Celibacy

----------------------------------
" The earth may give up scent; water may give up taste; light likewise may give up light; the air may give up the quality of touch; the sun may give up light; the comet may give up heat, the ether may likewise give up sound; the moon may give up its cool rays; indra may give up valor; the lord of virtue (yama) may give of virtue; but I (bhIshhma) can on no account even think of giving up the truth (i.e., the vow of maintaining life - long celibacy).  "
त्यजेच्च पृथिवी गन्धम् आपश्च रसम् आत्मनः ज्योतिस्तथा त्यजेद्रूपं वायुः स्पर्सगुणं त्यजेत् प्रभां समुत्सृजेद् अर्को धूमकेतुस्तथोऽष्णताम त्यजेत् छब्दं तथाऽकाशः सोमः शीतांशुतां त्यजेत् विक्रमं वृत्रहा जह्याद्धर्मं जह्याच्च धर्मराट् न त्वहं सत्यम् उत्स्रष्टुं व्यवसेयं कथं चन
(महाभारत)

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.

  Every moment, thank God
