Cause behind failure

Dhananjay • 9/1/2012
Question

When I tried to analyse my past failures in celibacy, or I should rather call it my succumbing to indulgence, I observe that after remaining celibate for a while, the bodily heat is increasing, and I am feeling uncomfortable and sleepless, and finally reaching a point where one feels like having a break atleast to get some good sleep.
Also the mood of happiness due to our internal state or due to achieving anything outside,creates an escape for mind to celebrate by indulgence...
How do we get out of thid kind of traps?

Answer

Through ‘Srvana’ (reading material related to self-realization such as the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, Pathanjali Yoga sutra-s and the words of the wise), ‘Manana’ (contemplation on what has been read & learnt) and ‘Nidhidhyasana’ (meditation), the mind gradually becomes poised towards unbroken Brahmacharya and divinity. Wisdom becomes stronger.To achieve all these a life of Yogic practice is to be adhered to with commitment. The Astanga-s (8 limbs of Yoga) when practiced with sincerity instill the strength to ward away Maya which is the cause behind breaks.
