This is the second part to the question asked- Can the base energies like (sexual energies) be channelized into something higher which can make geniuses out of people? Is it possible to stop
the sexual thoughts with brute force? Does practicing kechari mudra convert one's sexual energy into a higher energy?
[Are Certain Kinds of Thoughts Immoral]
Om Swami says that if one’s energies are invested in something worthwhile and if a person’s free time was filled up with something beautiful, then, sexual thoughts will not bother them. Any thought which makes a person feel guilty will only weaken their consciousness he says. To get control over one’s thought a person needs to be stronger than their thoughts. Any intruding thought entering a person’s mind without their permission needs looking into as it takes a person further away from their goal, says Om Swami. He further says that eating sattvik food can help a person up to a certain extent, and if one accepts themselves the way they are, without battling themselves, then, they can rapidly grow spiritually.
