Question:
-
... Is this chastity in my life a
punishment for something in one of my past lives?
Answer:
Q1.
I
am nearing mid-30s and yet I have not found a girlfriend for 19
years. I have since had no luck in dating. I am a
bachelor and concerned about the future. Could this be a karma
in this life I have to endure? Is this chastity in my life a
punishment for something in one of my past lives?
A1.
Well, there are two paths for each individual, in life.
They are the path of marriage and family life, and the path of
renunciate or sannyasin. Those who choose the path of
marriage, have the responsibility of creating as wonderful children
as possible. Those who choose the path of renunciate/sannyasin
dedicate their life to God and His work (creation of the Communities
Of Light). So if you feel that you have been chosen to be a
renunciate, that is not a punishment. I t might be an opportunity
for you to serve God by dedicating your life to His Work
