Asuri,
If you read carefully, it is “eventually” possible to evaporate desires as a pre-requisite to higher spiritual practices.
Secondly, you are pre-determined in “not buying” and easily judging that it’s “just talk”. Amusing.
Have you reached “eventually” yet?
No. Thanks for asking.
I think what is very ironic Suhas is this gentleman Asuri has a web site on Samkhya-Yoga giving translations of the Yogasutras and talking about Samhya-Yoga philosophy, and yet, he fails to understand the very basic principle of Yoga is to eradicate all thoughts and desires(chit vritti nirodha) He claims this is a misinterpretation and what Patanjali is saying that we simply should control desires not eradicate them, despite the fact that I have pointed out to him 10 different translations of this verse which state otherwise.
I had a discussion with him in the past and it became blatantly clear he did not know what Purusha and Prakriti was, and had again taken free licence to translate them as he wanted.
He obviously wants to believe what he wants to believe. The misfortune is he is spreading wrong information online.
I will keep this information as non-explicit as I can in respect of the readers. I just recently had sex about 3 times in a day within the space of a few hours and I ejaculated each time. At the end of the day I felt terrible. I felt a definite effect on my consciousness, my nervous system seemed shaken up, and I was very fatigued. So strong was the impact, that I have decided to observe celibacy for at least a month now.
It is making sense to me now that it is not natural to lose our vital fluids so often. Swami Sivananda brings up a good point, even some animals have better control over the sex desire than we do.

I rest my case.
[QUOTE=Suhas Tambe;35280] Instead a very long, patient and conscious Yoga-Sadhana is recommended so that one would work on the “causes” and not the “effects”.
If you work on the desires and develop a relaxed indifference to the provocative triggers so that a need to satiate them does not arise, it is Yoga.
