Upon Seeing a Young Woman

Nirkhii ney navyauvana (Upon seeing a young woman) - Srimad Rajchandra
(Translation from Dadavani Jan'09)

While seeing a young woman
when the slightest vibration of a sexual impulse does not arise
Such a one who sees and counts her as a doll of wood
is the one who is indeed like a God (1)

Having renounced the queen of all that is
beautiful in this world
Is equivalent to renouncing all that is
the embodiment of grief (2)

By conquering sex
you have conquered the worldly life
Just as conquering the King you have
conquered the army, kingdom, and power (3)

To get absorbed and carried away
by the sprouting thought of sexuality
Is equivalent to losing control of all
awareness and knowledge after drinking a little wine (4)

The one who supports the purity of brahamacharya
with a sacred fence from all angles
His further lives before nirvana are minimal
This is a statement based on elemental knowledge, brother (5)

Shiyad means shilvaan.
Such a one, who is chaste and maintains the highest integrity
in thoughts speech and action
gets an excellent fruit(6)

Nothing can be contained without a vessel
and with the right vessel one can attain the Self
To become the vessel
nurture brahmacharya, oh wise ones. (7)

Dadashri: The one who sings this pada spiritual hymn will attain clarity of purity. You should sing this pada hymn, daily, twice everyday. If you triumph over sex then you have won the whole world, that is it! Thereafter go ahead and eat or drink what you like, nothing is going to hinder you. But whoever won this, wins the whole world. This is the only place where a human being gets trapped. Once you triumph over sexuality, you are the Emperor of the world! No karma will be bound-charged at all. Sexuality and sexual interaction through thoughts, speech or acts bind tremendous and horrible karma. Millions of living forms die in only one act of sexual intercourse. And one ends up with roonanubandha binding karmic ties, with all these subtle life forms jives. So if one triumphs over only this one thing: vishaya sex, then it is more than enough.

Nirkhii ney navyauvana
Lesha na vishaya nidaan
Ganey kaashta nii pootadii
Tey bhagawan samaan

Aa saghada sansar ni
Ramani nayak rupa
Ey tyagi tyagyoon badhoo
Kevel shoka swaroop

Ek vishaya ney jitatta
Jityo sau sansar
Nrupati jeetata jeetiye
Dara pura ney adhikaar

Vishaya rupa ankoor thii
Tadey gnan aney dhyan
Lesh madira paan thii
Chhakey jyum agnan

Jey navawaad vishuddha thii
Dharey shiyad sukdaayii
Bhuv teno luv pachhi rahe
Tattva vachan ey bhai

Sundar shiyaad surataru
Mun vani ney Deha
Jey nar nari Sevashey
Anupama fada ley 'teh

Paatra vina vastu na rahe
Paatrey atmik gnan
Paatra thhava sevo sada
Brahmacharya matimaan
