Acharya Prashant explains that it does not matter how long one has practiced austerity or what kind of renunciate, yogi, or seeker one has been. As long as the body is there, the possibility of an impulse or a tendency (vritti) showing up is always present. The most one can do is to know that it is a thing, something that even chimpanzees have. This tendency is something one has because one is coming from far behind, carrying the dust of time. It is very old and it is there. One should watch it, acknowledge it, and if in the mood, play with it and then move on. The speaker likens lust to a fever, stating they are both things of the body and are the same. One does not need to attach a moral tag to them. Fever is just like lust; something happens to the body, and it gets heated up. One never says that fever is evil, and similarly, even lust is not. It was an evolutionary prerequisite. Every animal needs lust because Nature (Prakriti) wants its tribe to multiply its DNA. So, in almost every species, you find the male running after the female. This behavior is neither good nor bad; it is just evolutionary. It is Nature playing its old game, and the poor dog is not to be blamed. One cannot say the dog is now going to be fried in hell for what it is doing in the middle of the road. It is doing nothing; it is the body playing its old games, which are millions of years old. Therefore, one should not expect a life free of the so-called various sins. As long as the body is there, everything is going to remain in the body. However, you can be free of those things.
