This can be dangerous bro… because
A man without awareness can pick anything that suits his ego.

Considering perspective and need differs from person to person- Something may not be useful for one but maybe useful for other.
I am assuming the reader have some sense and will to improve self. I meant to say that pick whatever is your need and ignore whatever is not useful.

Thats fine dear. Maybe it will improve readers awareness and provide some mental excercise to his chitta, manas and buddhi eventually. Btw reading book does not have any side effect.:blush:

Peace.

This is a negative thought. … in this you will always do anger & disrespect women.

Say yourself 2 things :

Extremly Sorry to interrupt again…

There is no Future my friend.

Start Respecting Women Now
Just say

I Respect women

The Past has gone.
Today is Present Moment.

By saying i will respect women… You are sending your brain a signal that … in future … like you regret your past. We have to break from past as well as future

We only have present moment.

You can create your thoughts today.
Change past shameful thoughts & wiring.

Dont give mind so much time to prepare… Attack him Now

Most of people think i am poking them.
I only waste my time on my friends.
:pray:

DAY 22

Woke up at 4:16
I had nocturnal emission last night (first in these 21 days). Urges and bad dreams are out of question.

Experienced a lot of emotional waves last evening due to some other reasons(family). I tried to observe these emotional waves during meditation. I knew they are just games of mind, need to succeed in controlling them- Afterall I am the master, not my mind.

In addition to that felt some gas in the evening.
Slept peacefully.

My analysis

  1. A persisting agitated state of mind could have affected the balance of my subconscious mind
  2. Gas in lower stomach putting pressure while sleeping
  3. Though I did not feel any weakness or lethargy, it might be that the excess vital energy which I could not engage in physical, mental or intellectual level was out. Need to channelize the energy.

So these three situations I must avoid to avoid nocturnal emission.
Suggestions are most welcome.

Morning workout- 2km running, lunges, Hindu pushups, Surya namaskar

Cleaning, bath,
Mahamudra, Moolbandh with Siddhasan, Uddiyana bandha
