Seduction At Altar

.
Yogi. Arts
Aesthetics

There were
 Times such
  Disciplined
  One trained 
  Disciples to
 Ever Desist
Temptation 
Gold & Girl
Lust & Love
Men trained
To overcome
 Carnal quests
  A sensuous body
   Is but a leather bag
     A celibate to discriminate 
         The monk stays unmoved stoic detached 

In every woman young or old treat her as Mom
Breasts you suckled your mother’s as an infant
Real men do no seek carnal worldly enjoyments 
Covet not temporal beauty that will fade in time. 
                   Yogi seeks immortality    
             steadfast on the path of wisdom. 
         the celestial nymphs may cavort before
Temptations wordly.                Consider them a test
Gold and Girl.                                   rest you eyes
are delusions.                                    on inner core
you overcome.                                    body beatific
Cessation.                                                 is corpse
of impulse.                                                 Stillness
nerves o steel.                                      is cultivated 
to be attained.                                      Is the secret
in all learnings.                                     and constant 
Sacrifice temptations.                 Yogi has a mission.  
                sacred thread, mudras and mantras   
                    steadfast Self in discrimination 
                             The Yogi Practices 

Brahmacharya or continence to the extent extreme
Religion says- Marriage is fundamental to Dharma
Tantra says - The creative energy is the root cause
Yoga says - Bhramacharya is the essential bedrock 

The Gyanis say that true Brahmachaya is not forced
Brahmacahrya is- Staying with Brahma- in whatever
No point in physical abstinence, if mind is wandering

Various thoughts different ways to overcome to grow

Debatable. In most cases celibacy does not work, in my opinion, because it’s repression or at best, sublimation. On the other hand, when our priority for God search becomes single pointed, we transcend automatically, by grace of course

Agree. So my conclusion - The Gyanis say that true Brahmachaya is not forced Brahmacahrya is- Staying with Brahma- in whatever No point in physical abstinence, if mind is wandering. ( Brahmachaya is celibacy). Thanx for visiting.
