The seeking of pleasure through sex necessarily brings him close to the edge of an enfeebled will, a sinking in physical being, and an entanglement in mere animality. More than this, the energies thus spent or lost are the concentrated essence of his human being--bodily, emotional, and mental. If these energies are controlled, directed, and uplifted to a higher plane altogether, they become the source, no longer of spiritual degradation, but of spiritual development.
