Brahmacarya. Most people associate this yama with celibacy or not having what we want in the this life, having to do without, depriving ourselves, sacrificing, etc. But this is not really what it means. When we bring Brahmacarya into our lives, it does not mean living a life without passion. It's quite the opposite. When we practice moderation, we have balance. When we have balance, the gateway opens for passion.

WOW! You know I love to share when I run across something spectacular. And here it is:
Stunning. Just stunning.
By paying attention to the way you feel, and then choosing thoughts that feel the very best, you are managing your own vibration, which means you are controlling your own point of attraction -- which means you are creating your own reality. It's such a wonderful thing to realize that you can create your own reality without sticking your nose in everybody else's, and that the less attention you give to everybody else's reality, the purer your vibration is going to be -- and the more you are going to be pleased with what comes to you.

Your happiness is the most significant contribution that you could make. In your reaching for happiness, you are opening a vortex which makes you an avenue for the Well-being to flow through you. And anything that is your object of attention under those conditions, benefits by the infusion of your Well-being.
--- Abraham
Asteya literally means non-stealing. You can also find this meaning in the 10 commandments. The 8th commandment is "Thou Shalt Not Steal." Obviously we know not to steal. Let us explore, however, the deeper meaning of what it means not to steal. As you know, I write a lot. I experience tremendous joy when I write. But note that I quote some of my favorite authors quite a bit. For example, I happen to love Richard Freeman.
In regards to the more subtle meaning of Asteya Richard writes, "...such as not plagiarizing ideas without giving credit for them. It means not accumulating for yourself the things that do not really belong to you, not being a phony, not holding onto the things that ultimately are not yours. It even applies to the things that come into the sphere of our influence, for example, physical property---a house we might own---which ultimately must be seen as impermanence like all else..."
