THE WIFE SHALL REMAIN FAITHFUL TOWARDS HER HUSBAND AND VICE VERSA

It is very important that a husband and wife harbor respect and sacred vision towards each other. Thus there shall ensue, soul advancement, social progress, happiness and peace. Those taking a vow of celibacy and those who remain unmarried must harbor a pure pious viewpoint towards all males and females. A lewd lustful outlook can mar relations between people. Harboring sanctity in thought, word and deed obstructs any form of destruction in our lives. A woman can be said to be a true chaste creature in the world. In the form of a mother she has manifested in this world with unbound affection. She has established herself as an image of surrender, self sacrifice, love and charitable disposition. As a sister she is akin to a Goddess endowed with love, magnanimity and affection. As a daughter she renders this arid world serene full of gentleness, softness, straightforwardness and shuns all forms of slyness. The Lord has filled her with an infinite storehouse of truth, prosperity and beauty. Divine light drips from her very eyes. Even if 1 ray of this light enters the soul of a hard hearted person his wilted soul shall bloom forth fragrantly. It is women who get the credit for rendering the weak and challenged energized and powerful. She converts inertness into inspiration, sentiments and vigor into sacred consciousness etc. In her presence the fate of an ordinary person radiates greatly. Women are known to experience self satisfaction and calm contentment. The importance of women can be compared to blazing fire. Fire the very fount of our lives and in its absence we are rendered lifeless and devoid of vitality. No amount of eulogies can fully describe the greatness of women the world over. Despite all this fire is known to burn too. Similarly if she is looked upon lustily she shall raise her hood akin to a venomous black cobra. Amongst her innumerable glorious qualities there is a quality of hers that gives pain and that is her sexually alluring nature. If she is looked at or touched amorously or lustily she manifests her fangs of anger and bites that lustful person. A crab appears beautiful to look at but if we touch it, it bites us painfully and injects its poison in us. The honeybee is so benevolent. This bee hums in a buzzing manner. A spider walks about with colorful legs. A was sitting on the roof appears attractive. Yet if we dare touch any of these creatures they attack us painfully. In the form of sexual passion a small packet of venom is hidden within women and hence we must save ourselves from this dagger even if it is made of 24 carat gold. Apart from your wife by looking upon a woman elder to you as your mother, one of same age as your sister and one younger than you as a daughter, one should bloom these sentiments more and more so that we attain joy and bliss akin to the affection we experience while sitting at the hallowed feet of Goddesses Saraswati, Lakshmi and Durga. We Gayatri devotees look upon a woman’s form as the most sacred stupendous image of Almighty God. The philosophic basis of our devotion is to look upon the Lord’s infinite compassion, sanctity and magnanimity in women’s pure soul. This should be our hallowed vision not only during times of daily worship but in every moment of our day to day transactions. We should look at women in a pure hearted manner and never visualize or touch her lustily. If one wishes to sire children the husband wife duo can undergo a shadow of sexual passion and a little lust if it is beyond our control. In great scriptures even a bit of lust is disallowed and the act of sowing a sperm in the wife’s womb is looked upon as a sacred rite like thread/hair cutting ceremony and hence our sexual union too should be full of sacred spiritual sentiments. But today after studying man’s inherent weakness a little bit of lust is permitted in one’s married life. Apart from this outside the periphery of our marital relationship we must treat other males/females as our brothers and sisters. The aim of true marriage is to render the souls of husband-wife as one which means 2 bodies but one soul. They must shoulder the burden of life as faithful partners and discourage each other from executing sinful activities. We have demeaned the piously pure image of women via lewd movies, indecent literature and fallen intellect and thus rendered her lewd and sexually amorous. It is certainly insulting the greatness of world women by dubbing her lewd and lustful which is akin to robbing a stone image of God from a temple and using it to hit and harass people. Such a despicable standpoint is not only demeaning and hateful, but that it is dire and strife inducing. Such undesirable thinking has to be nullified from our psyche and society at large and reestablish that image of women which glorifies whole of mankind. In the above lines we have depicted the standpoint of man with reference to a woman. Thus we can also give the type of standpoint a woman should harbor towards a male. As far as the designing of the genital organs is concerned there does exist a minor difference between those of males and females. Yet from the standpoint of skills, intellect and sentiments both men and women are equal. No doubt both possess specialties and a few imperfections yet they cooperate with each other to attain self fulfillment. Husband and wife should not be dependent on each other merely to satiate their sexual urge. If both the husband and wife harbor purity, sanctity, dutifulness, respect and loving affection towards each other a sacred relationship with firm foundation can be developed as is between mother-daughter, father-son and so on. In the realm of sacredness infinite power dwells that cannot be experienced at all in hell like conditions of impurity. True love and lust are as different as heaven and hell. In lewd sexual lust exist hatred, jealousy, bossing, narrowness, selfishness, uncontrolled passion, superficial beauty, trouble, despair, grief, downfall, decline, criticism etc but yet true love is beyond all this negativity. In sanctity dwells self sacrifice, generosity, magnanimity, well being, oneness of soul and peace and no negativity can even dare touch this realm. In the Yug Nirman Satsankalpa or oath there exist pious sentiments like oneness of soul with all creatures, looking upon wealth of others as mud (so that one does not loot it), looking upon other people’s wife as one’s mother etc and on this basis only can we usher in a New Era. By adhering to this we can materialize the dream of heralding heaven on earth that shall be a fact and not a mere fantasy.
