Significance of self-control

Significance of self-control

There is a great injustice being done to the youth at present time. They face attacks from all sides, which is sex stimulating.

On one side, animalistic sexual instincts drag them to wanton sex-pleasures; the permissive society encourages them to become libertine. If these base instincts are supported by the scientists who assert that self-control is harmful to health and when so called Gurus also start preaching "From sex to super conscious”, on the basis of the science of corruption founded by misleading psychoanalyst like Freud, then God alone can save the celibacy of the youth and chastity of the married couples.

Lack of self-control gives rise to diseases. The western world has suffered moral and ethical degradation by following the Freudian psychology. It is clearly observed in statistical data. Population of India is three times that of U.S.A. Yet, consumption of drugs in U.S.A. is 10 times that in India. In New York City, a ten-year study, Mental Health in metropolis, claimed that approximately 80 per cent of adults showed some symptoms of Mental illness, with one in four actually impaired.

(Srole, Leo, Langer, Thomas, et al, Mental health in Metropolis, The midtown Manhatton Study.)

Freudian psychoanalysts failed to give any solution to the problem of suppressing desires. So the people alarmed of getting mental disorders, continued to satisfy their desires even by illegal means. This in turn increased the incidence of crimes. On an average one case of rape is recorded per six seconds and about 2 million cases of pre-marietal pregnancy are recorded every year in U.S.A. Teenage pregnancy is a burning problem of U.S.A. Pre-marital sex is common in U.S. because they advocate free sex. As a result of that they compare the sexual gratification after marriage with the previous pre-marital experiences and when they find it less, they ask for divorce.

About 65% of marriages result in divorce. As they have violated the nature's law of self-control, they suffer from sexually transmitted diseases. The most horrible is AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which is spreading like an epidemic. The family life is disturbed by internal conflicts, dissatisfaction and rage. The social life is full of chaos, terror, insecurity and arrogance. This is not caused by poverty or lack of materials. The U.S. has 4 % of the world's population. They have made provisions for 40 % of the global material productions (like cars, TVs etc.). Yet the criminal tendency is so high that one case of burglary is recorded per ten seconds. There are 425 prisoners per one lakh population whereas there are only 23 prisoners per one lakh population in Indian jails. In U.S.A. 14 million cases of crime were recorded by the police department during the year 1992. This is because the people under the influence of Freudian psychology try to satisfy all desires (not only sexual). The social life is degraded. Unchecked criminal tendencies lead to chaos, terror and insecurity.

Dr. Freud called desire as 'sexual instinct' or 'libido'. Dr. Jung refuted this theory and described this desire as the creative energy'. Wide "Modern man in search of soul" Professor Adler differed from Freud attributing less importance to sexual factors. He broke away in 1912.

Though Freud has been severely denounced for his sexual obsession by eminent psychologists Adler and C.G.Jung, his followers are misguiding the youth even this day. A few unthoughtful philosophers of India have preached the same school of Freudian psychology in guise of religious discourses titled, "From sex to superconscious", which has misled many people. Freud, being an atheist, supported his theory on study of some cases of hysteria and kindred patients but the socalled philosopher has misled even religious people from self-control to unrestricted & illegal sex by extending spiritual support to licentiousness in his discourses, "From sex to superconscious". Sex undoubtedly leads to spiritual downfall (self-destruction). Self-control is essential to attain superconscious. Now this principle is accepted by western psychologists. They have realised the superiority of Indian psychology over the western psychology. The school of analytical psychology founded by Dr. Carl Gustav Jung must be appreciated. He disowned the materialistic view of Freud and he arrived at a view of man, which took proper account of the mystical side. Many ordinary people became great yogis, by following the principles of Indian psychology founded by sage Patahjali, many are treading this path and many will follow it even in future to become great yogis, but we have not seen even a single person who followed the teachings of "From sex to super conscious" and attained Samadhi. We have seen some of them suffering from mental disorders.

Child psychiatrist Stilia Chess of New York University says, "Freud obviously experienced oedipal lust. He then suffered the delusion that his abnormality was normal and universal."

Ernest Jones has called this single-idea-obsession, which leads Freud to extrapolate his own feelings on to all humanity in the case of the oedepal theory.

During his self-analysis, Freud learnt of his oedepal love towards his mother, attractive Amalie. It was first aroused as a boy when he took an overnight train trip with her from Leipzig to Vienna. "I must have had the opportunity of seeing her nudum", he guessed. As a youth, young Freud exhibited unusual behaviour. At the age of seven he walked into his parent’s bedroom and intentionally urinated on the floor. He felt passion and jealousy against his father.

Freud said, "These feelings of love for the parent of opposite sex and hostility to the parent of same sex begin at the age of three years and remain in subconscious mind throughout the life. With boys to beget a child from mother is never absent. Suppression of sex desires causes nervous diseases like neurosis and psychological maldevelopment."

What a disgustible and ridiculous theory this is! A male child desiring sexual union with his mother? Even birds and animals enter into sex-life after puberty, when their sexual organs are well developed. How can a young child have sexual craving when he is physiologically immature and psychologically unaware of sexual desires? How could the innocent child come to know of the sexual involvement of parents? How can he develop hostility to his father?

Freud says, "The infants first sexual feelings are stirred at his mother's breast... suckling of the child at the mother's breast is the model for every (sexual) relation."

If this were true, the child would never wean breast-feeding. He would continue intensifying his desire till adulthood. How could this be possible'? Adler had come to disbelieve Freud's sexual theories including infantile sexuality.

Now these Freud's ills are advancing towards India through multinational T.V. channels in a big way. It is time to alert us before our young generation becomes victim of the situation.

Therefore, the people who wish to save mankind particularly the young generation from undergoing devilish transformation, wish the youth to possess vibrant physical health, cheerfulness of mind and sharp intelligence, want to save the people of our nation from the dreaded disease of AIDS, and want to build a healthy society should come out to propagate the message Of self-Control, self-restraint, chastity and celibacy to the young people in the Society.

Thousands of devotees distribute books like 'Yauvan Suraksha' ('The Secret of Eternal Youth') and 'Yoga Yatra-4' among schools, colleges and society for the layman's benefit.
