Celibacy
the real ideal conduct, the total experience of the Self arises, one is considered to have become God. At the moment this, the Self is your darshan (vision), then it will be your Gnan (knowledge) but it will take time to manifest as your conduct, as the experience of the Self. Still, this real conduct has begun because this is Akram Vignan, but it would be difficult for you to understand this.
Questioner: What more can we do about ideal worldly
conduct?
Dadashri : Nothing. What else can you do about the worldly conduct? Staying in the Agnas of the Gnani is the ideal worldly conduct and if ever brahmacharya were added to this, it would be much better because then it is considered the ideal worldly conduct.
The only key to achieving spiritual victory is if the subject of sex does not become the object of enjoyment. Sex exists. It is there everywhere. When no element of involvement in sex remains then the world has been won. The world can be transformed. Others will be transformed by seeing your sheel. Sheel means total purity in the world, combined with the absolute experience of the Self. Otherwise no one will transform. On the contrary there would be an adverse effect. Nowadays where is sheel to be found?
All the twenty-four tirthankaras have talked about the need for a separate bed and a separate seat for opposite sex because two prakrutis (people, non-Self) are never completely compatible with each other. Therefore, they will keep 'disadjusting' (misadjusting), and hence perpetuation of the worldly life. That is why the Lord had discovered this concept of separate bed and separate seat.

The Path of Brahmacharya With Awareness Of The Self
[1] Even A Sexual Impulse Is Dangerous
Even the Lord had fear of sex. The vitarags have never had any afraid of anything, except sex. What I mean by afraid is that if a snake comes in then wouldn't every person lift their feet up?
[2] The Dangers Of The Unsatisfied Appetite Of Sex
Those who are not satisfied in their hunger for food, their chit will roam around food and when they see a restaurant they will get stuck there. Is food the only vishaya, object of satisfaction? There are these five senses and there are so many objects of satisfaction through them. When you have not been satisfied with eating, you will be attracted to more food. Similarly if you are not satisfied in sexual looking, you will keep looking around with all kinds of sexual cravings. When a man has not been satisfied by a woman and vice versa, their chit would be stuck in sexuality. The Lord has called this moha, the illusion and the attachment. It gets stuck the moment you see what has not satisfied you. The chit gets stuck as soon as it sees a
woman.
He sees, 'This is a woman'. This is the disease of the man. If a man has this disease then he will see the woman, otherwise he will see only the Self in that person. To see, 'This is a man', is the disease of the woman. Moksha occurs when this disease is eradicated. I am free from this disease now. These thoughts never come to me.
