The Eternal Supreme says: “The mind may be the friend of the conditioned soul, as it may be its enemy. Man must use it to rise, not to degrade”.

Concupiscence is at the origin of the perpetuation of reincarnation. It pushes the incarnate soul to endure tirelessly the cycle of death and repetitive rebirth, activated by the pleasure of the senses that must be preserved.

It is the sexual act that is at the origin of the perpetuation of conditioned existence in this material world.

The spiritual world, which represents three-quarters of the Lord’s energy, extends beyond the material universe. It is especially intended for those who must never again be reborn or return to the material universe.

However, those who remain attached to family life and who do not strictly respect the vows of celibacy, must remain in the material universe.

The highest benefit that can be conferred on the human being consists in instructing him in such a way that he detaches himself from the sexual life, for it is the latter alone that perpetuates, life after life, the existence conditioned in matter, holding the soul prisoner of a material body.

It is necessary to consider as degraded the civilization which does not advocate any sexual restriction because it creates a climate in which it will be impossible for the soul to escape the prison that represents the material body. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the very nature of the body of matter, and are opposed to the very nature of the spiritual soul. But as long as the attraction for the pleasure of the senses is nourished, the distinct soul is forced to perpetuate the cycle of death and successive births or reincarnations on behalf of the material body: a simple garment subject to the laws of wear and tear.

What, even against his will, impels man to sin, as if he were compelled to do so?

In contact with matter, the soul engages without hesitation in all kinds of sinful activities, often against its will. She is forced to make mistakes without having desired it.
