What happens when I experience distractions during celibacy practice?

outcome
"Distractions during celibacy are not the fault of external forces but a reflection of your own repression; embrace awareness and honesty to transform energy instead of allowing it to turn against you."
According to Osho, distractions in celibacy are the natural fallout of repression: when you force an unnatural vow, the mind ‘wobbles’ and eventually explodes into fantasies and lapses. Don’t blame Indra, women, or circumstances; the disturbance is your own suppression. Recognize this, drop compulsive forcing, and move with awareness and honesty so energy remains integrated instead of turning against you.
If you clamp down on your nature, your mind rebels—and it’s on you, not others.
