Ascetics. There are different ways to understand asceticism. Ascetics come from different philosophical and religious backgrounds. Perhaps the best way is to focus on desire. We all constantly are awash in desires. We may want pleasure, wealth, popularity, power, health, serenity, or any number of such goods. The usual strategy people use with respect to desire is to try to obtain whatever they want and to avoid whatever they do not want. This strategy does not work well. Even if we obtain what we desire, we soon want something else. It's like being on a treadmill and going nowhere. It's really being a slave to our desires. Ascetics reverse the normal position. Instead of seeking what they desire, they instead seek its opposite! Obviously, this has never been a popular position. Because the usual strategy doesn't work well, ascetics adopt its opposite. The problem is that it's too extreme a reaction. If, for example, you never eat when you are hungry, it's true that you will soon be free from your hunger--but only because you are dead! Therefore, a middle path is the most likely route to take to achieve freedom.

An Arahant (or Arahat as it is more commonly known) is someone who has become enlightened, but through the help of someone else, i.e. they could not achieve enlightenment on their own.

For example, after the Buddha first became enlightened, he taught the five ascetics that followed him about how he himself had become enlightened, and after hearing these teachings, the ascetics in turn became enlightened, but they had not done so through their own meditation etc.

The root word in Sufiyana is Sufi. Sufiyana is in reference to Sufis (Muslim ascetics) that practice Sufism.

Sufism is a science whose objective is the reparation of the heart and turning it away from all else but God.

To say "Mera ishq Sufiyana" then, would mean, my love is as pure and true as God and not consumed with feelings and body-conscious, earthly declarations from the heart.

There is no definitive historical evidence to confirm whether Aryabhatta, the ancient Indian mathematician and astronomer, was a vegetarian. Historical texts and records from his time do not explicitly mention his dietary preferences. However, given the cultural context of ancient India, where many scholars and ascetics adhered to vegetarianism for philosophical or religious reasons, it is possible that he may have followed a vegetarian diet. Ultimately, his dietary habits remain speculative.

The father of western monasticism is considered to be St Anthony of Egypt, who was born in the 3rd century. He was the son of wealthy parents and inherited their money when he was only 20 years of age. However, he did not care for possessions and for 15 years went to live with various ascetics who lived on the outskirts of towns. At the age of 35 he went to live a solitary life in the desert near the present day Der el Memum. He gained a reputation for wisdom and holiness, attracting several people who wanted him to form a community of ascetics. In 305AD, the group formed what may be called the first Christian monastery with Anthony as its first leader (abbot - a derivation of the word 'abba' meaning 'father', or more accurately 'daddy'). In around 340AD, 2 of Anthony's disciples brought monasticism to Europe. Check out these websites: http://newadvent.org/cathen/01553d.htm http://newadvent.org/cathen/10459a.htm

In Hinduism, monks may follow specific paths like sannyasa or take up vows as ascetics, while in Buddhism, monks follow the monastic code and teachings of the Buddha. Ultimately, the designation of a monk as Hindu or Buddhist depends on their religious affiliation and the tradition they follow.

Unlike monkeys and parrots, cats aren't actually known for imitative behavior, but the term is somewhat logical since "cat" has been an insult since the medieval period. Cats were associated with all sorts of evil and mischief. In an early-13th-century monastic guidebook for female monks called Ancrene Riwle, for instance, the anonymous author warns ascetics against becoming "cats of hell."
