AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Actually I am not able to control myself from keeping  physical relation with my wife. Normally in average once in a week we are keeping relationship. Is it not good and obstacle for sadhana? Sometime I am feeling guilty but unable to control. Every time I think it will be last, but …

It takes time, sometimes quite a long time, decades to completely master the sexual impulse that is rooted so deeply into the physical-biological parts. Living with wife / husband keeps fuelling it further feeding it due to the close contact until it slowly wanes due mainly to overfamiliarity and a weakening of the vital intensity. 

It is a process one has to go through. Sanyama, that is regulating the impulse, say once a week is the right way towards mastering it. Slowly you can increase the duration it little by little until the urge almost fades away. Though as long as the sex centre itself is not transformed and Peace, Strength, Wideness not settled there, the mastery does remain precacious. A close contact with a woman especially when alone can trigger the nerves again. So it is best avoided.

Guilt etc have to be kept out completely. It only makes matters worse rubbing salt to the injury. Keep trying self restraint and keep offering to the Mother until it is ready to be dropped off. Meanwhile stay busy, do physical workout regularly and avoid boredom. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Identifying with the Supreme Being is rare. What is generally called as Mukti is departing from the cycle of birth and death into a state of Silence or Nirvana and then merging or losing all one’s individual truth that the….

Sir, the main problem with depressive medicines is that they make the body and mind always sleepy, dull and lethargic.

Really don’t know what to do ahead.🌧️🧑‍⚕️💊🫠
