Removing the weaknesses which break the resolution of practicing celibacy

One decides to practice brahmacharya according to today’s understanding and knowledge, however the knowledge and understanding from the past life was not favoring brahmacharya completely and that became the mind of this life, as a result the current mind will show both; he will feel illusory attraction moha towards sexuality too and will have the intent of practicing brahmacharya too. This is where the sadhak the aspirant of brahmacharya has to keep awareness. One has to follow according to today’s goal and not the dictates of the mind which is a composite of past life opinions and understanding. The one who proceeds as guided by the mind is called mechanical; there is no telling when he will descend and slip. Mind is contradictory in nature, it will show: I want to practice brahmacharya, and at other time it will show: I want to marry; so here You are to keep awareness and strong decision to follow Your goal. You can accomplish the goal if You remain sincere to Your firm decision. A decision cannot be fruitful if you have deceptive intent and sincerity breaks through a loophole. You can definitely bring your goal to completion through the blessings of the Gnani and sincerity towards Your firm decision.
