If someone’s presence has a becalming effect on your mind, soothing effect on your mind, illuminating effect on your mind, liberating effect on your mind, go ahead, be with that person, or persons, as much as you want to. But be with them only as long as you do not become dependent on them, and neither must they become dependent on you. It has to be a mutually healthy relationship, not a relationship in which you enter because of sexuality, or loneliness, or social pressure. You already have enough troubles, right? You don’t want to invite another trouble into your house, into your bedroom, do you? But yes, if someone can bring Joy and Truth to you, invite them right into your heart.
