there should be only this one goal.
Remain very alert and keep the "Gnani Purush' over your head at all times. You never know when you will encounter difficulties. At that time ask for Dada's help or summon him and he will be present.
There is no one to bother you if you are pure. Even if the whole world turns against you I can handle them alone. I know that you are pure and so I am capable of handling anyone. I have to be assured hundred percent. You cannot handle the whole world therefore I have to take your side. So, do not worry at all. There is no one in this world to bother you if you are pure. Dada can confront anyone in the whole world who talks about him, because he is absolutely a pure person. His mind is pure too. [17] Exclusive Nature Of Brahmacharya In Akram Vignan
Brahmacharya has been accepted by the whole world. Without brahmacharya, the Self can never be attained. Any one who is against brahmacharya will never attain the Self. One must forever be vigilant against all elements of sexuality. Here even a second of non-vigilance will not do.
Dadashri : One practiced after getting married is higher but it is very difficult to do so. We have so many married people practicing brahmacharya, but they are all in their forties.
Ultimately, even married people will have let go of sex for last ten to fifteen years of their lives. They will have to be free from everything. Lord Mahavir too, was free in the last fortytwo years of his life. There are endless difficulties with a woman in this worldly life. Difficulties begin from the time they are joined together in matrimony. How can two minds think alike? How long can they think alike? Suppose, if they both liked the kadhi soup, but what about the vegetables? Here the two minds would not think alike and hence they achieve nothing. There is never harmony where there are differences in opinions.
Gnani Purush is open too sky', without any secrets. He is available no matter what time of the night you go to him. I do not have to practice brahmacharya. I do not even think about sex. This body does not have those atoms of sexuality. That is why such speech related to brahmacharya comes out. No one has spoken about brahmacharya. People themselves are passionate about sex and involved in sexuality and therefore they have not spoken against it. And here, I have spoken enough about brahmacharya that a whole book can be published. I have spoken about it in its entire spectrum. This is because no atom of sexuality remains. I remain detached from my body and live like a neighbor with my body. Otherwise, this type of wonder would never be found, would it?
If you eat a fruit but eat with repentance, then new seed would not be sown and if you eat with pleasure that, 'Yes, today I really enjoyed myself', then new seed would be sown.
Otherwise this brahmacharya will slack off if you relax
Questioner : How much relation is there between brahmacharya and moksha (liberation)?
Dadashri : There is a lot of relation. The Self cannot be experienced without brahmacharya. You will never know,' Is this bliss from sex or is it from the Self?'
Questioner : There are two types of brahmacharyas. One is that practiced in a married state and the other in an unmarried state. Which is the higher of the two?
