Regarding Celibacy and Renounciation!!

[Guest guest]

Hello!!

 

I am a new entrant in this group.I went through your

earlier messages and found them really informative and

valuable.I came across the discussion of Celibacy in

the first few messages.Sorry to raise the topic again

now.I just need some clarifications.

 

The importance of celibacy in one's spitritual

progress is never undermined.But, I just feel that if

every human in this world begins to feel that he/she

has to be celibate to realize God, then there shall be

no continuance of humanity.I being a science student

beleive that anything ideal must be the best and also

the most favoured.But here we see that although our

goal of realizing God by being celibates is noble, but

its consequences of wiping out the whole human race is

dreadful.Is this a liberation since no human would not

be born again there being no births at all?

 

Also renouncing the world has been frequently touched

upon.Given that every human renounces the world and

starts contemplating on God. Then the whole life of

human activity comes to a standstill.There shall be no

farmers,pilots,scientists,doctors and so on....So we

then go back to our early stages of human development

in the pre-historic times where men used to roam

naked, hunting animals,eating fruits and meditating.So

our whole world then would be devoid of all modern

amenities.Its hard to think about that world now as we

are totally engulfed in this present world with all

facilities.Can human beings survive in that way??Is

then human evolution a digression from spiritual

path??

 

Or is this notion of realization of God is inherent

with a premise that all humans would not take for the

path of celibacy and renounciation.If it is so, then

are all spiritualists(who renounced the world but are

dependent on others for food,clothing,housing etc..

)not playing a safe game, taking advantage of the

masses who dont take spirituality and are busy toiling

hard to serve humanity(eg. farmers, masons, workers

etc.) although its for their own living?

 

Please enlighten me about these doubts.

 

Thanks,

Srikanth.
