Description

Acharya Prashant explains that every human action, including repression, is a form of expression that reflects the quality of the mind. He argues that civilization itself is often an exercise in repression, affecting not just sexuality but all emotions like anger and fear. He suggests that sexuality should neither be feared nor celebrated as something extraordinary; in a healthy state of being, everything is seen as ordinary and integrated. He emphasizes that focusing on sexuality as a separate issue is misleading because it is interlinked with other human disorders such as possessiveness, greed, and ambition. To solve one problem, one must address the root of all mental sickness, as all aspects of human disorder move together.
