adultery

From ~~~ Be As You Are, Ch. 12

Q.:
I am carried away by the sight
of the breasts of a young woman neighbour
and I am often tempted to commit adultery with her.
What should I do?

M.:
You are always pure.
It is your senses and body which tempt you
and which you confuse with your real Self.

So first know who is tempted and who is there to tempt.

But even if you do commit adultery,
do not think about it afterwards,
because you are yourself always pure.
You are not the sinner.
