Q: Is brahmacharya necessary if one is seeking Self realisation?
Help each other on the path as friends. If there is any sexual desire you will lose some spiritual power. Even if you just look at someone and feel some desire towards them, you lose a little spiritual energy. In a family situation there are always strong attachments. The husband will give a lot of love to his wife and vice versa. Both will give a lot of love to the children. If you are serious about sadhana, remain unmarried and put all your energy into self enquiry. You cannot hold onto the Self while you still have strong attachments to other people.
