Brahmcharya
Dadashri : One practiced after getting married is higher
but it is very difficult to do so. We have so many married
people practicing brahmacharya, but they are all in their forties.

If you eat a fruit but eat with repentance, then new seed
would not be sown and if you eat with pleasure that, ‘Yes,
today I really enjoyed myself’, then new seed would be sown.
Otherwise this brahmacharya will slack off if you relax
even a little. Therefore do not relax, remain strict. ‘I do not
