brahmacharya
this aspect
distinguishes human from animal , Senses turning inwards, instincts of
survivals getting regulated for higher purpose in life , eventually overcoming
the limitations of 4 , aahaar nidra bhaya maithuna------is the full perspective
of the word celibacy, and is the result of one living in brahman consciousness,
ie brahma charya
without realizing and
living brahman consciousness , brahmacharya, one cannot be a true celibate,
without brahman
consciousness , celibacy is most difficult path of mind/sense control , it is
the way of ignorant
in brahman
consciousness, living becomes most natural, as senses having tasted the joys of
brahmanand, naturally become averse to anything less than it , are naturally
are tuned to it, are naturally turned inwards towards it
"I can understand
from my own experience, brahmacharya is really a shield protecting me from any
distracting inputs, all the nudity, vulgarity in the media , movies and visuals
has no effect , without any of my struggle ."
"''There is another
option those who engaged in their profession so intensely deeply can control
such natural urge
they are transformed it
into their profession and they only can be called masterminded in one field
...for example if somebody is painter even painting for nude cannot make them
to feel in chaste thought they just dive deep in that
complete control of the
senses. is impossible without This realization
realization can happen
easiest in as is where is state thru guru guidance without loss of time
''Brahmacharya means control in thought, word and action, of all the senses at
all times and in all places.''---------this is the mature state of sadhana,
leading to ultimate mastery but it happens gradually, one gains control in
degrees as sadhana continues
during sadhana, ie till
one gets total control, it is necessary t o follow dos and donts prescribed by
guru, and it does need some effort , here faith helps ''it is possible to
practice such Brahmacharya in thought, word and action to the fullest extent
though it may be very difficult.''
thus such individuals
increasing in society will bring in the total transformation and crimes will
reduce/ vanish it is imperative that everyone has to strive to reach this goal
for individual/ social/ universal good
"Self-realization
is
1 first to get a glimpse
of the self , by any means , by any help
2 then sustain the
practice, that momentary glimpse becomes stable 24 hours , in the mature level,
in this one overcomes the body consciousness, though living in the body complex
of thoughts, speech and actions. and always experiencing his real
transcendental unmanifest existence the transformation from stage 1 to 2 may
happen rapidly or slowly on the intensity of sadhana"
"But we can suggest
a few lines of investigation at best as a help
and if interested, one
pursues and gets at the direct experience himself, not needing any one to
convince ''The full and proper meaning of Brahmacharya is search of Brahman.''
-----and living the truth of existence as a reality of life ''Brahman pervades
every being and can therefore be searched by realizing the inner
self.''-----------the brahman being the unmanifst , underlying the every
manifestation, it is not perceivable thru sense and intellect or emotion ,
but comes to be experienced easily in the inner self , as the self itself , as
the pure awareness"
'It is the fashion
nowadays to dismiss God altogether''------since meaning one assigns to the this
word ''god '' differs , and just will not appeal to the so called
''rationalists'' ''the possibility of reaching the highest kind of life without
the necessity of a living faith''-----also may be feasible, , since paths are
plenty initially faith helps, gradually cognizing the truth of god dispenses
the need of faith ''i must confess my inability to drive the truth of the law
to those who have no faith in and no need for a Power infinitely higher than
themselves.''-------each has a view of his own valid for him
it is impossible to
convince anyone on these abstract matters. , so we will not try to convince,
but we can suggest a few lines of investigation at best as a help"
this is vital----
''Better start early in life, 12 years is a long time, ''since human is born
with certain remnant impurities, and accumulates further impurities in every
encounter/ action . the body mind nervous system are like cooking vessel needs
to be cleaned after use regularly, and reach a state of ''nonstick ''
eventually refinement i/ cleaning s a delicate process takes its own time, can
be accelerated by intensive practices. since it takes time, the tradition has
been to give initiation into meditation practice quite early to the youth , by
the time he grows into a adult he comes out with the sufficient level of purity
, the right qualification to lead a human life . irrespective of gender it is
applicable,
ability the human
gains to cognize insights, life's secretes, the intricate laws of nature from
within once access to this core is gained, one's life turns aligned with all
the laws of nature, no more mistakes, one acts spontaneously flawless the
scriptural essence get revealed from inside, as if it is open book"
it is just a little
diversion, mind is given the experience of brahman consciousness , mind finds
that this experience is more charming than all the worldly pursuits . and thru
regular contact with it , the mind is in sathsang with the brahman
consciousness and gradually acquires the qualities of that consciousness, which
are very pleasing to the mind , and takes a natural direction to function as
per the natural law
this brahman
consciousness, the core of individual, i, aham , ie individual takes over the
control on the mind and will be able to experience and enjoy life more glorious
than that obtainable by money./ sense gratification
his desires rise to
higher pedestal , ie his desires become refined, and easy to accomplish as well
such a person sees
things in grand perspective , will not fall for petty attractions"
lost time is lost
forever but the present moment has infinite possibilities one can start with
learning meditation in as is where is level irrespective of age etc , a
student/ a professional/ or businessman/ whatever it is just sparing a few
minutes morning and evening .as the practice continues , results unfold"
"A training in
brahma vidya must go hand in hand with education right from the beginning.
crime events unfolding
endlessly , are inevitable consequences of this one single lack
i feel it is the ability
to gain insights any way , now the social consciousness in media and , law is
rising which in a way acts as deterrent, but fundamental , root level solution
is the contact with the brahman, the pure consciousness, one has to gain to
really gain control over once life"
"Ancient history /
culture is surely a great help, since it had the experience of the light of
transcendent, guiding the movement of individuals and the society in the right
direction , the words in anjaneya dandakam '' namasthe sadaa brahmachari '' has
been an eternal inspiration since my adolescent days, and i kept a photo of
hanuman in my hostel room during my studies which helped me just not to get
distracted
i happened to
possess the tiny book ''thus spake swami vivekananda'', and has been a
practical guide ,"
in the flood of
modernity. i myself , having come in association with guru and meditation
movement, quite early, naturally preferred to be brahmachari , and i find that
i have a shield against all inputs, and it is a blessing thru guru krupa , at
workplace, during lunch time ,my colleagues male and female used to do group
meditation
