Question: Lustfully Looking at Women is Illicit?


I'd like to know:  Is it a violation of the illicit sex regulative principle if I look at women with lust?

Sincerely,

Answer: Yes, So See All Women as Mother.


Yes it is illicit sex to look at women lustfully. This principle is also confirmed as follows in the Christian Bible (Matthew 5:28):

“But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

Therefore in Vedic culture the men are taught to see all women except for their own wives as mother. No civilized human being would even dream of having sex with his mother. Therefore the training is to see all women with the exception of one’s wife as mother.
