Laziness in the initial period
Question
Sir,
After practising brahmacharya for several weeks ( about 3), I am beginning to feel lazy and cannot concentrate on studies. I feel drowsy most of the time. What should I do?
Answer
Indulge in regular physical exercise or Asanas, intellectual work and spiritual God-meditation along with the daily routine. The immense energy that has been conserved needs to be effectively channelized through the right means by diverting it into constructive activity. Else, the accumulated energy stagnates, becomes Tamasic (inertia) and finally goes out through a wet dream. Sometimes, during the initial stages of beginning Brahmacharya, negative emotions and stupor along with laziness surface due to the force of past Vasanas (tendencies). Even in such cases, the solution is the same.
ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
