'When you have the awareness of being a soul, the value of 'who you are' is based on the intrinsic spiritual qualities of purity, peace, love, joy and wisdom. Your whole way of relating to others naturally changes as a consquence.'

Bhramacharya
Bhramacharya
Brahmacharya is a concept in Indian religions which represents the virtue of celibacy when unmarried. It represents a virtuous lifestyle that also includes simple living and meditation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrahmacharyaProfessor Rajmohan Gandhi, the Grandson of Mahatma Ghandi spoke about his Grandfather:
'Ghandi's deep belief was that purity was related to effectiveness, power, usefulness, achieving greatness and liberation.'
Ghandi writing in Young India, 5 Jun 1924
A friend asks : 'What is Brahmacharya ? Is it possible to practise it to perfection? If possible, do you do so ?'
The full and proper meaning of Brahmacharya is search of Brahman. Brahman pervades every being and can therefore be searched by diving into and realizing the inner self. This realization is impossible without complete control of the senses. Brahmacharya thus means control in thought, word and action of all the senses at all times and in all places.
A man or woman completely practising Brahmacharya is absolutely free from passion. Such a one therefore lives nigh unto God, is Godlike. I have no doubt that it is possible to practise such Brahmacharya in thought, word and action to the fullest extent.
