lure of chastity II

In some fundamental ways the brahmacarin and the sissy maid have come to chastity by very different paths. The ascetic road to chastity is based upon a renunciation of the sensual. Sensual and particularly sexual gratification are avoided so that the mind may be concentrated upon an eternal and changeless state. in tantric traditions, the sensual is not turned from, but rather sublimated. The devotee does not turn so much as the experience is turned. This later path is said to be riddled with lures and traps by which the devotee is brought low, succombing to the power of Kama, and reduced to a sensualist.
The sissy maid comes to chastity in order to concentrate the submissive mind upon the tasks which must be accomplished, the pleasure and service of the Mistress. Allowed sexual gratification, the maid is said to be intent only on their own pleasure, and then when satisfied turned away in shame or indifference, ready for the next distraction. Chastity with the enforced end to the cycle, concentrates the mind in that state where self gratification begins; in concentration upon the beauty and authority of Mistress. Perhaps our saucy little maid has been lured by Kama to this state of surrender and now they are helpless to undo it. Yet both have opened the gate, to devi's entrance, and do not each on a full moon night lying in their solitary beds felt the tingle and the hum. And that which is beyond words, and which does not reveal itself in pictures, Kameshvari, the Queen of desire. I prostate myself before her and all her manifestations.
