Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the concern of being constantly magnetized by sexual attraction, explaining that attraction to beauty is not inherently a problem. He argues that nature is seductive and beauty is a reflection of the self or the divine; therefore, the issue lies in one's incapacity to respond to beauty correctly rather than in beauty itself. He suggests that instead of suppressing attraction or fantasizing from a distance, one should have the courage to approach and communicate with others respectfully. Suppression and shyness often stem from a protective ego that fears being tested or rejected. By avoiding contact, one allows the ego to fester and turns natural attraction into a neurotic, explosive force.
