Acharya Prashant explains that a human being is essentially a restlessness that is desperate to be stilled. This restlessness is presented with two paths, both promising peace. One path is attractive, easy, and supported by the senses and the world, but it only increases unrest. The other path is subtle, like a faint trail in a forest, and is often overlooked. He states that the restless consciousness tries to use everything it encounters, such as objects, people, or praise, to find peace. Sexuality is simply another attempt to find peace by using the body. Just as one uses the tongue for taste or the skin for beauty, one uses the genitals to seek calm. However, the price paid in time and energy for this physical path is enormous, while the return is merely temporary excitement followed by complications. He notes that the attraction is not to another's body but is driven by one's own physical nature. Since humans possess an animal body, physical attractions are natural. True spiritual practice and courage do not mean the absence of desire, but rather choosing the right path despite the pull of the wrong one. He encourages the seeker to keep rising after every fall, acknowledging that the habit of being misled is very old, and to focus on the path of consciousness.
