*POINTS TO PONDER* 'Brahmavidya' is the science of 'self-knowledge' and 'Brahmacharya' is living in 'Brahman'( Truth-consciousness and bliss )~Swaathmaaraaman.

D. : Is not 'Brahmacharya' (celibacy) necessary for realization of the Self?

M.: Brahmacharya is 'living in Brahman'. It has no connection with
celibacy as commonly understood. A real brahmachari, that is one
who lives in Brahman, finds bliss in the Brahman which is the
same as the Self. Why then should you look for other sources of
happiness? In fact the emergence from the Self has been the cause of all the misery.
