CELIBACY THE ONLY WAY FOR SEEKERS
Brahmacharya - living like a God. Just because in the ashram I have the Rishi sampradaya also, it does not mean that I accept this concept of marriage in the life of a seeker.
I am making it very clear. The worst thing that can happen to a seeker, in the spiritual life is marriage. I know, I am going to break thousands of peoples' ignorance.
Understand, as a compassionate being I have to give a place for everybody. Tolerated is different, accepted is different, realized is different.
Marriage in the seekers' life is tolerated. Rishi order is accepted. But only brahmacharya is promoted. Whenever you go to the peak based on body you get back to your animal bio-memory and again it takes at least a few years of spiritual practice for you to raise to the level of Divine.
It is very rare that I speak about the importance of brahmacharya, because sometime it puts the householders into depression. But just because they fall into depression, I cannot be hiding the sacred truths for quite a long time.
Understand, already one-third of your life is gone in search of food, one-third has gone in sleep, and in the remaining one-third, until twenty-five years old you are too busy with education, after sixty-five your body and mind won't be useful to do anything. Then between twenty-five and sixty-five, that forty years, if you get married also, gone.
Seeking is building the new consciousness for you to take a jump. It is like building an airport. How an airport runway is necessary for an aircraft to take off, a brahmacharya body is necessary for you to take off into enlightenment, into the planes of consciousness, into the space of consciousness.
In the modern day, marriage has become a failure system. You don't need a separate hell other than marriage. If you are a seeker, a sincere seeker there is no other way, other than sanyasa and brahmacharya.
In Vedic tradition, even marriage is used to reach the brahmacharya. If you are married, one year is more than enough to experience the smell of sweating and move out.
If you are a seeker, no other way, no other method, no other lifestyle exists other than brahmacharya for achieving enlightenment. If you do not have the goal of enlightenment in your life, then you do what you want, but don't promote that as the right lifestyle.
Untouched beings are the best flowers to be offered at the feet of God. I tell you if you are completely devoted, how will you feel comfortable. I know I am throwing a bomb into many families, but I have to tell some of the spiritual truths.
This necessity for brahmacharya, celibacy for a seeker to get enlightened, is the most practical spiritual instruction I can give. It takes away millions of sufferings, and not only that even your consciousness will be free.
The more and more you feel you are married, you are committed to somebody, it is like continuously cutting the wings of a bird. The more the bird grows every three months, you cut the wings. You just clip the feathers. Will the bird be able to ever fly?
Clipping the feathers is the most unfortunate thing that can happen to a bird. Marriage is the most unfortunate thing that can happen to a seeker.
A seeker does not belong to the human species. Human beings are only potential of seekers. Seeker is the reality that started happening from the potentiality called human beings. And master is the realized of the potentiality of human beings.
The best life a human being can have is brahmacharya. If the fruit has to happen, the flower should not fall from the tree. Fallen flower never becomes fruit. A person who has fallen from brahmacharya, never becomes a Master.
One living sannyasi can create and help thousands of spiritual seekers. Sanyasis are fruits of Bharat's spiritual aspiration.
Sanyas and brahmacharya, the one and the most important spiritual path for achieving the ultimate enlightenment, and achieving the highest reality.
