Guarding brahmacharya
Question
Hello Sir, I have almost five months of unbroken brahmacharya. I am mostly confident with avoiding self-stimulation, but I am concerned about temptation with an actual woman. It seems as if I am receiving a bit more attention lately from women, almost as if I am being tested. I do not want to lose brahmacharya, but I know I would be vulnerable if an actual woman was available to me. Any suggestions?
Answer
Contact with women should be brief, to the point & always be limited to necessity. A sense of Vairagya (dispassion) should be always kept in the mind as regards all worldly things including the impermanent body of a woman which degrades with time and is nothing but a flesh bag containing excrement. When such efforts are applied with an absolute life of Yoga supported by devotion to the Lord and much meditation, things becomes easier and the boat called Brahmacharya braves troubled waters.
