Questioner: Good evening sir. Can you hear me?
Acharya Prashant: Yes.
Questioner: Sir, why is religion so obsessed with sex? In the sense that the normal kind of religious people who are socially respectable, all that they have in their mind regarding religion contains a lot of sexual connotations. So for example, they'll keep saying that abstain from the other gender and practice celibacy. Instead of talking about core scriptures, I find them talking of women. Don't do this to women. Don't look at women. Don't talk to women. Don't have relationships with women.
Now, I'm not saying that men should have a lot of sexual relationships. No, that is not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that instead of focusing on scriptures and knowledge and the removal of one's own inner ignorance, why are the social and moral and religious people talking so much of sex and women? Thank you.
