The Practice of Sri Ramchandra’s Rajayoga and its Efficacy
this is there but there is a lack of feeling. Knowledge becomes a feeling when it percolates down below to the heart from the mind. A manava is one who practices Brahmacharya. This is a word, which has been misinterpreted. Brahmacharya is not being celibate but to control ourselves in such a way so as to behave in a balanced manner. The word Brahmacharya is combination of the words Brahm and chara. The process of Brahm is manifestation. To participate with Him is to move along with Him. Many people do not differentiate between pada and charana. Pada is static where charana is movement. ‘Charnaou sharanam prapadye’ is stated not ‘padao sharanam prapadye’. The goal of man is to move along with the Divine in the path of the Divine, in the tract of the Divine and not to become static by sitting in one corner. Brahmacharya means to move along with Divine. Abstinence as a method required for Brahmacharya has a purpose i.e. if one does not abstain, he forms attachments and as a result samskaras start developing and as a result we get away from the movement and purpose of Divine.
This is what the Upanishad Isa said as stated
