Brahmacharya and Fate

Question: I have just found your website when searching for “use of Ramanam”. I am 19 years old and doing my B.E. in a self financing college. For the past few months I don’t know why I suddenly got interest in kamam. I need your suggestion for controlling one’s mind from these matters. I also request you to explain “how for does fate is true in one’s life?” I hope you will reply as soon as possible

Answer: My humble advice to you is
1. Take only Satvik food.
2. Offer intense prayers to make your mind pure.
3. Take some physical exercises daily like Yogasanas.
4. Keep good company.
5. Read good books which will elevate your mind, and cogitate on such good thoughts.
6. Don’t think opposite sex as an object of enjoyment, a manufacturing machine. Instead think that they are divine and they are also to be honoured, respected and worshipped. In this connection I request you to read that portion from the life of Sri Ramakrishna who worshipped his wife as the Mother of the universe. Unless until you change your outlook you cannot raise in the Moral scale. Every woman is Shakti and she has divinity in her. Pay due respects to that divinity and hate it not.
“It is people who are getting old, who talk of fate. It is the strong man, Who stands up and says, ‘I will make my fate,’ says Swami Vivekananda.
May Divine Mother of the universe give you sufficient mental strength to overcome all temptations in your life!
