Brahmcharya
The vow would not break if there were no weakness on your
part. That is how strong the power of my words is.
Until then, severely test yourself to see if the inner intent
is that of jagat kalyan, the salvation of the world, or is it to feed
the ego of your false pride? It is possible to find out everything
by testing your self. If this is being done to feed the pride and
the ego, that too will dissipate in time.
If only one pure man is around in this world, then he
alone is enough for the salvation of the entire world! For this,
total absorption in the Self is needed, and nothing but the Self
is asked for. Start by having a constant inner intent for salvation
of the world only for one hour and at times if the link breaks,
start all over again.
When can you do the highest good for the world? It is
easier when there is renunciation and the appearance of it. It is
more difficult when one presents the appearance of the married
Even for the latter it is possible, but only a few will benefit. The
public at large will not. Renunciation should be like ours, the
kind that is devoid of the ego. And this conduct, the attained
brahmacharya is a very big thing, of a very high level.
The constant awareness of ‘I am Shuddhatma’, ‘I am
pure Soul’, is the supreme brahmacharya. There is no other
bhramacharya like that. Yet if one wishes to achieve the stage
of an acharya, the level of an elevated spiritual master, then he
would need external brahmacharya, the kind the world
recognizes. Presence of a companion lady would not be accepted
there.
By just giving up abrahmacharya, the whole world
subsides effortlessly. By just following brahmacharya the whole
world ends, does it not? Otherwise, you can give up thousands
of things and yet not achieve anything.
