CAN ANY ONE CONTRIBUTE MORE TO A CAUSE BY REMAINING CELIBATE

[kanika]

Don't u think that right marriage may provide emotional and moral
support to any devotee of BM.
People who don't marry are more likely to become morally corrupt e.g
many saints and shankaracharyas.
Many people taking vow of celibacy may create an atmosphere of PEER
PRESSURE on many other people(not equal to such sacrifice) who may do
the same just to follow a good example only to crack in the end
bringing shame to themselves and the party.

I sincerely respect such vows and full faith in such people,but to keep
the magic of it alive I'll lik to suggest that such bhishmapratigyas
should not be made public.It should be kept in the heart to do it full
justice.
Otherwise I m afraid that we are going to miss such people who can do
any great sacrifice instinctively,in a crowd of followers.

PEER PRESSURE-it is a kind of pressure felt by a person in a group
when he/she tries to adopt and digest the ways of that group.
The new comer tries to become equal to other people by mindless
adoration and adoptation.It works more on idolescent or fickle minded
people.
The person trying to do the best done forgets his mental and emotional
limits
and end in either self gratification or depression.

As far as I know ,there r many kids willing to join,who might willingly
make any such vow and then feel to embarassed to turn it down.

If u r real serious abt making it all a success then I suggest u read
psychology.

Hi Friends,

I agree with the points raised by Kanika. We should not create an
atmosphere where celibacy is made superior.

I sincerely believe that celibacy is a very challenging thing, it has
its importance and gives more time to an individual to do service.

ON the other hand, I believe that marriage leads to balance in life So
I believe that celibacy/non-celibacy should be a personal choice, and
so celibacy need not have to be promoted in BM.

Regards,
Kiran

Hi,

 

I don't think BM is promoting celibacy. At least I haven't felt so. So your fears are far fetched.

I am not in favor of taking any vow following footsteps of others and I consider it immoral to influence others to take a vow.

However, celibacy could be a conscious decision, an experiment, for those who are willing.

We have very wrong notions of morality. There are one thousand and one ways to declare that a person is morally corrupt. Let us redefine morality beyond one's sexual behavior.

If a celibate relinquish his decision of celibacy, I don't think one is morally corrupt unless he/she embraces hypocrisy.

 

With Regards,

Ranjan

I never said BM is promoting celibecy,but I said that it might heat up
fickle minded people,I just meant that if it is kept a secret,than
it'll really b able to show its good effects in full bloom,making
better example.
