What is the significance of celibacy in spiritual practice?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Celibacy is not a moral vow but the natural fragrance of samadhi; when consciousness awakens, sexual energy settles spontaneously, allowing purity to blossom."

Don’t force celibacy; become peaceful inside and the urge quiets by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Focus on inner awakening (meditation/awareness) instead of repressing desire.
- Reduce guilt and inner conflict by trusting natural transformation.
- Avoid hypocrisy and harmful, imposed moralism in relationships.
