________________ 4. CELIBACY (BRAHMACHARYA) Did I practice celibacy? (to stay in my Self) in thought? in word? in action? Was I lustful? (dwell on sensuality) Did I encourage or appreciate lustfulness in others? Did I waste energy on sexual fantasies? Did I use my sexual energies to manipulate others? (e.g. flirting) Meditate on insincerity. 5. NON-POSSESSIVENESS (APARIGRAHA) Was I non-acquisitive or non-possessive? in thought? in word? in action? Did I encourage or appreciate acquisition and possessiveness in others? Do I have things around that I am not using - am I collecting or hoarding? Did I buy something today that I do not need? Meditate on greed and jealousy. For Private & Personal Use Only www.yjf.org.uk 31 Six Colour Stains on Soul (Leshyaas): Black, Blue, Gray, Pink, Yellow, White.
