Brahmacharya: Non excess 5

Bramacharya is most commonly used to describe sexual purity, celibacy.  This has also been a struggle for me; not that I believe that abstinence is my path, but I do have an ideal.  The yogic practice of the Yamas and the Niyamas are about setting an ideal, and trying to live by that ideal.  These practices are not something that we will ever do perfectly; like the Steps, we do perfectly that which we must do perfectly, and do our best with the rest.
