30th Sutra Chapter 2: 4th Yama: Brahmcharya
Brahmcharya means finding out which desires come from our hearts, and which, are “mind made.”
To discern which desires come from our own divinity,
and which come from our restless minds.
It means searching for the desire of the soul.
What is it that we truly want?
To answer such a question requires great courage.
It means channelising our energies,
our body, mind and soul towards our ultimate goal.
