🚦Some Practical Pointers by Swami Sivananda to Stop That Lustful Look:
1. Recognise the atma/soul in her (is of the same essence as you & the Lord). Bring the image of Lord into your Mind & do Japa.
2. If she is old, treat her as your mother; if she is young, as your sister; and if very young, as your child.
3. Whenever the mind runs towards attractive women with lustful thoughts, have a definite clear-cut photo in the mind of the flesh, bone, urine, faecal matter & perspiration of which women are composed. This will induce disgust & Vairagya in the mind. You will never again commit the sin of unchaste look at a woman. It takes some time, no doubt. Ladies also can practice the foregoing method & keep a mental picture of men in just the same Swami Sivananda says that even sometimes for a liberated sage, his eyes might move towards the objects through the force of habit but since he has no sex idea, he can withdraw them completely.
❓Where to look❓
👉🏼 When you walk on the road, do not look hither and thither like a monkey. Look at the tip of your right big toe/nose/ground & walk gently with a Gambhir (serious) attitude.
❓Upon failure❓
👉🏼 If you are unable to do this & find your looks straying up to a woman with lustful purpose, raise in your mind the image of a corpse or a skeleton or wrinkled, diseased old woman & keep it till you are filled with disgust. This will enable you to succeed finally in subduing passion.
❗ Everything screams for your attention
👁️👁️ Most of the input comes through the eyes
❗Remember : Mental ReTraining will take time but only if you put in consistent efforts. Again & again generate the currents of dispassion & discrimination.
You may fail a hundred times but continue this practice!
Stick to your practice tenaciously.
You are bound to succeed eventually.
