Why Insist on Brahmacarya (Self Control)?
Brahmacarya is Not only the control of the Sex Impulses,
But is also the Practice of Self-control in all Avenues of
Sense Impulses
&
Sense Satisfactions.
(1/7)
Unless the Seeker has built up a perfect Cage of Intelligent Self-control,
Đ entire World of Objects will flood his Bosom to Bring therein a State of Unending Chaos.
A Mind thus agitated by the Inflow of Sense stimuli is a Mind that is completely Dissipated & Ruined.
Đ Physical Body longs for Contact with the World of Objects in order to Gain Sense Gratification.
When We Continue to live Only for the Gratification of Our Sensual Demands,
Passions Multiply & Ultimately Consume Us.
To Avoid such a Condition, Discipline at the Physical Level, Brahmacarya, is Prescribed.
Brahmacarya is an Attitude of Intelligent contact with the World.
It does Not mean a total Denial of Sense Enjoyments,
But Only Insists on Not Overdoing anything.
When We Live in Self-Control,
We Discover in Ourselves a Renewed Dynamism,
&
become Pillars of Strength in Society.
If this Sacred Doctrine is Not followed,
We Abdicate our Own Freedom & become Slaves to the ever-changing Circumstances of Life.
Also,
Brahmacarya is a Term that can be dissolved in Sanskrit to mean ‘Wandering in Brahma Vicāra’.
To Engage Our Mind in the Contemplation of the Self,
Đ Supreme Reality, is the Saving factor that can really help Us in Withdrawing the Mind from the External Objects.
Đ Human Mind must have one field or another to Engage Itself in.
Unless it is given some Inner field to Meditate Upon,
It will Not be in a Position to retire from its Extrovert Pre-occupations.
This is the Secret behind all Success in ‘Total Celibacy’.
