Query:
Can sensual
pleasure help become one with the infinite consciousness?
Vijay
Kumar:
Sensual pleasure
and infinite consciousness (related to spirituality) are absolutely different
domains. None can transgress the boundaries of the other. Sensual pleasure is
limited by the body... infinite consciousness is the domain of God Almighty. If
we desire merging with the bigger whole (God Almighty)... we need to travel the
spiritual path! No exceptions!
In
the spiritual domain God does not permit sensual pleasures, as they decrease our
virility. If we desire climbing Mount Everest ... we need to preserve all our
energies. No denying the fact that god permits sexual pleasure a maximum of two
times in a month. That is the end of it all. If we abstain and divert our energies
to the goal of life... Hopefully we can experience infinite consciousness within
this life! What even if we cover 99 per cent in this life and leave the mortal
frame!
The engine
of our spiritual life starts only at hundred... anything less won't do! What if
we near our goal... we do not know what body we manifest next. Sensual pleasures
are taboo in the spiritual realm... To reach the top of Empire State building
we need to catch the escalator (the lift), staircase won't do. We need to awaken
our kundalini, which requires a minimum of 14 years of absolute abstinence from
sensual pleasures. Only after full awakening of the kundalini do we hope to reach
the top... Never before! Buddha, Mahavira,
Jesus Christ
and Prophet
Mohammed (all man gods) practiced complete sexual abstinence for minimum
14 years... only then did they reach desired destination in life.
The
system was made by God... the path is difficult. For the serious seekers of Spirituality...
the inclination to merge with the whole is realized when we preserve our energies.
To catch the lift of life, reach the top in shortest possible time (gain Self
Realization aka enlightenment)... become a man god like Buddha, Mahavira, Jesus
Christ or prophet Mohammed... we need to abstain from sensual pleasures!
Every atman the soul
within is ever longing to merge with infinite consciousness, the domain of God
Almighty. Acharya Rajneesh (more popularly known as osho) practiced Spirituality
at its extreme yet failed in the last leg of his spiritual life. Why? For the
simple reason... he mixed Spirituality with sensual pleasures and sex. He committed
one mistake that cost him dearly.
There
was a time when Acharya Rajneesh had a fleet of about hundred Rolls Royce at his
command... all gifted to him by his wellwishers and followers world-wide mostly
in USA. Yet, when he fell from grace and was turned out of USA (rather thrown
out) he had no place to go, as no country in the world was willing to accept him.
It was only his motherland, India that came to his rescue. What a disgraceful
end of life for such a serious seeker of Spirituality!
Sex is just a sensual pleasure. I remember the day when I was quite ahead on the
path of spirituality. One day it so happened that when I went to a party I was
offered hard drinks. My advice to my friends fell on deaf ears. When I told my
friends that I was on cloud 9... They could not understand why I was feeling so
high. Even the best scotch whisky could not give me a boost I was experiencing
that day. Those were the days when most of the time I was in Nirvikalpa Samadhi
talking to God (on one-to-one basis). It was the highest peak I ever achieved
in my materialistic life.

Sensual
pleasure is not a permanent feature. Had it been so... the system of god would
have been different. God did not desire to engage us in matters non spiritual
while proceeding on the path of spirituality. We cannot simultaneously get the
best of both worlds... We need to sacrifice one to enter another. Materialistic
riches, sensual pleasures, fulfillment of wanton desires on one side and a bulldog
determination (like that of Winston Churchill) to achieve the desired goal of
spiritual life (merge with the infinite consciousness)... both cannot go together.
So is not the system of God... the prime reason why people in the west suffer
from insomnia. Even while possessing everything one could ever aspire for (in
the materialistic world)... people opt for the sleeping pill for a good nights'
sleep.
What
use of such materialistic achievements if we are not happy from within... the
feeling of bliss one encounters while proceeding on the path of spirituality can
never be expressed in words. Bliss is something that can only be experienced by
one who reaches the stage of nirvikalpa samadhi (the state of absolute nothingness).
This is possible only after taking absolute control of the senses... and the mind.
Practicing Neti (as advocated and practised by Maharishi Ramana)... one finally
reaches the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
A
stage when one desires to be alone... the time of reconciliation with God Almighty.
This is the time when our real self (our atman, the soul within) merges with the
whole (even though for short periods). Practicing sexual inhibition (controlled
sex) never helps... we still lose our virility. Whatever is lost is regained but
the monthly dose given by God Almighty is small. It forces us taking the longer
path (the staircase). If we truly desire to merge with infinite consciousness...
For a few moments of sensual pleasure we must not forsake our whole life!
No end of miseries... if we
indulge! To do or not to do... is the real essence of spiritual life!
We practice sexual pleasures while living family life. If we divert ourselves
towards more greener pastures... there is no end to the miseries we might face.
Extra marital sex is just not permitted in spiritual domain... not even once a
month. We need to feel contented with what we have... only if we truly desire
to merge with the infinite consciousness!
Acharya
Rajneesh practiced free sex... in the last leg of his life he preached what you
desire above... merging with infinite consciousness even while practising sensual
pleasures. He was wrong... controlled sex never takes one towards merging with
the whole. It is only a moments pleasure and everything is lost. You need to decide
what you truly desire first... to merge with the whole... or the sensual pleasures!
You cannot have the best of both the worlds. I have traveled this journey long
ago... I speak from experience. Things not permitted on the spiritual path are
just to be avoided. No liberties... no sensual thoughts... absolute concentration
on the goal. The desire to merge with absolute consciousness is possible when
we travel the spiritual path with only a single desire... a single goal!
You require 14 years
of sexual abstinence in continuation... you can have the best of your life right
now! Else enjoy life and after you exhaust self from materialistic pursuits and
wanton desires... travel the path of spirituality! It is up to you when you want
to enter the domain of infinite consciousness!
Here
I shall quote an example experienced by Buddha -
Gautama Buddha, the moment
he decided that the materialistic world was not for him... left his kingdom. Abandoning
his clothes (absolutely naked) he went to the dense forests (deep jungles)...
where even the fearless would fear to tread. He had a company of few pupils with
him. No one to guide... he tried his best to gain wisdom but failed. He returned
to the society and tried again. He could not but gain self realization. He suffered
a lot... it was only at the ripened age of 81 he gained enlightenment (Realized
God). The moment this happened he felt so happy that he left the mortal frame
immediately thereafter.
The prime reason why Gautama Buddha advocated the middle path! Neither in the
confines of the deep dense forests (jungles)... nor living in the society could
one gained enlightenment (Realize God). So he advocated the middle path. Without
having burnt our Karma (without having completed responsibilities of our manifested
form)... none could achieve the spiritual goal of ones life. We just cannot run
away from our responsibilities... we need to complete them first. Only then can
we venture into the jungles (forests) in search of spiritual solace and wisdom.
Gautama Buddha left
his wife and children in sleep... he left for the confines of the jungles without
having burnt his Karma. It was all a big mistake on the part of his father yet,
he blamed none. For many years his wife tried to regain him back to family fold...
she failed. She failed to realize that those who travel the spiritual path with
a zeal and determination never look back. The determination in Gautama Buddha
had so firmed up in earlier years of his life... getting him back to family fold
was just impossible. Even the sight of his child did not deter Gautama Buddha
from the spiritual goal he had fixed in life.
Gautama Buddha lived a life of great sufferings... he tormented himself to the
extreme in order to learn the inner truths hidden in the sacred Scriptures of
the world. In his time he did not have a Guru to guide him... he had to find his
own path. He eventually did but after a long span of sufferings.

Vijay,
what say you of sensual pleasure? Does right concentration applied to sexual pleasure
outside of marriage harm an adept striving to become whole, at one with the infinite
consciousness?
