Caution about Lust

The most important thing for maintaining a good health and a virtuous nature is to refrain from the temptation and abuse of sex. Otherwise, internally, one`s essence is harmed; outwardly, one`s behavior is corrupted. Lust and the abuse of sex are like a sharp knife that can scrape one`s essence and carve one`s bone. One`s primal energy will be exhausted, by which one cannot accomplish anything if one wishes to cultivate. One may degrade further to commit immoral acts, thus creating more negative karma.
