belief and opinion gives rise to causes for sexuality in the next life. And therefore to get rid of this belief samayik is necessary.
[8] Touch: The Illusion Of Pleasure People are all involved in the filth of sex. One does not like presence of light during sexual activity. They get alarmed when the light comes on. Therefore they keep lights off. If the light falls on the spot of the sexual activity then one would not like that place of enjoyment', the organ of sexual interaction. That is why, what has Krupadudev called the place of enjoyment'?
Questioner : 'It is not worth vomiting over'.
Questioner: Yet, what is the reason for being so attracted to that part of the woman's body?
Dadashri : This is due to our wrong belief. Why don't we get attracted to a cow's body? It's only our belief. There is nothing except for our belief. Destroy that belief and there would not be anything.
Questioner : Do these beliefs arise due to circumstances coming together?
Dadashri : These beliefs arise by what others say to us. Then by supporting those statements, your beliefs become strong. After all, what is in there in it? Just pieces of flesh!
The thoughts of sex arise in the mind by themselves. You must cleanse them with pratikraman. Then you must never say that sexuality is good, and it should not be so in your behavior. You must not look sensually at a woman, and you must not touch a woman. If you have touched a woman then you should do pratikraman, 'Oh no, why did I touch her?' This is because thoughts of vishaya begin with the act of touching.
Questioner : Is it not considered despising a woman?
Dadashri : That is not called despising. When doing pratikraman, you are asking for forgiveness from the pure Soul within her that, 'I made a mistake, please give me strength not to do the same again.' You have to ask for strength from the Soul within her. You have to ask for strength from whomever you have made a mistake against, so that you will keep getting strength.
Questioner: So then touch does have an effect, does it
not?
Dadashri : At that time you should return to your state of awareness. 'I am separate from this body, I am not Chandresh'. This pure awareness should remain. Whenever this happens, remain in pure awareness of the Self and 'I am not Chandresh'.
The moment the thought of pleasure from being touched arises; you must uproot it and throw it out. If you do not do that instantly, then it will sprout and grow into a tree within the first
