I was closely following this thread last year but I wasn't aware of its new developments. I'm glad to see many more participants engaging in positive discussion. Indeed, this thread has invaluable information – thanks to Vishontar ji. From my own experience, I know it's very important to refrain from sexual misconduct. Because of peer pressure I once committed this sin. I got married and as Vishontar ji said above, I wanted to be honest with my life partner. One day I told her my side of the story. Besides being honest with my wife, I wanted the monkey off of my head. Before I finished my story, she started to laugh. She wouldn't believe that I did it. She doesn't believe that I could walk to a girl that I like and ask for a date – forget about getting laid. She is right that it wouldn't have happened had I not have a couple of drinks before that. She thinks that I'm bragging and it hurts me more. Now, I wish I didn't do it. We tend to indulge in sexual activities thinking that it gives us pleasure and happiness. It is necessary, as Vishontar ji said, to follow the path of true happiness. Again, we have to be realistic – not everyone will follow this path. All of us have different state of minds. Those who have very sensitive minds will immediately correct their wrong paths whereas people with gross mind will continue to live in ignorance. Our minds have to be aware of subtlest realities to understand the true nature of happiness. Seeing four signs (old, sick, dead, and a yogi) has inspired Siddhartha Gautam to become the Buddha. All of us have seen those signs and they don't strike us. Another example – some of us are enjoying fighting each other and destroying the property of our nation in different names. Why? Because of the different state of our minds. Why are we different? I watched 'Urja' a ZeeTV program of Acharya SN Goenka today. He gave an example of twin brothers – who are raised by the same family in the same environment, given the same education – yet they have completely different characters. He said it is so because their life didn't start here. It has been flowing for many lives and that gives different results to the present. However, we can change our future if we learn to become master of our present. We are all different – that's the beauty of our lives. We should not see outside to generalize whether any action is good or not. Instead, we should see our inner self and purify our minds. Truth is truth for all.
