Is the divine perversely mischievous?
____________________________
Sri Sri: If you dont indulge in anything, its ok. But indulging makes you weak. Look at the people in the sex industry, they look so sad. Enlightenment is when you find all these things are petty. You are joy, you are love. Don't blame sex, food etc.
Moderation is the law. With your own intensity you get feverish. There is a story about Shona (Buddha's disciple). He was a prince. He indulged in sex and he got so tired. He asked his girlfriend to remove her bangles as the sound was bothering him so much.
He was so fragile that the bangles sound could disturb him. Then he met Buddha. Meeting Buddha made all other pleasures insignificant. He wanted to become like Buddha. So he became a monk.
Nobody could believe it. He went into deep penance. Fasted and didnt wear proper clothes. After some months, someone told Buddha about him. Buddha went to him and told him. *You've played the Veena. If the strings are too tight, then there is no music, similarly if the strings are too loose then also there is no music. Tuning is important.
Same in life. You are going from one extreme to another. Be on the middle path.' So Eat, sleep, have sex,meditate in moderation
