One young man asked Ramana Maharishi:
“I’m losing my mind over the young woman who lives next door, and I’m afraid of sinning with her.” Please tell me what should I do?
And Ramana Maharishi replied:
- You are always clean. Your feelings and body tempt you, and you confuse them with your true essence. So first figure out who is being tempted and who is tempting. But even if temptation wins, don’t think about what you did later, because you yourself are always clean. There is no need to blame yourself and consider yourself a sinner.
