When duality is lost, so is the drive?



D. How will the sexual impulse cease to be?

M. When differentiation ceases.

D. How can it be effected?

M. The “opposite” sex, and its relation are only mental concepts. The Upanishad says that all are dear because the Self is beloved of all. One’s happiness is within; the love is of the Self only. It is only within; do not think it to be without. Then differentiation ceases to operate.
