Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



The biological need of sex which is satisfied by marriage, must be respected even by the man who has renounced it. He ought not fall into the error of one kind of ascetic who denounces it in vituperative language or of the other kind who tries to ignore it in repressive silence. It is a perfectly natural function which becomes evil if man degrades it, noble if he elevates it, changed if he sublimates it.
