Sexual Libido in kundalini Awakening.

As long as one's Prâna (vital energy) is not fully harnessed and focused towards raising the Kundalini to the Sahasrâra chakra at the crown of the head, one cannot go into Nirbija Samâdhi (super-consciousness of the final order). This is the basis behind the need for continuous and unbroken Brahmacharya lasting a minimum of 12 years, for even the smallest drain of seminal fluid reduces Prâna (vital energy) within the system and a body deficit in Prâna cannot achieve the highest levels of meditative states.

The need one feels for any form of sexual expression is a Vikâra (distortion from one's pure nature) stemming from Agnyâna (ignorance around the soul). It is the presence of this Vikâra that has degraded the Âtman (pure soul) into the Jivâtma (embodied-degenerated soul) and has encased the soul into the three bodies - physical, astral and causal. So the presence of the smallest amount of sexual urge or libido will act as an impediment and obstacle in reaching high spiritual states. This thing called as the libido is false and an illusion arising from the ego which is itself false and unreal. What people called as a high libido or sex drive is a distortion of Prâna (vital energy) in the realm of Mâya (illusion). It is only the Âtman (pure soul) who is real and he is no different from the Almighty, being an extension. Hence no Kundalini awakening will be complete or progress beyond a limit as long as one's ego and its siblings such as the libido are not fully annihilated.

Immaterial of whether a person is sexual or asexual, it is one's ability to dissolve one's ego and realize oneself not to be the doer that matters. This is the reason, the Yogi constantly reminds himself of the fact that God is the doer and not he himself, through complete surrender and devotion. The concept of individuality and ego are the strongest impediments to spiritual success. Both these things are false, being illusions. The reality is that there is one single entity called the Almighty, and everything else is a product of his creation in this dream-drama called life. Hence all forms of creation are themselves false, just as the moving images on a cinema screen in the theater are not real people but only forms of light thrown by the projector.

An asexual person may not have a high sex drive or may not be sexually inclined and yet have a high-strung ego. This will make it equally tough to achieve spiritual progress, though he is less troubled by the absence of the libido. So the most important qualification or eligibility as regards achieving high states of spirituality is to work towards overcoming all forms of ignorance and finally realize oneself as nothing but the Âtman (pure soul). Whether one is sexual or asexual has little bearing, for unless all forms of unreality surrounding the soul are negated, the one and only one reality called the Almighty cannot be perceived.
