Questions concerning the practice of 'Brahmacharya' to know the self & the means required are dealt with on this site.

watch porn but i thought of your answer you gave some days back as we watch porn it is like cheating god and i want to clarify that even we had a break we should at any cost watch porn even though it is voluntary. 3.some elder people say that if our mind is somewhere and we are practicing the opposite it is not a full fledged practice (eating meat in case of myself) i control myself not to eat and my mind is always behind eating it mentally and some other things in others. Answer 1. Yes 2. Past Samskara-s (impressions) and Vasana-s (tendencies) which exist in seed form within the causal body are the cause behind sexual thoughts and actions. These slowly dissolve after many years of unbroken Brahmacharya and meditation. One should never resort to watching porn. It equals a break 3. Such logic is akin to a man who commits a murder out of anger because his mind thinks on the lines It is of no use to physically refrain from committing a murder when my angry mind wants to kill that person. Since my mind wants to commit the crime, I shall as well kill him and be true to my mind. Does this make sense? While it is no doubt wrong to think of murder, the thought when converted into action becomes a crime in actuality. Nothing more is then left behind. It is necessary to first develop physical abstinence so as to support mental abstinence as regards both meat eating and Brahmacharya. (That Supreme being is the absolute truth)

Experience
The term 'Yoga' is a derivative of the Samskruth verb 'Yuj' which refers to union. 'Yoga', also called 'Brahma vidy' is the eternal dissolution of the individual 'Aham' (Ego) into the Atman (self) that is the Lord for 'Mukti' (liberation) Mere indulgence in 'sana' or physical postures is not Yoga. sana is only one limb or 'Anga' of Yoga. The eight limbs viz. Yama, Niyama, sana, Prnyma, Pratyhra, Dhrana, Dhyna and Samdhi are the means to Yoga. Brahmacharya or spiritually based continence is one of the important components of 'Yama'. 'Brahmacharya':-"Brahmani charyathey ithi" - "One who has completely surrendered to Brahman, overcome the Ego, and has realized himself to be a tool of the Almighty." Education/Credentials Bachelors degree in Engineering.
