________________ that is the only way to sublimation. Partiality for any sect or personality cult is not at all the way to sublimation, not at all! Not at all! Because that becomes the cause for attachment and hatred, whereas in support to one's own Soul the support to all the enlightened jeevas is included. Marriage may be a necessity for a seeker but not a celebration. Because those who cannot observe full celibacy may take the support of marriage by which one can satisfy one's necessity within a boundary and can live a life according to the precepts of dharma without any hitch. There can be no celebrations of such marriage because nobody seems to make one's own weakness a cause of celebration and no one is seen celebrating one's own weaknesses. So marry only if it is utmost necessary and that also in a simple way. Secondly as per the logic given above, nobody should celebrate their marriage anniversary etc. rather on that day one should do maximum dharma and contemplate that I shall never have such a necessity of marriage in the future lives! So that I can quickly attain self-realization and emancipation (liberated state). Birth is a disease associated with soul since infinite time not having beginning but not a celebration because one who takes birth is NITYA CHINTANA KANIKAO 61
