LOVE IS GOD : ) BUT LUST IS DEVIL : (

Nature has made the sex impulse very strong so that the creation might go on. And, ignorant people are attracted mostly by pleasing appearance, they look for their soul mate in a graveyard of beautiful, nicely dressed forms, unmindful that a devil may be housed within. The attraction should be on the basis of soul and not lust.

Every man who looks upon woman as an object of lust, and who abuses woman to satisfy his lust, commits self destruction. Continued sex abuse impairs the nervous system and affects the heart, eventually destroying peace and happiness. Mankind must realize that the basic nature of the soul is spiritual.

The abuse of sex is compared to running a car without oil, the body cannot stand it. Each drop of vital essence is equivalent to the loss of eight drops of blood.  One can achieve self control in this regard not by forced effort but only through purification of the mind.

Man and woman should look upon one another as reflections of the Divine. For a man, he should in his eyes see a woman as an expression of the divine mother. It is the divine mother, man should see speaking to him through woman.

Krishna played on Radha’s vanity. He said ” lets steal some moments alone” , Radha thought he wanted to be alone with her. They both walked in dense jungle, Radha got tired and asked to take a rest. At this Krishna said ” Do you want me to carry you?” This very much pleased Radha’s vanity, but even as she sprang to his back, lo! Krishna was gone; she fell in a heap on the ground. Her pride was shattered, she cried on her knees.

It was a grievous error to look upon master as an ordinary man, to be ensnared and controlled by feminine wiles. She realized that the Master was interested not in her form but in her soul.

“Bujhe na kaam agni tulsi kahu vishay bhog bahu ghee te” [The fire of  sexual desires cannot be extinguished through the clarified butter of more sex]. The truth is “Jimi prati laabh, lobh adhikai” [ More the profit, more is the greed]. Therefore getting the clarified butter of sex, the desire for sex only intensifies.

We get attracted towards somebody’s beautiful body and face. But if we start thinking what does it contain? The whole body is more or less full of ugly red muscles. And a smiling face is, itself a display of bones. The body is made up of bones, covered with muscles and blood. ALso, inside the body there are death, ego and hatred hidden.

Just like a big  bunglow looks divine and beautiful, but if we remove the cement-plaster from above, we will just find not so good looking  sand, stones, mud etc. Similarly, the human body also looks beautiful, silky and good to look at from outside but it contains blood, muscles, semen, spit, bones, urine, sweat, fat, tears, nose’s fillings and other dirty things, which we would not like to see.

All saints says there is no peace and happiness in sex. Even if you may have  got little happiness out of  sex , but it must have been just like you got  good fragrance from a rose flower but very soon the thorns of the rose flower made you unhappy. Therefore, if you want peace and happiness, get away from all illusions and move on the path of God : )

Note: For the above article i  have used words from the books of two saints namely Sri Sri Paramhansa Yogananda and  Sadhguru Maharshi Santsevi Paramhansa Ji Maharaj : )

There are no roses on the lips : )

An emperor was in love (lust) with a beautiful girl, but she use to love (lust) for a young boy. When the emperor asked her for sleeping with her, she insulted him immediately. The emperor went away and asked his psychiatrist as to how should i punish the girl and his lover. The psychiatrist suggested a strange punishment, according to his suggestion, the two lovers were striped of their clothes and tied together as if they are in the sexual act, at these the two lovers got surprised and enjoyed a lot, coz this is what they wanted, but as one day passed, the lips of the girl was no longer compared to rose by the boy, it started stinking with her mouth’s foul smell, and as one more day passed, they were full of filth of stool and urine. They started hating each other more than anyone. When they were released, they ran off from each other and never had any good feelings towards each other. So such is the result of lust : ( People get into sexual acts on an average of 4000 times in one’s lifetime, all because they always fail to learn from their own  mistakes.
