celibacy is important in the spiritual life, if you are masturbating quite a bit you can't attain self realisation.

Wow, what a message... totally awesome !

Um, the twitches and facial expressions are actually signs of a totally sane person. If everyone were in fact sane, that is were in fact in touch with themselves, they would have these kinds of facial expressions. They are beautiful.

All of you people are so funny, trying so hard to figure out what is going on in the video, his facial expressions, if he is on drugs, or whether or not hes insane. It only speaks to the amount of fear that it is in your heart, why can't you be satisfied with a beautiful teaching the universe has had the grace to present you with? I guess you're all just so caught up in your own drama, its sad

@computermaster Yah, the modern assumption that excessive masturbation is good, simply because of one over-published study about how older men who masturbate less have lower prostate cancer rates, is potentially dangerous, as it undermines thousands of years of traditional consensus that transcends many cultures. Those excruciating lustful thoughts that come to surface that make you horny is feedback you should be reflecting on, not ignoring through masturbation.

Another hippie poser fag. More evilish than anything divine, the smile and eye contact make it clear to those who aren't easily impressed.

[duckotaco]

WTF are the twitches and out of place smiles. Drugs? Schizophrenia? Lies?

I agree about following your own body, but there is something called discipline and acquired taste, too. One should find a balance bewteen the two. Sometimes restriction 'a 'la Gandhi IS good. Otherwise Gandhi would have not practised it.

I can think of nothing nobler than a chaste and sensitive individual who acknowledges that chastity and sensitiveness are not for everyone. I'm a little sad after watching this video; I feel as if I just met the best campfire talk companion I'm never going to have. Whatever you're doing now, I hope it's blissful.

i respect u and i have to disagree with you on eating meat. i dont think that you can become a spiritual person and kill animals or allow them to be killed. Brother i am a hispanic male in the bible belt. i am the only vegetarian in may family if i can u have no excuse not to. eating meat is giving into killing that is the danger. dont make the mistake that thinking it will be easy. u seem to just say to give into your desires.why not exercise your higher facalties and expand your mind not ur..

when you are alone you see the back end of a deer you might get thoughts. Priests they claim are suposed to be celibate. The beautiful woman confesses her vaginas throbs because her husband does not perform oral sex on her and his penis is small. The Priest reaches down and grabs his massive manhood which at this point is throbbing. If he can hold back from giving this woman the pleasure she desires, then he has willpower more than a crack addict turning down crack.
