"Men and women who blindly obey their sexual impulses do not realise to what psychic dangers they are exposing themselves. 'What dangers?' you will ask. Consider a drunkard: he is completely dazed and anaesthetised with drink. Wine is an excellent thing, but he has abused it, and look at what a state he is in now. Sexual energy is also an excellent thing, and what is more, it has often been compared to wine. But if we abuse it? You will say that you know men and women whose dissolute lives do not prevent them from educating themselves and holding jobs. Yes, of course, sensuality is compatible with certain intellectual and artistic faculties. But if one day they wish to do a spiritual work, they will not be able to, because they will have lost the necessary elements, their most precious quintessence, and moreover they will no longer have the desire to rise higher in themselves. Consider another example: bees which have gorged themselves on honey become too heavy to fly. It is the same with men and women who have not learned to master their sexual instincts: they can continue to do all sorts of work, but they cannot fly. The heavenly regions are forbidden to them."
