Celibacy
[4] The Enjoying Sex Is Not A Discharge
There was a Maharaj, Jain teacher, who used to say a lot about sex in his spiritual talks but when the topic of greed came, he would not say a word. Some intelligent person wondered why he never talks about greed? He talks about every topic except money. He went to the Maharaj and without his knowledge he opened his small bundle. He saw that there was a gold coin in his book, so he took it and went away. When the Maharaj opened the bundle he discovered that the gold coin wasn't there. He looked for the coin but he could not find it. Next day Maharaj started talking about greed in his discourse and that one must not be greedy.
So if you are involved in sexuality, then it will start leaving you if you start talking about it, because you have started opposing sexuality in your mind. The mind's vote on sex is different from yours. The mind realizes that you have become an adversary and so it's vote will not carry any weight. But people do not say anything about sex because the deceit of sex, continuance in sex, exists within them. Also it is not easy to talk openly against sexuality.
Questioner: Some people think that there is no importance of brahmacharya whatsoever in Akram Vignan. They say that everything in Akram including sexuality is only a discharge.
Dadashri : This is not the meaning of Akram Vignan at all. Anyone who thinks like that has not understood 'the path of Akram' at all. If he has understood then I would not have the need to say anything about sex again. The path of Akram means that discharge is considered as discharge. But for these people sexuality does not remain as discharge. They still have severe temptations inside that render them vigorously supporting

sexuality with all its attendant dangers. Their continuance in sexuality is because they do not oppose sexuality at all. Has anyone really understood discharge? Discharge is only discharge when one does not interfere in what is discharging.
[5] Ignorance Is The Root Cause Of Life After Life
The whole foundation of this world is the five vishayas. This is the enjoyment of the objects through the five senses. Those who are free from this are free.

Questioner: What is the fundamental difference between vishaya, which is enjoyed through the five senses and kashaya, which are anger, pride, attachment and greed?
Dadashri : Kashaya is the cause for the next life and vishaya is the effect of the past life. Therefore there is a tremendous difference between the two.
Questioner: Could you explain that in detail please?
Dadashri: All the vishayas that are present now are the result of the past life. That is why I do not scold you that if you want moksha then go and stay by yourself; I do not keep pushing you away from your wife, do I? But I have seen through Gnan that vishaya is the result of past life. That is why I have told you to go home and go to sleep, deal peacefully with your files. I destroy the cause of your next life but I cannot destroy the results of your previous life. No one can destroy that. Even Lord Mahavir cannot destroy it. Lord Mahavir too had to remain in the worldly life for thirty years and had a child. The exact meaning of vishaya and kashaya is being unfolded here, but people would not know anything about this. Only Lord Mahavir knew what this meant.
Questioner: It is because of the vishaya that the kashayas
