enough if sexual impulses are conquered. The impulses must be
uprooted as soon as they arise, before they become thoughts of
sex. Secondly, once there has been eye contact with anyone
who arouses impulses of sexuality, you should immediately look
away and change the inner visual link. Otherwise the sexual
seedling will grow and even when it is tiny it will sow seeds
for more sex. Therefore it is best to eradicate it when it is a
mere sapling.
Stay as far away from the company of those who are
likely to trap you in sexuality, because if you get trapped even
once, you will keep on getting into trap after trap. Therefore
run! You must run as far away from that person as possible.
You would not slip if you leave the place where there are
chances of slipping. In satsang, there is no chance of meeting any
other ‘files’ (people who tempt you sexually). People with the
same goal of spiritual progress come together here, do they not?
Eradicate the sexual thought immediately. Do pratikraman
for any attraction of a sexual nature. With these two weapons,
brahmacharya will remain forever.
It is in the nature of the sexual seed to fall and reseed into
a plant. The eyes see all kinds of things and hence seeds are
sown within. These internal seeds have to be uprooted. As long
as they are in the form of seeds, one has a chance for a cure.
Once they sprout and start growing it becomes more and more
difficult, and then there is no cure.
The women are not pulling and attracting you. It is your
past life account that is pulling and attracting you. Therefore
uproot and throw it (sexual impulses) away and clear the
account. After Gnan, there is no problem of any kind except
sex. Therefore I caution you against sex. Just commencing a
sexual link through looking is the fault and especially after
understanding this, if it happens then severe liability is incurred.
