Transform lust into love
Lust is one of the main botherations that many face. Lust grips the mind, tires the body and dulls the intellect. Lust when indulged brings inertia, and when suppressed brings anger. Lust is nothing but primordial unharnessed energy.
The same, when harnessed, manifests as enthusiasm, sparkle, sharpness of intellect and love. What are the factors which can sublimate or transform lust into love?
1. Playfulness — People who are in the grip of lust cannot he genuinely playful. When you are genuinely playful, then there is no lust.
2. Generosity — When you realize that you are here only to give and give, and you feel that you are very generous, then lust is sublimated. Lust makes one possessive and not generous.
3. Moderate to small intake of food.
4. Remembrance of death.
5. Divine romance.
6. Cold water baths.
7. Undertaking creative challenges.
