From the works of living enlightened master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip taken from discourse titled, " See Light Within", Swamiji tells us about the ego fulfillment that arises from acts such as celibacy. If these acts are a step towards enlightenment and it naturally happens during this path they are perfectly OK, but mostly they are used by humans to give them a strong ego fulfillment.

Oct 7, 2008 - I am all for women respecting men and that vedic response may have reduced but let us not ignore baby girls being murdered because their already poor parents cant afford the illegal dowry still in practice.Equality among men and women bring the balance back X

Oct 7, 2008 - Swamiji, the story where dhuriyodhana asking karna 'can I pick or you pick the beads' is widely known but when you tell, it makes much more sense as to what is the so called 'being non-judgemental'. Wonderful explanation.

Oct 7, 2008 - He seems to be very lukewarm/conflicted in his teaching about celibacy, just like so many eastern teachers who are trying to get a following in the west. You can't give too much encouragement towards celibacy, because it is very difficult. It seems to me that he gave bad advice to the fellow. The desire for celibacy in a man is very auspicious and should always be encouraged.

Oct 7, 2008 - These gurus should start giving the straight dope on celibacy, ASAP. The kali yuga cannot handle any more of this watered-down dharma.

Oct 7, 2008 - All he is doing is refraining from forcing an idea on someone. You cannot achieve something with substance if your intentions are ego based.

Oct 7, 2008 - He encourages us to be ourselves and to do what feels right for our personal path.
christyarndt Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - Using "always" can be dangerous. You cannont say what will be the right path for another person because it worked for you. Swamiji says the decision must be for the right reason. Don't force it upon yourself and don't force anything on others, please.

Oct 7, 2008 - I think i am on my way to enlightenment if not already there. I have simply not had the desire to make love to the beautiful woman i spend time with, not because i dont love her or in love with her, but because of what swami said. i am so full of bliss. people make love to create bliss. i dont need to it seems. HAHA i havent had any luck explaining that to this woman though. By questioning if you are enlightened? does that mean you are not enlightened?

Oct 7, 2008 - please elaborate what is the straight dope...
heituzi Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - nextari: the straight dope is that purity is everything. For people of all abilities, the moral compass must be pointed toward chastity. christy: I don't see any forcing going on. I want to help those who are interested. Those who have no interest in purity can just go on as they do.

Oct 7, 2008 - Deep Thoughts: what if one day there was a device that could scan everyone's body and soul to see how strongly they are inclined to good or evil? and what if they proved there was a god (the good force)? and they killed all the evil devil people (bad force)? would you still have a job then? awman i'm jusPlayin, i like these videos.
