"Cellbacy is to a transcendentalist what electricity is to an electric bulb.

Without celibacy no spiritual progress is possible. It is a potent weapon

and shield to wage war against the internal evil forces of lust, anger and

greed. It serves as a gateway for the bliss beyond, and opens the door of

liberation. It contributes perennial joy and uninterrupted bliss. There

cannot be any language without words. You cannot draw a picture without a

canvas or a wall. You cannot write anything without paper. Even so, you

cannot have health and spiritual life without cel1bacy."
