Question

Hi Sir.Greetings !!.I have stopped masturbating completely past 7 months.I felt very good as swami vivekananda ( whom i believe very much ) graced me to stop it all of a sudden. My frequency of masturbation in the past was was 5-6times/week but i could stop this suddenly and past 7 months I dont even get sexually attracted by any erotic image.I have been able to completely control lust even in my dreams!.Even in dreams I somehow remember swami vivekananda and all the lust is gone,so wet dreams very rarely. I know this is all because of god's grace. But I have horrible withdrawal symptoms to the extent that I was becoming a completely psycho. But somehow by praying God i did not succumb to my old evil habit. Ofcourse God has been gracing me.But recently its been happening that I feel God is turning away from me. Some unexpected things started happening in my life. I initiallly thought its because of my past Karma. I was an athiest earlier but past 3 years I do believe in God. So in all these 3 years God has been giving help but not completely.I somehow controlled my emotions thinking that one day God will completely lift me up from all my problems and sufferings. So i took this path of celibacy to be closer to God and also to stop damaging my health because of masturbation. But now past few days I feel that God is keeping silent and some of those sufferings are coming back in my life.I am getting frustrated.But to be honest I am not blaming God.I still Trust him a lot.But feels like my life is never gonna change.My karma will never leave me even though i keep praying God.So i became restless, agonised insomniac and all and today i felt anyhow i m going to end up with this suffering so why not masturbate atleast to relieve tension temporarily.I know it is wrong and will apologise God but I am going mad sir.I stumbled upon ur website n read that one has to gradually increase periods of celibacy.But what i did was I instantly stopped masturbating ( wich prevailed in my life for 11 years ).So is this extreme step causing me terrible mood swings ??. what exactly do u mean by gradually increasing period of brahmacharya?? .Do u mean one can cut down masturbation frequency gradually and then stop it or stop it altogether at once ?. what u meant was to keep prolonging the target periods ? in that case I know i have complete control.I do not need to prolong periods.but then y god is silent ?? I am thinking of masturbation only for this reason. is it okay if i masturbate today( aft 7 months )?? but will it bring any big curse ? i am already in depression.please help

Answer

1. Apply the correct methods of transmutation as suggested in past answers with the required Yogic practices & lifestyle. Vital energy that is conserved should be applied on constructive activity and cannot be let to stagnate. Correct methods aimed at sublimation will have to be eventually applied in course of time for unbroken success.

2. Where is God being silent? He has prodded you to adopt the correct Yogic practices through these warning signals. Take up the correct practice of Brahmacharya henceforth with devotion to HIM. All things will gradually stabilize.

ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
