12. When the impurities emerge from the subconscious mind and come to the surface of theconscious mind with formidable force, do not try to resist them. Repeat your Ishta Mantra. Do not
think of your defects or evil qualities much. It is enough if you introspect and find out your defects.
Do not try to attack the evil qualities. Then they will show their long faces. Do not worry yourself
often: “I have got so many defects and weaknesses.” Cultivate Sattvic virtues. Through meditation
and by the development of positive qualities, through Pratipaksha Bhavana method all the negative
qualities will die of themselves. This is the right method.
13. Passion will subside by protracted Japa and meditation and Chintana on Atman. Do not
try to run away from ladies. Then Maya will chase you terribly. Try to see the Self in all forms and
repeat the formula ‘Om Eka Satchidananda Atma’ often. Remember that the Atman is sexless.
Mental repetition of this formula will give you strength.
14. You should remain far away from ladies in the beginning of your practice. After you are
perfectly moulded and well-established in Brahmacharya, you should test your strength by moving
with ladies very cautiously for some time. If your mind is very pure now also, if there is no sex-idea,
if the mind ceases to act through the practice of Uparati, Sama and Dama, remember you have
gained real spiritual strength and made considerable progress in your Sadhana. You are safe now.
You should not stop your Sadhana thinking that you are a Jitendriya Yogi. If you stop it you will
have a hopeless fall. Even if you are a Jivanmukta and a dynamic Yogi, you should be very careful
when you move with worldly persons.
15. Thirsty aspirants who are treading the path of Self-realisation who are householders and
forty years of age should give up contact with the partners in life. They should observe perfect
physical Brahmacharya, if they want rapid spiritual progress and Self-realisation in this very birth.
There are no half way measures in the spiritual path.
