According to the Vedic principle, the Vedas, the original holy scriptures also called “the true gospel”, we must avoid all sexual activity, because it is important to achieve freedom from the hold of matter in which we are all imprisoned.
Of the different attachments to material pleasures, the attachment to sex life is the strongest. Man is attached to woman and woman to man, and this not only in human society, but also in the animal kingdom. This attachment is the fundamental principle of material life. The woman seeks the companionship of the man, and the man seeks the companionship of the woman.
Attachment is inherent in being. According to the spiritual principle, the sexual act is reserved for married couples only, because it has only one function, procreation, and must in no case serve to stir up the pleasure of the senses.
If we want to free ourselves from this material world and break the chains that hold us prisoner of matter, we have to nullify this attachment, otherwise it will only keep growing and we will have to be reborn again and again, either as a celestial being, either as a human being, or as an animal. This fundamental principle of always increasing one's attachments is the general trend, but not that of faithful servants of God. The ideal is to reduce these attachments until they no longer have any at all.
Happy chaste single people.
Logos 357
The real purpose of life is to know God as He really is.
The ultimate purpose of existence is to know God, to know him as He really is, and to return to our true home, which is in the kingdom of the Supreme Lord. We came from God, and now we are embarrassed by material existence. So our goal should be to get out of this awkward situation and return home “home”, to return to God. This is the real purpose of life.
The Lord said: After having reached Me, great souls, the transcendentals consecrated to devotion, never return to this temporary world full of suffering, for they have reached the most high perfection.
The Lord tells us that if someone comes to Him, he does not have to return to the material universe, to this material world full of suffering. Everyone knows it, but gets duped by so-called leaders and spiritual masters of junk.
Material life is a life of misery. Krishna, God, the Supreme Person says that this place is a place of pain, and it is also temporary, because its duration is limited. You can't compromise, like: “Okay, too bad if it's a place of pain, I'll stay here as an American, European, African, Asian, or whatever. other”.
