Renounce after realization not by suppression

The Parama Hansa Nityananda issue seems to have blown over. What surprises me is that people are still disturbed and shocked by these revelations.

It is biologically impossible for a male in prime not to feel the need for sexual gratification. What was possibly wrong was that this gentleman decided to wear the garb of a Sanyasi and attempt to control his senses. Renunciation cannot arise out of suppression. It arises out of realization of the futility of enjoyment. The correct method is to go through the experiential process of living and then realize the uselessness of the whole thing at the right age and then slowly "Urvaarukam iva" release oneself from these mortal coils.

What is also surprising is the Chief Minister's stand on the Morality front. This is the problem with Morals. They are temporal and changing. What is right for the CM cannot be wrong for the poor young "swami" and I suppose vice versa too. There is no true right or wrong in these things is my humble view.

Ethics as against Mo0rals are ageless Principles that arise from deep rooted value systems that are essentially Dharmic. Ethical people constantly adjust themselves to the true North and allign themselves with the Principle Centre. They can never err as they always act from the Centre.
