Spirituality and Family LifeTraveling the spiritual path... one simply cannot maintain a relationship that involves love and sex. A relationship between people of opposite sex demands sensuality which is never forthcoming because of the spirituality involved. The path of spirituality demands practice of absolute celibacy (Brahmacharya)... something that is tough to practice in real life! Between the spiritual path and the relationship... we definitely need to choose one! If we do not do that... we fall in the same line as that of Siddhartha Gautama... who in the initial stages of spiritual practice left home without burning his karma in entirety. The result... Siddhartha Gautama for many years... rather decades kept wandering with no results in sight!
For a serious seeker of spirituality... burning karma in totality is essential! This includes every form of relationship whatsoever. Walking the spiritual path and maintaining a relationship are two banks of the same river that never meet come whatever may! On the path of spirituality we simply cannot remain hopeful... it is a matter of yes or no! No girl or woman on Mother Earth can ever understand the true meaning of spirituality or the inclinations of a spiritual seeker. She was never made for that. God Almighty meant it so! God Almighty imbibed in woman folk the attribute of bondage (Moha in Hinduism) that was necessary for family life to survive on Mother Earth. The presence of bondage (Moha) in women folk is so strong that no girl or woman can ever escape from the clutches of bondage (Moha). And what is this attribute of bondage (Moha)? It is bondage Moha that takes care of family ties! The strong feeling of motherhood in women tears apart the spirituality in the strongest contenders of spiritual path! It is this bondage in women folk that keeps the family going even in toughest of circumstances. Survival even in all odds becomes possible with the presence of bondage Moha in women! If a woman finds a child (not belonging to her) weeping on the road... the attribute of bondage imbibed within her makes her act like a Mother to the child! It is this bondage Moha that asks for a special meaning in relationships! Spirituality dissuades one from the sensual part of life! To maintain a balance between the two was not possible for Buddha... how can a commoner expect to overcome this difficult task! One simply has to choose between the two! Spirituality or relationship... there is no other solution! Essay
