Break
Question
hi dhananjay,
can you please clarify the questions.
1.after 3months and a week of my brahmacharya practice i had a voluntary break and from yesterday i again started brahmacharya is it ok if we start as soon as we had a break.
2.why we are unable to control our body (hands while bathing) which caused me a voluntary break. i was about to watch porn but i thought of your answer you gave some days back as we watch porn it is like cheating god and i want to clarify that even we had a break we should at any cost watch porn even though it is voluntary.
3.some elder people say that if our mind is somewhere and we are practicing the opposite it is not a full fledged practice (eating meat in case of myself) i control myself not to eat and my mind is always behind eating it mentally and some other things in others.
Answer
1. Yes
2. Past Samskara-s (impressions) and Vasana-s (tendencies) which exist in seed form within the causal body are the cause behind sexual thoughts and actions. These slowly dissolve after many years of unbroken Brahmacharya and meditation. One should never resort to watching porn. It equals a break
3. Such logic is akin to a man who commits a murder out of anger because his mind thinks on the lines It is of no use to physically refrain from committing a murder when my angry mind wants to kill that person. Since my mind wants to commit the crime, I shall as well kill him and be true to my mind. Does this make sense? While it is no doubt wrong to think of murder, the thought when converted into action becomes a crime in actuality. Nothing more is then left behind. It is necessary to first develop physical abstinence so as to support mental abstinence as regards both meat eating and Brahmacharya.
