ATTAIN SELF
When our thoughts are always
directed towards Self-realization,
our thoughts will be of
Enlightenment at the time of
death also. Kṛṣṇa says, when we
read the scriptures, when we
practice this lifestyle, we
practice brahmacarya.
The literal meaning of
brahmacarya is one who follows
the path to attain the Self.
'Brahman' means the Self and
'carya' means to walk the path.
Anyone who is on the path to
attain Brahman is a Brahmacāri.

Suppression does not lead to transformation. It only creates depression. Suppression of desires is very dangerous; it is like a volcano ready to erupt anytime and we won't even know it. Only completion leads to transformation. Brahmacarya is not about leaving everything and becoming a celibate.
Our inner space must be cleansed with the power of integrity and authenticity. Our inner space must be the space of completion, free from fantasies and we should strive to merge with the Brahman. That is brahmacarya.
