Trapped in the Whirlpool of Sexuality Through Societal Influence (Hindi Dadavani January-2015)

Sex and sexuality are indeed the foundational root for the entire worldly life. In this era of the time cycle, the entire world has believed that pleasure to be the highest pleasure. But in reality, that is indeed an illusion (bhranti).Loksangnya (societal influence) is a very simple, straightforward word, but in a very deceptive way, it throws one off track. Societal beliefs flash in every facet of our lives, and we choose directions based on the compass of societal influence. That is enormously perilous. If we were to understand the nature of sexuality through the perspective of the Gnani Purush, then we would disengage from the murchhit (a state of unawareness arising from illusory attachment) pleasure of sexuality, and move towards the eternal bliss of the Self. Akram Vignan shows the true nature and consequences of sexuality and gives the right understanding of the belief of happiness in sexuality, opinions based on societal influence, and how to come out of it.
