Acharya Prashant addresses a question about dealing with sexual thoughts by using the analogy of a neighbor. He describes a neighbor who is only interested in three things: rest, food, and sex. He asks if one would befriend or support such a person. This neighbor, he reveals, is the body. Since we have a body, a relationship with it is inevitable, but it's better to keep the relationship minimal. The body should be treated like a neighbor, maintaining a certain distance and not allowing it to take over your life. When you are engaged in important work and this neighbor (the body's urge) comes knocking, you should tell it to come back later. Life is short, and one must question why time is being spent on something that offers only momentary excitement. Giving in to such urges wastes precious time. There would be no issue with sex if it led to liberation, but it does not. Instead, it perpetuates a cycle of incompleteness. The speaker asserts that everyone, being mature and experienced, knows that sexual acts do not bring lasting fulfillment; the feeling of incompleteness always returns. Therefore, one must honestly conclude that this path is not the solution. The only way out is to dedicate oneself to a higher purpose. The speaker explains that the word 'vasana' (lust/desire) means that which resides within you. It is inherent to the body. The body's nature is self-preservation and procreation, which are its intentions. In contrast, your intention, as an incomplete ego, is to become whole and dissolve, which is a conflicting goal. The body wants to survive, while you seek liberation. This is like the conflict between wanting to study and the body wanting to sleep. The body has no need for knowledge, liberation, or devotion; its demands are for its own survival. You and the body are not one; there is a great difference in your intentions. The solution is to keep your life so filled with a higher, meaningful purpose that when lust arises, you can tell it, "I am busy, come back later." You cannot tell it to never come back, because it resides in the body, but you can postpone it by being engaged in something more valuable.
