the vow, right? You need a clear mind when you take it. I had checked, his mind was clear at that time. This is what is called the acceptance of brahmacharya, ideal conduct. In our Gnan the ideal conduct is to be the knower and the seer. Thus for us all we have the combination of brahmacharya, the ideal relativeconduct and the ideal real-conduct. The world has not tasted the bliss of this combined conduct. It is completely different.
Questioner : When can you say that one is free from all sexuality?
Dadashri : When you do not have any thought of sex whatsoever.
There are no thoughts, no sexual looks or anything else regarding sex. It is as if he is ignorant about it, then it is considered brahmacharya.
[15] Awareness of the Self Against Sexuality
Questioner: How does one know that he has become engrossed in a sexual thought or sexuality?
Dadashri : 'Your' opposition exists in it. This opposition of 'ours' is the anti-engrossment tendency. This objection is in itself an indication of not wanting to get involved. I do not want to enter anything that is sexual, and therefore this opposition of yours' is constantly there. The fact that there is an objection means that there is detachment present. If for any reason if you do by a mistake and get involved and engrossed in it, then pratikraman must be done.
Questioner : There is definitely a determined nischaya and the resultant objection against any element of sexuality, yet circumstances sometimes arise that causes one to become involved in it, what is that?
Dadashri : You cannot get engrossed if there is opposition to it and if you do become engrossed then you are said that have stumbled. And for that there is pratikraman.
You should use two kinds of visions. You already have the vision that, 'he is pure Soul'. The second vision should be used when an attraction arises. This second vision is the three vision'. If you do not use the three vision' you will be deluded and pulled.
Attraction would not occur if one were to see the body as it is. But this is not possible for ordinary human beings. For me this is natural. I see everything as it is.
Questioner: I do not understand when you say you see the body as it is. Please explain.
Dadashri : It means that no matter what kind of clothes a man or a woman is wearing, the first vision is that one of without clothes, the second vision is of that without skin, and the third vision is of all the internal organs and contents. Will there be any attraction then?
If you see a woman and you immediately take your eyes off of her, but your eyes keep going there, your eyes keep getting pulled there, then that is called a 'file'. Therefore this is the only mistake you have to understand, in this day and age.
Questioner : Can you please clarify more as to how to purify this vision?
Dadashri : Once you acquire the awareness of 'I am pure Soul' then your vision will become pure. If you slip and experience a sexual impulse, then you should speak aloud five to ten times, "I am shuddhatma, I am shuddhatma, I am shuddhatma", or say, "I am like Dada Bhagwan, free from all
