Five minutes here.
A clearer head for the day.

The silent addiction in men that no one dares to talk about is also one of the most energy draining source. The very thing that can make or break a man is going the drain, literally.

If you are man, you already know what I am talking about. This one has the potential energy to create something amazing. Holding it within yourself has a lot of meaning. 

Also the very reason that some people glow with energy, a halo of kinds, while others do not. The worst part is it is not only going down the drain, but the quality is going down too.

Imagine a man, who is functional and successful. He wakes up, goes to work, meets his targets, comes home. He loves his family. He considers himself a decent person.
But there is a private ritual. It happens late at night mostly — sometimes during the day when he is alone. Post the ritual, a quiet shame.
He tells himself it is harmless. Normal. Everyone does it. It means nothing. And it continues. This man is not weak. He is not broken. He is simply caught in the trap.

This ritual exploits the most ancient, the most powerful, the most basic drive a man possesses - the drive to reproduce.

I am not naming the ritual purposefully in a public domain. If you get it, you get it.

Now this is pure experience and I am sure there is a lot of research around this. Over a period of time, the same stimulus produces less and less response. The intensity is not as it was before. So you need more content, more push, more and more only to eventually produce less quantity and less quality.

And the connection with that private ritual of his is never established. Because that is so private, no one dares to discuss it in the open.

And the only solution to this is to walk in alignment with the creative force of the universe. It is the conscious alignment with one’s higher purpose.

Would you spend unconsciously and reason it out as if it is normal, everyone does it and no one needs to know about it.

So what do you do? Your brain changes through replacement, not suppression. If you are never left alone, always busy into your projects, you tend to loose interest in this ritual.

The nueral pathway weakens and a stronger pathway is built alongside it.

The ancient wisdom never said "don't do this." 

It always said— "direct this energy here instead."

Towards sadhana. Towards physical discipline. Towards seva. Towards creative work. Towards building something that outlasts you.

The energy does not disappear when you conserve it. It transforms.

To the Man Who Is Reading This and Recognising Himself. I see you. Not with judgment but with compassion. For you and me are caught in the trap. You like me, have awareness now.

And awareness — as I have said before in this series — is always where transformation begins.
