And those students who find that world of God through chastity, theirs is that heavenly
country; theirs, in whatever world they are, is freedom. - Chhandogya Upanishad

Know that in this world there is nothing that cannot be attained by one who remains from
birth to death a perfect celibate... In one person, knowledge of the four Vedas, and in another,
perfect celibacy - of these, the latter is superior to the former who is wanting in celibacy.
- The Mahabharata
