Sexuality and Self-Control
Inspiring Talks and Classes by Swami Kriyananda, Episode 14
Chapter 1, Stanza 6
We have enormous power but may waste it. For mental clarity, health in body and mind as the Bhagavad Gita recommends, learn to control the life force and sexual impulse. Swami says that just as the Native Americans have rites of passage for their young, all young people should be taught the importance of using the life force wisely once they reach adulthood. Young people should learn the dignity of becoming adults and about the responsibility they have to their bodies and to society to be a clear channels of physical and spiritual power.
