________________ 'We find it hard to understand why one is stuck with this intense greed lalacha for sex when even the mind, the intellect and the ego do not like it. Questioner: He experiences momentary pleasure in it. Dadashri: No, it is not a question of momentary pleasure. Everyone is stuck in it because the world does it and finds it pleasurable. It is something the sense organs do not accept. There is no problem with eating jalebi. Jalebi too is a vishaya (object of pleasure) but there is no problem with it. It looks appealing to the eyes and when you break it, you can hear it crack. It smells fragrant and it appeals to the taste buds. Even the fingers like to touch it. So, what 'we' are saying is that if your senses accept it, eat the jalebi. But with sex, the sense of smell finds it so repugnant that one will not feel like eating for three days. An lalachoo man will beg and bow down to a woman to have sex. That is how unaware a man can become. What I am saying is that, what is the need for any other pleasure seeking, after experiencing the bliss of the Self? Sex is nothing but filth! It is covered filth. One would realize it when it is exposed. It is all filth covered with a silken cloth. It is a betrayal. One does not remember all this and that is why he finds himself in this predicament. And what will a covetous man do? In his intense greed lalacha, if the woman tells him to lick the pus coming out of a boil on her arm, he will do it! Even dogs would not lick in this way! That is avarice and intense greed lalacha. His ego will not bother him there; it will not arise to question 'How can I do this? The hell with it, I do not want this.' Intense greed lalacha can kill a person. The rule is that if a person eats a lot of onions, he will not be able to smell onions even if he is sitting next to them. And the person who does not eat onions will be able to smell an onion even if he is sitting three rooms away. Similarly, a covetous person is completely impervious and unaware. Sex means bestiality! It is a sign of animalistic behaviour. Is it a human behaviour? Sex should only be for having two or three children. After that is sex even meant for humans?
