[Shashikant]

I am not Christian. I am Hindu. As per my religion, the greatest sin is to call someone a sinner. As regards masturbation, we have enough proof from Yoga, etc. that this act only strenghthens the impulsive nature of a person. The whole of our culture is based on restraint, chastity and sacrifice. Self-control is the highest ideal for us, and meditation is one of the ways for doing this. Masturbation happens to be an act, in 90 percent of cases, that is a response to some craving for immediate satisfaction. This in the long run, as per my experience, only weakens a person. Biologists will not admit this fact, but a person who regularly masturbates only has to try not to think of sex thoughts or masturbation for a month or a week to realize what he/she is up against. It’s nothing short of addiction in some cases I have seen. So it’s not something someone should be guilty about, but we must realize that we have been given a chance to perfect ourselves in this human form and hence must struggle intensely for self-control. Masturbation happens to be a great impediment. Only a person who has gained control over these animal impulses completely can understand the power that flows through him. All that ‘unstoppable’ energy can be redirected somewhere else for stunning results.

I am amazed to find, even today, millions who would do ‘good things’ and ‘not commit sin’ to enter heaven. Lets see. People do bad things because they want something that they don’t get. Desire is the root of all evil. What is the point of thirsting after heaven? Trying to get to heaven deperately is as bad as trying to get into a brothel. I am not Christian but I have studies the Bible and the fundamental fact that stands out it is that it is your own craving that you have to overcome. If, after all that self-abnegation, you end up in a place where you can enjoy the same wine women and song, why not enjoy it here itself? Its high time humans stopped ‘wishing’ for a world beyond where all is pleasure and no pain. God is beyond both pleasure and pain and is limitless. It is quite stupid to ascribe human qualities to God an lower Him. Who are we to decide what His divine nature is? The second point is simple. The Bible is written by Humans as with every other religious book. God does not need words to reveal His nature to us. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa used to say ‘The scriptures are a mixture of sand and sugar. We must be like ants. Take the sugar and leave the sand.’ So use your descrimination and be sure that not everything written in these sacred texts is to be followed literally. Follow only that which gives you Freedom, Strength, Purity. Reject all suggestion of slavery, weakness and filth. If God gave you a Bible, he also gave you a brain to understand it properly. So throw away all this nonsense about heaven and earth and spend your life in the service of God in man. BTW, you should read ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ by Paramahamsa Yogananda and Swami Vivekananda’s ‘Karma Yoga’.
