Uncontrolled addiction to pornography
Question
Hi
I have 43 yearsold. I was addicted to masturbation and pornography by friends at age of 12. I fight against this hell addiction since 30 years ago, because I hate the post-orgasmic sensation of weakness.
I try, try and try but am not able to maintain brahmacharya for long periods. With much effort and very rarely i can keep it for one or two weeks.
I just can not see beautiful women and then I despair of desire. I try to not think and to not see,but it not works.
I'm desperate because I want to meet purity soon and not stand this condition. I do not want to die like this. I need urgent help. Nothing worked for me at the moment. Please, help me. What should I do?
Answer
Take to a life of Yoga & Brahmacharya with serious intentions and make it a part of your lifestyle. To overcome slavery to sexuality, one should develop strong devotion to the Almighty and persevere in a life of Yoga. Then, after much effort, success slowly dawns and eventually becomes established. It will take time and patience with unswerving effort to hold on to success, for the karma and resulting Vasana-s (impressions) of over thirty years of indulgence are to be erased. With strong devotion to God and honest effort, it will become possible.
Practice a life of Yoga and Brahmacharya with devotion to the God you find appealing and believe in (say Christ.) There is only one Almighty or Supreme Lord. He takes various forms and men call him by various names. Some call him Brahman; others call him Christ while some others call him Allah. You can also pray to realized saints such as Jesus Christ for guidance if you happen to follow Christianity. It is the honesty, sincerity and commitment of ones efforts that matter. When this exists with love and devotion to the Supreme; HE answers ones prayers which are backed by effort at Yoga & Brahmacharya, call HIM by what name you may.
Go through each and every past answer from the profile page and get clear with the methods of adopting Yoga for Brahmacharya. From tomorrow morning, you will wake up early before Sunrise and adopt the measures that have been described for success in Yoga. Eventually, you will wake up at 4.00 A.M and strictly follow the procedure of Asana, Bandha, Nadi Shodhana and Pranayama followed by meditation on the Supreme. Within 6 months, the problem will come under better control. Further to following this procedure very honestly for a year, you will completely overcome slavery to pornography. Then, the joy of real living starts.
