1.4 Brahamcharya (Self-control)
Brahmacharyapratisthayam viryalabhah I
(38, 2 Yogsutra)
By the establishment of celibacy,
get benefit of energy (craft/semen/energy).
Yoga
Sadhaka should follow self-control, but this does not mean that he should renounce
family life and become a monk, such an action is not expected in yoga
science ,When a Sadhka progresses on the path of yoga, on his own he feel that
he should renounce the worldly activities and he will be free from all desires
and hence can easily study Dhyana and Dharma.
However, all of us need not stretch the
meaning of self-control to this level. Controlled enjoyment of desires, staying
within the limit of Dharma and science can be termed as self-control. if we
understand this meaning and behave accordingly, we will be able to progress in
yoga.
Due to
uncontrolled behavior. We are more restricted, their fulfillment and enjoyment
do have a place in the family life, but there should be some limit. It is we should
control the desires and not desires controlling us. Once the desires start
ruling us, we lose our freedom, if the desire are not fulfilled, then we lose
our mental and physical well being.
In this way Brahamcharya gives us teaching of universal values like COURAGE, RESPECT,
SIMPLICITY, PEACE, RESPECT AND SO ON…
