Lust is an emotion or feeling of intense desire in the
body. The lust can take any form such as the lust for knowledge, the lust for
sex or the lust for power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food
as distinct from the need for food. Lust is a psychological force producing
intense wanting for an object, or circumstance fulfilling the emotion.
Religions, especially Christianity, separate the definition
of passion and lust by further categorizing lust as being morally wrong.While
passion for proper purposes is maintained as something God given and moral.
From view of Hinduism, In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna,
an Avatar of Vishnu declared in verse 21, that lust is one
of the gates to Naraka or hell.In this ancient manuscript the idea behind the word 'Lust'
is best comprehended as the psychological force called 'Wanting'.
According to Brahma Kumaris, a spiritual organization
which is based on Hindu philosophy, sexual lust is the greatest enemy to
mankind and the gateway to hell.For this reason followers do not eat onions, garlic, eggs,
or non-vegetarian food, as the "sulphur" in them can excite sexual
lust in the body, otherwise bound to celibacy.The physical act of sex is "impure", leading to
body-consciousness and other crimes. This impurity "poisons" the body
and leads to many kinds of "diseases".The Brahma Kumaris teach that sexuality is like foraging
about in a dark sewer. Students at Spiritual University must conquer lust in
order to find the Golden Age, a heaven on earth, where children are
conceived by an asexual power of mind, and lasting for 2,500 years in the peace
and purity of a holy swan moving on earth, over water, and in air.
