Humans lose their human-ness with abrahmacharya. The world
does not understand what sex is. Millions of lives die in only
one act of sexthrough the loss of millions of living sperms. This
is tremendous violence. Not realizing this, people believe sexual
act to be the highest pleasure. They do not understand that a
life is precious and must not be lost except as a last resort. But
what happens when there is no understanding?
You have acquired my thermometer now. This is the
instrument by which you are to proceed. Fever for both.
Otherwise not. That is why I say that I have liberated you even
though you have a wife. No one has made this, so simple for
you. A very simple andstraightforward path has been given to
you. It is up to you to make the fullest use of it for your good.
It is extremely simple. This has never happened before. This is
the pure path, acceptable to the Lord.
Questioner : If the wife has no desire, no fever, what
should she do if she has to take the ‘medicine’ given to her by
force by her husband?
Dadashri : What can she do? Who asked her to get
married?
Questioner : The fault is of the sufferer, accepted. But
please Dada, please show me a way, and show me some way
out of sex, by pratikraman, or something like that.
Dadashri : Only through making him understand that
Dada has said this is not something that you can keep taking.
Why don’t we take this medicine six to eight times a month?
The problem with the file will be settled with equanimity if your
mind and body remains healthy.
Therefore, in Akram Vignan, sexual relation with your
wife is considered brahmacharya. But this has to be with
discriminative understanding and your all inclinations and impulses
