Break in Brahmacharya beyond a few months
Question
my question is like after observing celibacy for few months i feel great power inside me and i start loosing my concentration. even the spiritual readings and pranayamas start to loose their effect on me. i forget everything regarding my efforts which i make to keep my brahmacharya intact. i feel like there is fire in my veins and can do anything. in this state it becomes quite difficult for me to remain celibate. plz help me out. everytime i make efforts and maintain celibacy like 4-5 months and end up with the break. is excess of energy main reason behind my failure? i have made all kind of efforts like hard physical exercises, yoga, pranayamas,fast, satvic diet, even a low protein diet but all in vain.
Answer
Certain past Samskaras (impressions) and Vasanas (tendencies) that have not yet been weeded out of the Karana Sharira (causal body) are the reasons behind the break. Keep up the efforts unfailingly with the practices you have mentioned in a sustained manner. Do not give up. The only way to weed out these past impressions is through sustained efforts till Brahmacharya becomes natural and unbroken. Time and commitment are the swords with which you will eventually win the battle. Until HE decides that the time for success has come, success eludes. Till then, it is for us to prove our worth by never giving in and never giving up in spite of breaks.
