Issue while practising abstinence
Question
Sir - Namaste. I am a spiritual aspirant beloging to Grihastha ashrama (householder). I have tried to practise sexual abstinence on a few occassions earlier. The problem starts after about 10 days of abstinence. I begin to feel burning inside my urethra. Temporarily the burning goes away while semen is excreted via urine while passing stool. This continues during my period of abstinence. If I have sexual activity, this burning problem does not occur. I have resumed sexual activity just to suppress this burning problem in those instances. Kindly let me know if others too experience this issue and any remedy for this. OM
Answer
Take up the complete Yoga Sadhana suggested in past answers, with surrender to God. You will gradually get established. Brahmacharya cannot be attained through forceful abstinence.
