Sex for progeny -A natural plan
The sexual degradation that has overtaken mankind today is directly due to the fact that people have assumed that there is a natural "sexual instinct" in human beings. It is not so. The natural instinct is the procreative one. The Mother Nature has bestowed the power of reproduction to all the creatures (flora and fauna) for continuation of the race. Sex is not an entertainment. If a man leads a life of celibacy even in householder's life and has copulation for the sake of progeny only, he can bring forth healthy, intelligent, strong, beautiful and self-sacrificing children. Higher forms of animals do have the sex impulse, but it becomes active only during the mating season; and thus they maintain health. Man, with his boasted intellect, has to learn lessons from birds and animals. Even animals have more self-control than men. It is only the so-called man who has degraded himself much by indulgence. At the heat of sexual excitement, he repeats the same ignoble act again and again. Man only violates the laws of nature and consequently suffers from innumerable diseases. He has degenerated to a level far lower than that of animals in this respect.
आहारनिद्राभयमैथुनं च सामान्यमेतत्पशुभिर्नराणाम् |
Food, sleep, fear and copulation are common to both animals and men. That which differentiates a man from an animal is Dharma, faculty of discrimination. Viveka and Vichara Shakti can be secured by the preservation of Virya. You had enough of sense and sex gratification in all your previous bodies of various animals. Human life is not meant for satisfaction of lower appetites of sex and tongue. It is meant for higher purpose. If we do not cultivate discrimination and intelligence and go on gratifying sexual desires without restraint, how can we attain the higher goal of Self-realisation?
