Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who has spent most of their life consumed by lust and is now feeling anxious as their sexual energy seems to be fading. He explains that lust is like a dark shadow that only exists in the absence of light. When one's life lacks truth or a higher purpose, it naturally fills with disturbances like lust, boredom, and violence. He emphasizes that lust has no inherent power; it cannot face the light of truth. The problem is not the presence of lust, but the avoidance of the 'Ram' or the truth that invites us. He points out that people often ignore the call of the divine or the teacher because they want to preserve space for their worldly desires. He further explains that energy is constantly being generated through the food we consume, and if this energy is not utilized for meaningful or selfless work, it will inevitably manifest as lower, demonic tendencies. He advises living a life of total exhaustion—spending all one's energy in service and righteous action so that nothing remains to turn into the 'poison' of suppressed lust. He suggests that those who claim to be overwhelmed by lust are often just avoiding their duties or 'stealing' time from meaningful work. By choosing the highest and truest option available in every moment, one leaves no room for lust to enter. Ultimately, he clarifies that true fulfillment and even the right understanding of the body come only to those who have known the higher truth, as lust is merely a superficial 'itch' compared to the vastness of spiritual joy.
