Both these types of activities defile the bio-electro-magnetic field of a person. Really speaking pure or impure, good or bad thoughts of our mind make our bio-electro-magnetic field good or bad.
When electricity is passed through steel, it also becomes magnet and, like a magnet, it has its own magnetic field. But a peculiar characteristic of the bio-electro-magnetic field of living beings is that they can expand or contract it to any extent and in any direction as the amoeba can expand or contract its pseudopodia. Really speaking, according to the belief of Jain philosophy, the magnetic field is formed by Mano Vargaņā (paramāņu-units of material particles) emitted by sensorium, as the sensorium is made of material particles. When a man looks at a particular object or person in a particular direction, his magnetic field extends as far as the object or person. Of course, mathematically, the magnetic field of any living or non-living thing extends as long as infinite distance but it has very little influence on very distant objects.
When a man thinks of sensual pleasures with a woman, his mind attracts the woman's mind and thoughts of mind create attraction between unlike poles of each other. Their mind gets united, the circuit of bio-electromagnetic current is completed, misconduct is unknowingly and invisibly committed and there is a mental breach of celibacy.
Electricity is an energy and it is stored in a battery. It has positive (+ve) and negative (-ve) poles. The chemical substance is between the poles and this energy is stored in it. Unless the positive pole and the negati joined, the energy is not used. But as soon as the poles are connected, the energy begins to be used and ultimately it is exhausted. Simila haustible and undivided energy is accumulated in the world in the form of men and women. Men and women are two poles of it. When these two poles are connected in one way or another, energy comes to be used. This connection is established in five ways: (*1) through the actual sexual intercourse, (2) only through touch, (3) through eyes,(4) through words and (5) through mind or sensorium. This is why scripturists have forbidden one who fully and sincerely observes celibacy to touch a person of opposite sex, to look steadily at him or her, to talk with him or her for a long time or even to think of the person of opposite sex.
