In the individual field, the system took care of educating us within an implacable scheme, which cannot be broken without guilt or the feeling of contradicting the moral concepts that govern us.
From religion, education, and jurisprudence they took care of burdening us with a baggage of concepts that affect our behavior, but, above all, our sexuality.
Well, how not to fail in the face of an impulse as basic and instinctive as that of reproduction, when, in addition, it constitutes one of the most effective palliatives to face the levels of stress to which we are subjected on a daily basis and which, on the other hand, is encouraged from media propaganda based on sensuality.
Such are the family, moral, marriage contracts and atavisms related to due fidelity, the sense of ownership (over land and people), what should and should not be done, etc. which are violated all the time by reality and which are almost never based on flexible ideas, but rather on strict conduct and the implacable judgment of society.
It is curious to observe that, outside of Western culture, in the environment of Vedic literature, sexuality, for example, is treated as a sacred act.
Because in the realm of Western prohibitions, we fall into the extremes of promiscuity or chastity at all costs, when neither is natural.
Animals do not have this problem. No one has yet dared to legislate or moralize about wildlife, which is a practical example of what is or is not natural.
However, the human being, pretentiously superior to nature, has not found, especially in sexuality, the line of conduct that uses it to elevate it.
It is not surprising, because he has not found her morally either.
In summary, we believe that the Vedas give us a teaching that we should consider: sex between a man and a woman is a sacred act that elevates them, the union of energy and consciousness, as exemplified by the god Shiva and his wife Shakti. United in a loving embrace.
