Self-Love as a Cure for Sexual Impurity

Any activity that moves us further from self-realization can be regarded as a reflection of a lack of self-love manifested as envy of ourselves. This lack of self-love moves us to act in ways not aligned with our highest self-interest.

To increase our self-love as it relates to sexual purity, it is helpful to act in ways that are healthy for all dimensions of our being.
