The highest benefit that can be conferred on man consists in educating him so that he detaches himself from sexual life, because it is she alone who perpetuates, life after life, the existence conditioned in the material. Civilization which does not advocate any sexual restriction must be considered degraded because it thus creates a climate in which it will be impossible for the soul to escape from the confinement of the material body. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the property of the body of matter, and oppose 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 deaths and successive rebirths on behalf of the material body: a simple garment subject to the laws of usury.

The institution of social divisions gives man the highest benefits by educating him from childhood by a vow of continence. The order of celibacy, continence and the study of spiritual knowledge is intended for disciples who are instructed in the observance of a rigorous continence. Those who have adopted this phase of celibacy and continence from a very young age, when they have no attraction for sex life, will have no difficulty in respecting their wish; thus established on this path, they will reach the highest perfection, that of accessing the kingdom where three-quarters of the Lord's energy predominates, and where one finds neither death nor fear, but a blissful existence, all of knowledge and eternity. Those who are attached to family life will easily renounce sexual activity if they have been educated according to these precepts. The head of the household is advised to leave their home when they reach their fifties and go and live as a hermit. Then, when he is completely detached from the affection for the members of his family, he then embraces the order of renunciation to work fully in the service of the Lord. Any religious teaching in which the faithful is trained to make a vow of continence is beneficial, because only those who receive such education can put an end to this sad material existence.

Family people and those who have deliberately broken the vow of continence will not have access to the realm of immortality. Righteous heads of families, fallen spiritualists can be raised to the upper planets of the material galaxy, which accounts for a quarter of the total manifestation, but, let us repeat, they will not be able to reach the kingdom of immortality. The spiritualist who breaks the vow of continence can redeem himself by taking another human form within the virtuous family of a wise spiritual guide or rich merchants, and thus hope to rise again, but it is better to reach the highest perfection, or immortality, as soon as the human form is obtained; otherwise, the entire mission that is devolved to man will be a complete failure. For the spiritualist who aspires a little bit to rise above the material sufferings, it is less serious to commit suicide than to give up voluntarily in the sexual life, especially for
