I have very little knowledge about Judaic religions. However, I will be giving some exmples regarding the state of Sensual pleasure in Hindu and Buddhist practices. Geeta is considered to be the core of Hindu practices. In Sanskrit, Sense organs are called इन्द्रिय। Geeta condemns the sensual pleasures like this: इन्द्रियाणि प्रमाथिनि हरन्ति प्रसभं मन। -गीता यि इन्द्रियहरु उध्योगरत बुद्दिमानहरुको मनपनि बलत्कार गर्न सक्षम हुन्छन। The sense organs are capable to destroy even the mind of wise and diligent. इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतं यन्मनोनु बिधियते! तदश्य हरति प्रज्ञं, वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि।। -गीता तुफानले डुङगाको जुन हालत गर्छ, कुनै एउटामात्र इन्द्रियले खुला छुट पाएमा ज्ञानको त्यहि हालत गरिदिन्छ। As the hurricane destroys a boat, even so, a unguarded sense organ destroy the wisdom. This verse of Geeta encourage to restrain the sense organs. यदा संहरते चायं कुर्मोङगानिव शर्बश। इन्द्रियाणिन्द्रियाथेभ्य, तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता।।- गीता जसरी कछुआले आफ्नो सरिरका सारा अङगहरुलाई आफ्नो कबच भित्र लुकाएर सुरक्षित गर्छ, त्यसरी ज्ञानीले आफ्ना इन्द्रियहरुलाई सुरक्षित राख्छन। As the tortoise keep its body safe inside the shell, even so, a wise keeps his sense organs safe and protected. What does Buddha say about the sensual pleasure? काम सुखं, मिडह सुखं, पुथुजन सुखं, अनरिय सुखं, न आसेबितब्बं, न भावि तब्बं, न बहुलिका तब्बं, भायी तब्बं यतस्स सुखस्स च बदामी। - भगवान बुद्द Sensual pleasure is a gross pleasure; it is only for dumb; it is only for fools. Never enjoy it, never practice it, and never try to increase it. Always be fearful of it. In praise of restraining the sense organs: चक्खुना संवरो साधु, साधु सोतेना सम्बरो। घानेना संबरो साधु, साधु जिब्बाया सम्बरो।। It is good to restrain eyes; it is good to restrain ears. It is good to restrain nose; it is good to restrain tong. कायना सम्बरो साधु, साधु बाचाय सम्बरो। मनसा सम्बरो साधु, साधु सब्बत्थ सम्बरो।। It is good to restrain body; it is good to restrain speech. It is good to restrain mind; restrain of all of these is excellent. This is the teaching of Buddha. This is the teaching of Yogis. This is the core of Dharma. Refrain from rejoicing sensual pleasures is the real teaching of enlightened one. Contd...
