📽️ How to Control Lust? | 1-Minute Wisdom by Swami Chinmayananda Ji

In this profound 1-minute excerpt from the timeless teachings of Pujya Swami Chinmayananda, we are given an invaluable spiritual lesson on how to rise above lust, one of the most powerful and difficult emotions to master. With his characteristic wit, clarity, and unshakable grounding in Vedantic wisdom, Swamiji helps us understand the true meaning of self-control and how it leads us to the real freedom every seeker longs for.

🟡 “Lust is natural in every mind,” Swamiji begins. Whether human or animal, this eternal urge arises from the depths of biological instinct. But what sets a human being apart from an animal is not the presence of desire, but the ability to govern and transform it.

🧠 The Human Dilemma: Desire vs. Discrimination
In our journey through life, desires arise naturally—especially those rooted in the body and mind. Lust, in particular, is often misunderstood, misdirected, or suppressed in ways that cause psychological conflict and spiritual stagnation.

Swamiji reminds us that freedom is not the license to express every impulse. In fact, such expression without awareness is what animals do instinctively. When humans behave in the same way, we are not exercising freedom—we are enslaved to our lower instincts.

The true glory of being human lies in our ability to use our buddhi (intellect) to examine our thoughts, question our desires, and decide whether an action is aligned with our dharma, our own welfare, and the welfare of society.


🔥 Lust in Hindu Philosophy: More Than Just Desire
In the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 3, Verse 39), Lord Krishna says:

“Avritam jñānam etena jñāninah nitya-vairina
kāma-rūpena kaunteya duspūrena anālenā cha.”

“Knowledge is covered by this constant enemy of the wise—lust, which is insatiable and burns like fire.”

Swami Chinmayananda often quoted this verse to explain that lust is not a sin, but a misunderstood force. It is the perverted expression of love, distorted by ego and attachment. When left unchecked, it clouds our wisdom and destroys our peace. But when recognized and transcended through viveka (discrimination) and vairagya (dispassion), it becomes fuel for inner growth.

🌱 Rising Above Instinct: From Animal to Divine
Every spiritual seeker must learn to observe the mind without judgment, recognizing when lust arises. It’s not about guilt or repression, but about understanding that these urges are natural phenomena—and we have the power to transform them.

Swamiji often explained that the path of evolution is a gradual refinement:

Animal (Pashu) → driven by instinct

Human (Manushya) → capable of choice

Divine (Daiva) → one who lives in awareness of the Self

Thus, controlling lust is not just moral restraint—it is evolutionary progress, a necessary step on the path to Self-realization (Atma Bodha).

🧘‍♂️ How to Practice Self-Control in Daily Life
Swami Chinmayananda’s teachings are always practical. Here are 5 steps inspired by his Vedantic approach to overcoming lust and mastering the senses:

Observe, don’t react – When lust arises, don’t suppress it, but watch it like a witness.

Question it with Viveka – Ask: Will this bring lasting happiness or temporary pleasure?

Redirect the energy – Channel that powerful emotion into creative, devotional, or service-based action.

Engage in daily Sadhana – Japa, meditation, and study of scriptures (svadhyaya) build inner strength.

Seek Satsang and Guidance – Associating with the wise helps us stay grounded and inspired.
