Lust?

[Ocdperson]

So I uploaded a topic similar to this but I am still confused. So let’s get to the point, people say looking at videos of attractive females is lust because your not thinking about Naam and that your forgot my Naam. But aren’t we forgetting Naam when we take a school test or when we watch a movie. Because technically we are really focused on the test in school or the movie we are watching, so isn’t that technically lust too? When you take a test in school , the test take all your awareness towards it. Even when you watch a movie, the movie takes all your awareness too but people don’t consider both of these things lust, but they consider watching attractive females videos lust. Watching attractive females and watching a movie both do the same thing, they take your awareness away. So aren’t they both lust. Is watching videos of attractive females in moderation  lust? Is masturbating in moderation lust?  Because they are no different awareness wise than watching a movie or taking a test . No disrespect, I’m just confused.

We should always remember Naam. 

Sometimes you have to take a test and Jaap Naam. Tests are okay to take sometimes. Unavoidable. 

Looking at pornography for lust is never condoned suggested or prescribed. Totally avoidable.

Lust: intense or unbridled sexual desire

Do you have a sexual desire to take a test? If not then it's not lust. If taking a test or watching a movie makes you forget Waheguru, then it is maya.

I would think that taking a test would actually make you remember Waheguru cause u want a good grade lol

Now that you know the difference between maya and lust, know that lust is a form of maya and is much harder to get rid of. It, along with anger, ego, greed, and attachment and known as the 5 thieves and it has an aftereffect leading you to forget about Waheguru even when you have the time to. It will become an addiction and you will try and rationalize it over and over again.
