Purity and Liberation from body consciousness

Someone asked about the relevance of celibacy and why someone would miss out on such an opportunity for intimacy...

Celibacy is a choice. Its not a matter of suppression or repression. Its not a compulsion. Its a natural choice when one considers the alternatives that exist.

Shared some thoughts on the liberating experience when one does not have to look at others as a body any more... when one does not have to consider others as objects... and classify them by gender, race, country, culture etc... it is so liberating... it frees one from all the problems

True intimacy, true love has no connection with physical activity. It is understanding the other's personality and appreciating the virtues and qualities in the other... it is also caring for the other's happiness in an unconditional manner... true love liberates the other... while when attraction/attachment is at the physical level, there is much possessiveness and consequent jealousy etc.

And yes, why should one be locked down to one individual and be tied to their goods and bads... why not love all and appreciate everyone from the heart... why the restriction... the spirit within is so beautiful...

Anyway, good that people get it when explained...

Purity is freedom. Purity is truth. Purity is genuineness. Purity is being yourself. Purity is generosity. Purity is the mother of peace and happiness. Purity is royalty. Purity is everything!
