I'm not certain how this fits in here but what you said, above, broguth this to mind. There are many stories in various aspects of the vedic literature, probably the puranas, of these guys who go off to the forest, practice celibacy, and other forms or austerities for many years, build up great spiritual reserve, get boons granted to them, then some celestial nymph comes along and tempts them and in one moment they lose all the spiritual potency they took so long to achieve. ------------------------ Yahoo!
