The force of lewdness is very powerful and in this benightness even big sages tumble several times, and get shattered to pieces. Hence, efforts have been continuously persevered to regularize and restrain it. Having controlled this lewdness, the passion-free personages have established excellent ideals in this respect. In the worldly life a limit has been placed on this cohabitation, while in an ascetic life it has been ordained to drive out of mind even a desire for this vice.
The objective behind the institution of marriage and family system in the worldly life, was to restrain this lust of lewdness. Unbridled sex has been recognised as disastrous to society. In as much proportion insanity of lewdness is restrained to that proportion the behavioural sobriety in an Individual will protrude. Legal code in this respect also indicates the same object. For the restraint and sublimation of this sex-lust the voluntary experiments can be more successful than coercive or imposed ones. The voluntary experiments is obsrvance of celebacy. By his optional will-power one should gradually restrain and extinguish all the three forms of this libidinous tendency-mental, verbal and physical. This will be an adoration of celibacy. The effluance of celibacy shall be of a great help in the discipline of equanimity. This has also a comprehensive dreaming but it has not been explained here.
