How Nofab is different from Brahmacharya?

By Prem Kaithwas


When you are practicing self-control and ways to improve your life you might have wondered why my life is at the pit in the first place? Then the answer is, not taking the ownership of your life. Doing things whenever you feel like it. Here comes the answer: SELF-CONTROL

Whether you are practicing nofab or  brahmacharya, I want to congratulate you for stepping into things that are good for you and your health. So what is the difference?

In simple words nofab is step 1 on the level of self-control and brahmacharya is level 10. 

Lets dive deep into this terms to understand each on better.

Nofab

Any man or woman practicing nofab will stay away from sexual activities and control there urge for any kind of sexual activities with the help of there inner will only, that is tough I would say. 

In order to stay pure they will seek online advice and find some mentor to guide them. Eventually they will find out that they have to keep themselves engaged into something to burn there energy otherwise it would be directed downwards that towards loosing there vitality.

The main goal while performing nofab is to keep yourself away from sexual activities, anything other than sexual is allowed I would say. 

Brahamacharya

Brahamacharya is much more than just controlling the sexual urge and living a restraint life.

Anything you experience in this life time comes to you through your senses. Your eyes let you see, your ears let you hear, your nose let you smell, your skin let you touch, your tongue let you taste.

All this time while you are awake you are constantly making choices what to see, hear, taste, touch and smell.

Something that you choose to see, hear, taste, touch and smell might give you pleasure.

Abstinence from seeing, hearing, tasting, touch and smelling things that give you pleasure is brahmacharya.

For example,

You see a beautiful woman or man somewhere and you feel like your heart is at peace and dissolving as you see this woman/man, you might want see that person again. STOP! Here just by looking at a beautiful woman/man you feel pleasure. Stoping yourself right there at the first time you saw that man/woman is brahmacharya.

Your friend invited you at a party for some good reason may be your friend is getting married and you wish good for him/her they found the one. Now comes the best part about the party THE FOOD. Everything is so delicious that you want to eat it all. You taste some dish and you liked it and you are having it, your mind tells you its enough now just stop eating then the second thought comes its your friend's marriage he/she is not getting married daily lets eat a little more STOP! here just eating as much you need and keeping the taste aside is brahmacharya.

This goes same for all your senses. Not being a slave to pleasure is Brahmacharya.

You are not indulging in pleasure while you are having sex just for pleasure but you are indulging in pleasure everytime you over do things just for pleasure.

Overcoming these animalistic behaviour is brahmacharya. In simple words abstinenace from pleasure of anykind is brahmacharya.

how to stop thinking about work?

By Prem Kaithwas
Are you on a vacation but can't stop thinking about your work? You might be a responsible person but that is not the reason you are thinking about it. Your routine is changed recently and you are in a new environment that is new to you. We are people of habits and actions.  Get away with the tools you use for your work or things that get your brain to work on. Your mobile, your laptop, camera or anything that trigger you to open it and check something or do something because you do not have anything to do. What could go wrong when you will be back on work. This thing is most common and reveals that you are scared of something or someone. Know that thing is important because you are giving it importance may be more than your health, your relationships and things that are actually important. Exercise is important but not always, drinking water is important but not always so work is important but not always. What you've chosen is to take a break, make sure that you are taking a br...

The Secret to Producing More Time in Your Life: 6 Core Time Management Principles

By Prem Kaithwas
The Secret to Producing More Time in Your Life: 6 Core Time Management Principles Inspired by Dr. Sudhir Dixit’s "Time Management" | By Prem Kaithwas Some years back, I often said, “I wish I had more time .” I used to start my day full of energy, but by evening, I’d feel drained and incomplete — like I did a lot, but didn’t actually move forward. This feeling is common when you haven't mastered personal time management . Then I read Dr. Sudhir Dixit’s seminal book on Time Management. One line from it fundamentally changed how I looked at everything: “You can’t manage time. You can only manage yourself within time.” And it clicked. We all get the same 24 hours. The difference between those who create something meaningful and those who feel stuck isn’t a matter of time — it’s a matter of clarity and self-management . 1. Slow Down to Move Faster: The Power of Deep Work There was a phase where I’d open my laptop, start coding, reply to a few messages, then check something ra...
