AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I had the habit of masturbation, which I have stopped for quite a few days. But lustful lower vital suggestions still come to me. I am thinking that if I can express that Vital energy in some higher form, then maybe I may be completely free from it. πŸ˜“[…]

Am I thinking in the correct lines? If so, what steps should I take to achieve this? Otherwise, should I continue to keep suppressing my urge in the way I am doing right now?

One should stay busy and do vigorous physical exercises to channelise the sexual energies. Also, cultivating the artistic side or developing hobbies such as painting, music, etc, also helps, but sports and active games are the best way.Β 

To avoid these suggestions, read books that inspire and strengthen the spiritual side and avoid close company and vital interchanges with the opposite gender or through reels that often act like triggers or, as very often happens, the suggestions are thrown by persons around as part of the collective life and catch whoever is susceptible. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

An example of the former type could be, ‘suna hai …

From the archetype point of view, the character of the main protagonist (hero) in this film is more like Abhimanyu except that it ends up with a happier fate. Like Abhimanyu, he enters into the enemy ranks from where coming out was near impossible. He is trained but inexperienced, again like Abhimanyu. He is valiant, courageous, puts …

Yes, if one looks within and finds that one has done what best one could do in a given situation, then one should remain inwardly quiet and see why one gets disturbed by the criticism. It is generally either because one expects some appreciation or praise or at least..
