a) This means not only refraining from
sexual intercourse but also includes all pleasures associated with the
sense of touch, e.g. a cool breeze on a hot summers day or using a
cushion for a hard surface. Again this dharma is practised to keep our
desires in check. The monks practice this to the highest degree with all
their body, speech and mind. The householder refrains from sexual
intercourse with anyone except his or her spouse.
b) Brahmacharya is derived from the word
Brahma – Soul and charya – to dwell. Nischay Brahmacharya means to
dwell in your soul. Only by residing in the soul are you the master of
the Universe. Residing outside your soul makes you a slave to desires.
उक्त क्षमा आदि -आठ धर्म-साधन रूप धर्म होते हैं, जिनके अंगीकार करने पर
साध्य रूप धर्म-आकिंचन्य और ब्रह्मचर्य की उपलब्धि स्वयंमेव हो जाती है। जब
कोई साधक क्रोध, मान, माया, लोभ एवं पर-पदार्थों का त्याग आदि करते हैं और
इनसे जब उनका किंचित भी संबंध नहीं रहता तो, उनकी यह अवस्था स्वाभाविक
अवस्था कहलाती है। इसे ही ‘उत्तम आकिंचन्य धर्म’ कहा गया है। पर-पदार्थों
से संबंध टूट जाने से जीव का अपनी आत्मा (जिसे ब्रह्म कहा जाता है) में ही
रमण होने लगता है। इसे ही ‘उत्तम ब्रह्मचर्य धर्म’ कहा जाता है।
Supreme Celibacy – (Uttam Brahmacharya Dharma)
Brahmacharya means Celibacy;
This means not only refraining from sexual intercourse but also
includes all pleasures associated with the sense of touch, e.g. a cool
breeze on a hot summers day or using a cushion for a hard surface. Again
this dharma is practiced to keep our desires in check.
Brahmacharya is derived from the word Brahma – soul and charya to
dwell. Brahmacharya means to dwell in your soul. Only by residing in the
soul. Only by residing in the soul are you the master of the Universe.
Residing outside your soul makes you a slave to desires.
The great poet Reidhu explains the supreme virtue of celibacy or chastity (Explanation in English Only) :
1. A man should adopt the difficult to
perform superb vow of celibacy; and discard the lustful ambitions for
sexual pleasures. This living being is running amuck like an elephant
whose mind is always engrossed in thoughts of sexual gratification.
Therefore, O grand souls! Safeguard the vow of celibacy with a firm
mind.
2. Kam Deva – the god of love and sex,
as a rule takes birth in the soil of the unchaste mind. By its onslaught
the living beings perform improper deeds. They take delight in the
embrace of the disdain bodies of the ladies, and the fools fail to make
any distinction between their legally married wife and other’s wife.
3. The mean fellow, who breaks the vow
of celibacy ultimately goes to hell, and suffers untold miseries there.
Knowing this truth, one should observe the vow of celibacy in thought,
speech and action whole heartedly.
4. A living being is relieved from the
world by celibacy. All penances and vows are worthless without it. All
bodily tortures in the absence of celibacy are of no avail; such is the
opinion of Lord Jinendra.
5. Defend your soul from the outward
sensual pleasures derived through the sense of touch and maintain the
superb virtue of celibacy in the inner self – soul. The abode of
celibacy is attained through this plan.
6. Observe in a noble way the ten
supreme universal virtues, which have been glorified by the omniscient
Lord Jinendra and to which the holy monks pay homage and bow in
reverence.
