     Remember, to translate Brahmacharya as "celibacy" is not right.

      The word Brahmacharya simply means living like a god, living with the experience of the 'Brahma', the absolute, living meditatively. If I am to translate Brahmacharya I Will translate it as "the life of meditation".

      Meditation brings a kind of celibacy, but not vice versa. Repressing your desires and destroying your desires is not the way of celibacy, because if you repress your desires you will remain hung-up with them. Whatsoever is repressed, you have to repress it again and again and again, and whatsoever is repressed, you have to sit on it continuously; otherwise there is fear — if you move somewhere else, it may bubble up again. Repression can never bring freedom. Repression makes you a slave. Repress anything, and that will become your master.

@Prabhaker I'm not repressing my desires, but I'm not indulging my impulses either. I'm  living consciously.
