Sex & Sadhna-------Bonds hindering the spiritual progress

[Guest guest]

friends

There are four strong bonds, which hinder the spiritual progress.

 

1) The bond with the wife 2) The bond with the money 3) The bond with the

child

4) The bond with ones body and life.

 

 

Avadhoota can only be the soul who has cut all these four bonds. A Sanyasi

could cut the first three bonds but not the fourth bond. A Sanyasi takes food,

drinks water, sleeps and leaks the sperm periodically. The Sanyasi avoided the

wife but not the desire for the sex. The eating, drinking, sleep and sex are

the four biological needs of the body. The Avadhoota lives maintaining his body

without these four needs and his body is beyond the rules of the nature. His

body is a divine body maintained by the super power (Maya) of the Lord. The

state of Avadhoota is complete liberation and such complete salvation is

possible only by the complete grace of the Lord. Avadhoota is just an inert

house of the Lord. There is no soul in that body. The soul also is a part of

the nature and so the soul becomes a part of the inert house of the Lord. The

Avadhoota thinks talks or does anything only by the will of the Lord. It is one

system and not two in one. Avadhoota is one hundred

percent Lord. It is the state of the goal and there is no journey further. He

is called as Siddha and not Sadhaka. Even the Sanyasi is a Sadhaka who is still

travelling towards that state. However, a stone can be also equated to

Avadhoota because it also has complete salvation but the Lord is not dwelling in

it. The Salvation must be attained through the devotion of the Lord, which will

lead to the state of Avadhoota. If simple salvation is attained without

devotion it will lead to the state of a stone.

 

 

Among the three bonds the strongest bond is the bond with the children. The

wife can help in the spiritual effort (Sadhana) and therefore she is called as

‘Saha DharmaCharini’. The sex, which is a biological need, is a matter of

attraction of few minutes or at the maximum few hours. This little time is

negligible compared to the long lifetime and the energy dedicated to the Lord.

But the bond with the children persists in all the times and requires the

expenditure of the energy continuously. The Bond with the money also increases

due to this bond with children. For the sake of the children people become

currupt and try to rob others. In such process they are doing lot of injustice.

The strength of this bond is reduced by realization and with this not only the

individual salvation in the upper world is achieved, but also the justice in

this world can be easily established. This is the reason why the Lord spoke

about the detachment of worldly bonds for the establishment of

the justice. He says that He is born to establish the Justice, but He does not

speak about the rules of the Justice. The Government, Police and even the

courts quote the rules of Justice, which cannot establish the Justice. People

are trying to misinterpret these rules and win the case. In Gita the Lord

attempted for the detachment of these bonds, which are responsible for the

injustice. He attacked the problem at the basic level. Therefore, the strength

of the bond with the children is proportional to the injustice in the world.

This bond also hinders the spiritual elevation. Unless the strongest bond is

cut, salvation is impossible. Without the salvation, the single bond with the

Lord is impossible. You can analyze Vyasa, Arjuna and Dhritaraashtra who are

representing the three above average, average and below average levels.

 

Vyasa is the highest Guru and his birthday is celebrated as Guru Purnima. The

divine prostitutes who are of the lowest level mocked such a highest Guru due to

this strongest bond. Vyasa was running after his son and was mocked. He was not

mocked for his bond with the divine lady called ‘Gritaachi’ because it was just

a temporary bond for few minutes. She gave birth to ‘Suka’ through whom Vyasa

had permanent bond for twenty years. For the sake of wife he wasted only few

minutes but for the sake of son he wasted twenty years. Arjuna was also bound

by this strongest bond. He was killing all his relatives on the order of the

Lord. He was prepared to leave the kingdom, but when his son Abhimanyu died, he

stopped the war. The war is the work of the Lord to punish the evil people.

Therefore, the bond with the Lord is not stronger than the bond with his son.

The Lord performed the surgery and broke this strongest bond by killing even the

other children (Upa Pandavas). The Lord

wanted to lift Arjuna. Bhagavatgita was the medicine, which could not work to

break the strongest bond. Therefore, the Lord performed the surgery and lifted

Arjuna and other Pandavas also as they surrendered to Him. The Lord lifted

Vyasa by preaching him through the divine prostitutes. For Vyasa the medicine

was sufficient but for Arjuna surgery was required. Since Vyasa and Pandavas

are His devotees, the Lord did everything for their upliftment. Dhritarashtra

is not a devotee. He knows that Krishna is the Lord. He saw the Viswarupam.

He advised his sons to arrange a feast and attract the Lord to help them. He

tried to grab the wealth of his own brother Pandu who only conquerred the whole

kingdom. When Pandu went to the forest, Dhritaraashtra was made the

representative of the king. He became blind with this strongest bond and did

not mind to do injustice to the son’s of his own brother. The whole wealth

actually belongs to his brother. If he passes an order as a king,

his son cannot hinder it. He has the support of Bhishma. Bhishma took a oath

that he will protect the king. Therefore he need not fear for his son. His

wife Gandhari found fault always with her husband and her sons, but at the last

when her children were killed she gave the curse to Lord Krishna forgetting that

He is the Lord. Such is the strength of this illusory bond! Today

Dhritaraashtra represents people. People are trying to earn the money for the

sake of their children and they are prepared to do injustice to any extent for

this. Like Dhritaraashtra they want to please the Lord by worship to help their

children. Therefore if the Sadhaka can cut this strongest bond all the other

two bonds can be easily cut.

 

Gopikas represent the state of a real Avadhoota. In the absence of Krishna,

they forgot all the biological needs of the body and they jumped into the fire

when they heard that Lord Krishna left the body. They only could cut the bond

with their bodies and bond with their lives also. The Lord could cut their

bonds by dancing with them, by attracting their children to do mischief and by

stealing their butter. By the dance in Brindavanam (Raasakeli), the

husband-wife bond was cut. Their own children stole butter on the order of

Krishna and due to this the mother-child bond was cut. By giving butter to

Krishna, which was their hard-earned wealth, their bond with money was also cut.

Like this Gopikas only could cut all the bonds and achieved the highest grace,

which is the fifteenth upper most world called Goloka. In the case of Hanuman,

he fought with the Lord for the sake of his mother to protect king Yayathi.

Therefore Bhagavatam, which contains the story of the Gopikas at the

end is the most sacred scripture, which could give salvation to Pareekshith in

seven days. The very first verse of Bhagavatam speaks about this strongest bond

of Vyasa. The love in these worldly bonds can be cut only by the love on the

Lord. A diamond can be cut only by another diamond. These bonds with human

beings can be cut only by the bond with the Lord in the form of human being

only. The bond with formless God, or the bond with a form in the upper world

like Vishnu and Siva, or the bond with a statue or a photo cannot cut your

family bonds. These are stones, which fail to cut the diamond. Gopikas could

cut these human bonds by their bond with Lord Krishna who is in the human form

only. Your question is very important because it deals with the actual journey

towards the goal. For us neither the analysis of goal nor the analysis of a

soul is so important as the analysis of the path and journey. The goal can be

realized even after reaching it and need not be known now

itself. Since the soul is travelling towards the goal, the soul is already not

the goal. This one point is sufficient regarding the soul. All the

concentration is to be put up on the analysis of the real path and the mode of

the journey.

Much is hidden about sex and sadhna. Tantra openly advocates sex in

sadhna but all other paths seem to be hiding from it. Any one who

talks/discusses about sex is taken as a lower soul

 

Is sex a hindrance in Sadhna ? Anyone induldging in moral and legal

sex (e.g.with wife), can be a saint ?
