Michael wrote: Actually, the good benefits attained through responsible sexual expression are a distraction for the real reason for doing it, which is to become spiritually elevated.  The modesty, the conservation of energy, the resulting steadiness of mind, all makes us fit as elevated spiritual beings.  That is the real foundation of restraint.

Could you explain this part more a bit more in detail??

Author’s Reply:

Nature usually dictates that one utilize the benefits of responsible sexual expression in the social world of human beings. This translates there into improved status, prestige, social power, wealth and all such good things which we crave but as soon as our attention logs on to that, we lose the spiritual perspective.

Laziness is natural, which means that a living being tries to go along with nature for the ride, since in that way the spirit has to make no exertion for anything unless nature sponsor the efforts and provides the thrust for it. But this causes the living being to be a perpetual agent of nature, going up and then down, then up and then down in the mundane evolutional cycle.

If we want to get a handle on this, we have to forego nature’s benefits for social status.

Effective sexual restraint brings on benefits like modesty, conservation of life force energy and steadiness of mind. If we are spiritually focused we can use this for lift to higher dimensions instead of staying on with this as a chip on our shoulders in this social scene.

What is better? To remain here as a celebrity, as a diva or playboy? Or to go to a divine place as a junior permanent resident?

If you rely on hints from nature, you will remain here perpetually.
