Web;
I’m not much of a moralist but I do know that putting yourself in the position of a sexual frenzy can make it very difficult to still the body. Practicing Kriya actually numbs the body as the energies are brought into the spine. I’m not sure how Solomon satisfied all his wives and concubines or if his story is just that; a story. I know it is important in the spiritual life to calm the body and not always put it in a state of frenetic activity.
In the Ramayana, Rama's father, King Dasharatha also had many wives, 350 if I remember right, and that story comes from way before Solomon I believe. For most of us 'mere mortals', moderation is the very least needed for higher spiritual states, but so is being faithful to only one and neither are easy for many coming out of an age of 'over-indulgence.' I think for Solomon and for Dasharatha, they had already attained a high level of advancement so maybe it's a matter of 'horses for courses'?
