Question

Hi Dhanajay,

Many saints (Tukaram, Eknath...etc) saints were married & were having children, still they attended Mokshya (Salvation). This indicate they did not follow celibacy. Please let me know your view.

Regards,
Narayan

Answer

Limiting the sexual act to progeny (producing offspring) as regards one or two wanted children, does not come in the way of attaining salvation. The purpose of the sexual act is procreation & not recreation. The saints mentioned above and many more, took to a life of Brahmacharya for realization of the self, shunning a life of recreational sexuality, though married.
