All his actions should be taken to be only divine manifestations on the plane of humanity. There should not arise even the least doubt as to his being emancipated while yet alive. He lives only for the good of the world.

>Its been said that Karma has a certain momentum after enlightenment I would think that appies to the body needs as well.
>There is almost an inuedo that sex is un holy, un godly, not nice thing to do or have done to you.
>I think we can try to put the enlightened into a box and ourselves for that matter.
>To my mind "God" is the totality, all of it.
>It could be said that "God" is pro sex as no living thing would be here on this planet with out our forefathers indulgence.
>We can be a bit hypocritical in our attitude to sex. Its ok to watch all kinds of violence on the news but a couple making love??? Oh no, most definately not.
>The human race could survive quite nicely without violence but it wouldent survive a generation with out sexual activity. Go forth and multiply.
>Its all the play of consciousness any way.
>I think K can cause us to act in a different way from that which we are conditioned to believe is a moral standard just to show us that our beliefs are just beliefs our standards just imposed by convention.
>Some Tantric Gurus openly have more than one permanent partner. Its normal for them and their ladies.
>Nothing is right or wrong till thinking makes it so possably a missquote but near enough.
>All of this that I have written is just a point of view I could just as easily make a case for a different point of view. That not being a hypocrit just an awareness that other points of view just as and possibly more valid than the one I have expressed exist.
