रेतो नावकिरेज्जातु ब्रह्मव्रतधरः स्वयम्।
अवकीर्णेऽवगाह्याप्सु यतासुस्त्रिपदां जपेत् ॥
“ These days, A man has degraded himself to a great degree by becoming the puppet of passion and lust.
He has become an imitative machine. He has lost his power of discrimination.
He has sunk into the most abject form of slavery of lust in his life.
What a sad state!!
If he wishes to regain his lost divine state and Brahmic glory, his whole being must be transformed, his sex desire must be completely changed BY the divine thoughts and regular meditation on the Lord.
Transformation of the sex desire to the Self Realization / God Realization’s desire, is a very potent, efficacious and satisfactory way to realize the eternal bliss in this very lifetime.
How lust is root cause of the crimes ?
Read the history of the crimes –
- Robbery
- Rapes
- Kidnapping
- Assaults
- Murders – that come up for trial before the Sessions Courts.
Lust is at the root of all this. It may be lust for money or lust for carnal pleasure.
Lust ruins life, lustre, strength, vitality, memory, wealth, fame, holiness, peace, wisdom and devotion.
In our Today’s generation only the so-called man who has degraded himself much by indulgence in the lust. At the heat of sexual excitement, a person repeats the same ignoble act again and again. He has not a bit of self-control.
He is an absolute slave to passion.
He is a puppet in the hands of passion.
Like rabbits he procreates and brings forth countless children to swell up the numbers of beggars in the world. Lions, elephants, bulls and other powerful animals have better self-control than men.
Lions cohabit only once in a year. After conception, the female animals will never allow the male animals to approach them till the young ones are weaned and they themselves become healthy and strong.
Man ( a person of this age ) only violates the laws of nature and consequently suffers from innumerable diseases.
He has degenerated to a level far lower than that of animals in this respect.
brahmacharya - a bless!
- As a king is no king without a treasury, subjects and an army,
- As a flower is no flower without fragrance,
- As a river is no river without water,
- So also, A man is no man without Brahmacharya.
- Ahara ( Eating ),
- Nidra ( Sleeping )
- Bhaya ( Fear )
- Maithuna ( Mating ) are common to both animals and men.
That which differentiates a man from an animal is Dharma, Viveka and Vichara Shakti.
Jnana and Vichara can be secured only by the preservation of Veerya ( semen ).
If a man has not got these qualifications, he should really be reckoned as a veritable animal only.
If lust ( which is the so called enjoyment ) stopped to exists, then all worldly bondage, which has its pressure in our minds, will also stop to exist in our life.
Even the most virulent poison is no poison when compared to lust. You are a slave of passions and desires, emotions and attractions. When are you going to rise up from this miserable state? When?
- If you do not possess Viveka ( intelligence ),
- If you do not try your best for salvation ( moksha ),
- If you spend your lifetime in eating, drinking and sleeping, you are a horizontal being only, having to learn some lessons from those animals, which possess far more self-restraint.
understanding the importance of brahmacharya ?
It is a wonder to see people jump willingly into the very cesspool of sexuality life after life after life.
People are really stuck in the refuse and are yearning for escape but cannot find the way out.
For these who really want a release from this suffering, the below discussions becomes
the exclusive and guaranteed key to total liberation…..
Let’s try to understand it from the Most Frequent Questions. that everyone should have in their mind about the Brahmacharya.
Question: For what benefits should one practice brahmacharya?
Answer: If you get hurt here on this arm and you start bleeding, why do you do everything to stop the bleeding? What is the benefit? & What would happen if you do bleed excessively ?
The body will become weak.
So it is with Abrahmacharya (incontinence of sexual impulses), the body becomes weak. All the diseases in the body are due to abrahmacharya.
Yogurt is not the end product of milk. Yogurt is converted to cream, which is finally converted to butter. Similarly, all that you eat and drink, the air you breathe, results in a final product, which is the essence of the body.
Brahmacharya is the ultimate essence of this complex of intake and output, this living body.
There are two things in this world that one should not waste.
- Money
- Semen.
Money should not be misused ( Seva should be done with the money ) and one should practice brahmacharya as much as possible.
The ultimate extract of our nourishment is semen in our body and it is dissipated and lost in sex or masturbation.
There are certain nerves in the body that help preserve semen and this in turn protects the body from the various diseases. Therefore, brahmacharya should be preserved as much as possible.
Brahmacharya is the best tool for health and spiritual progress.
Question: Is it true that the married people attain real knowledge, atmagnan (आत्मज्ञान) later than those who are not yet married ?
Answer: If a married couple takes a vow of brahmacharya, they will understand the bliss of the Self completely. Otherwise, they cannot understand whether their happiness comes from sexual gratification or from the pure Soul.
Those, who are under the vow of brahmacharya, experience eternal bliss of the Self within. Their mind and body both remain healthy.
Question: Then, is the state of the Self, the same, for the one who is married and the one practicing brahmacharya?
Answer: The person who is under the vow of brahmacharya will never fall, no matter how bad the difficulties. That is called SAFE SIDE.
Brahmacharya is the king of the body. A person practicing brahmacharya has a wonderful mind.
Brahmacharya is the extract of the entire living body.
Does everyone even provide this real understanding of celibacy ?
Vitality is the ultimate extract of all the extracts from the food we eat. If this extract is properly preserved, one can quickly attain the Self. One will be protected from the pains of the world and all bodily ailments.
Brahmacharya is the final balance and extract of the living body.
Without Brahmacharya there is no progress and one will have difficulty in remembering and saying simple sentences of scriptures.
Practicing the Brahmacharya in life, can help one achieve whatever he want to. With Brahmacharya You will be able to follow your vows and commitments. There is ease of further progress in all directions.
Actually, No one has provided a real understanding on the subject of sex, to anybody. That is people themselves are involved in sexuality. The saints and sages are very sincere and that is why they can talk and make people understand it.
That sex and masturbation is poison is not known. If they did know that sex and masturbation is poison, they would stay away from it.
What is the fruit of knowledge ? to stop, cease. One hasn’t known the danger of sex and therefore he does not stop. If there is anything to fear, it is the fear of sexuality. There is no other reason, in this world, where fear is necessary.
Therefore, beware of sex and masturbation just like you would with snakes, scorpions or a tiger.
After earning merit karmas over countless lives, one attains birth in a family with good culture and high moral standing. But all this is lost in pursuit of sex and money!!
So many people has this common question, ‘What is there in sex or masturbation that my whole body feels like death after experiencing the pleasure of sex, my mind dies and my speech dies?’
Actually all these people indulging in sexuality are already dead, but because you
have not awakened to this fact, the same condition occurs again and again. Otherwise if ever brahmacharya is preserved, each human being has so much energy.
Loving Lord Sri Krishna is the ultimate essence of time. This is real awareness that increases the experience of getting more closer to the God. And brahmacharya is the essence of the living body.
The presence of brahmacharya in the mind, the body and the speech results in,
- Wonderful power of mind.
- Wonderful power of body.
- Wonderful power of the speech.
It is a real wonder that humans are stuck in the terrible filth of exploitation of the five senses. It is horrible heap of filth (गंदगी).
The world continues to move in the filth of sex & masturbation, because people do not understand this. If one gives a moment’s thought to this, then one would understand that this truly is a heap of filth.
It is nothing but absolute filth !!!!!!
But people do not think at all. Why are human beings stuck in such dirt? It is because they cannot find a cleaner place (real happiness) anywhere else, therefore they continue to lie in this filth.
It is their ignorance and that is why they remains stuck in this filth. If one tries to, he can understand. He does not even try to understand this.
A spider spins a web and then it gets entangled in its own web. Similarly you, yourself have created this web of entanglement in worldly life. You had asked for it in your previous life. In the receptacle of intellect which you have brought forth in this life, you filled out a tender, a proposal for one wife, two to three rooms, one son, one daughter and a job.
Before leaving the womb, you experience so many terrible suffering within the womb and yet when you grow up, you go back to the womb in the sexual act. Such is the way of this world.
No one has taught us the real thing.
how to overcome the porn addiction / the solutions ?
Adult films, stories and Pictures are the traps developed by the Kaliyuga, to catch you and drag you more into the materialistic and sinful life deeply. These sinful reactions are enough for one to enter into the hells and suffer the deadliest punishments, for not a year but for several thousands of years.
One should also never go near to these pornographic films and get trapped by the Kaliyuga, that will give you repeated births and deaths with painful life.
There is no love in such contents. These actors are acting for money. No love and emotions are there.
You are only helping them to earn more by watching more and more such films.
These actors being involved in the pornographic shoots, are making karma – BAD, which will be liable for the sinful reactions in their THIS LIFE AS WELL AS THE NEXT.
If you watch these filth, you are adding the sinful karma in your account and who gives the guarantee that after watching and adding the bad karmas in your life’s account, you will not be entering into any one of the hells for the sufferings?
Even though leaving the habit of the watching the porn for the first few weeks may seem difficult, but as it is said to adopt any habit one should practice it for atleast 21 days, to form this as a habit of a life, to finally get away from this garbage for the lifetime forever.
Therefore one who watches the porn should not watch it for atleast the 21 days to get a result of leaving it forever ( patience is the key ).
You have to practice Self Determination in Bed early in the morning soon after waking up say to yourself as “ I will cooperate with my body to never lose the semen completely for 21 days. I want my semen & my body to be fully healthy.
Now the mind needs the replacement, in place of the porn, so what should be done in these 21 days ?
Below are the transcendental spiritual habits to adopt in the life on a regular basis ( everyday ) to get the rid of all the negative vibes and negative energy absolutely from the life,
1. As the first step, you should start sincere chanting of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra ( on the neem / wood beads if available ) ,Or Shri Radha Krishna Naam chanting or Shri Ram or Shri Hari Naam chanting, DAILY.
2. Read the writings about Sri Krishna that are abundantly available with us. Be it Bhagavad Gita Or Srimad Bhagavatam or any of Srila Prabhupada books.
When we read more about Sri Krishna, we will automatically develop taste in it. Once you develop taste in Krishna, you will gradually lose interest in these adult contents.
3. In addition to that have a check in your food habits and avoid rajas and tamo guna dominated foods like meat, onion, garlic, coffee, tea, etc. Have vegetables, nuts, milk, grains, etc. after offering them to Lord. Thus, even your food will purify your consciousness.
4. Moreover, our association is extremely important. Be it physical or through internet, the association with the saintly persons should be always there in your life. One spend most of his time in working, studying with highly materialistic people who always discuss about cinema actors, lust, physical beauty, etc. which is a reason for a negative urja in your life.
We can take the help of the internet to hear about the divine talks of Srimad Bhagavatam.
5. You should not remain alone. Always be busy in either some important tasks and when they are done take yourself more into the association of the Satsanga And Kirtana.
Don’t remain idle. An idle mind develops so much of unwanted thoughts.
We have a wonderful literature SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM that speaks everything about Sri Krishna. Srimad Bhagavatam is capable of freeing us from the lusty thoughts and acts. Such a powerful literature we have with us. We can read / hear it as many times as possible. It will never ever bore us.
Day by day, our desires in seeing these ugly and foolish acts and the thoughts related to genitals made up of flesh will go away.
If you really be faithful with all these spiritual activities which a roadway to the mental peace of life, the the master of senses Sri Krishna present as the Paramatma in your heart, will help you with his Kripa Shakti ( merciful glance ) to divert your mind from the garbage stuff to the real happiness of the life.
The only condition is that the above mentioned activities should be practiced regularly, while keeping away our eyes from going there.
As and when the mind even tries its best to go there, YOU with your strongest willpower should be able to escape that thought and YOU becoming the master of your mind ( not its servant ) you should guide it and make it under your control to let it engage in any of the above discussed activities.
Your will-power would makes the things way much easier.
are we developing the attachment for that opposite gender's body who has blood & a pus inside ?
A gentleman once told a jnani ( ज्ञानी ), that he misses his wife when he is at work. What did that ज्ञानी replied?
He replied: You fool! Would you lick pus off her hand, if she developed an abscess? Then, why are you so fascinated by a woman? This whole body is full of pus.
- Have you ever thought about what this body is made of?
- What is present inside of it?
- Is True love really possible with the bodies?
True love is that which never decreases – Which is Only possible with Shyamsundar Shri Krishna. A Selfless & A Desireless LOVE.
The sexual act gratification is nothing but eating garbage ( and that garbage which has already been chewed ). It is what we call – Chewing What Was Already Chewed.
How can this be food for the Soul? The Soul has no hunger, and no need for any external thing.
It is absolutely independent. The whole world is engrossed in an illusionary enjoyment. It is not a real enjoyment. Yet people believe it to be so.
If sexual pleasure was to be analyzed it would lead to severe nausea.
This body turns into ash, and then a new body is formed from the atoms of this same ash. This is the result of ashes from endless and unlimited lives / births of the past. It is NOTHING but REFUSE.
And sex here is the refuse of all refuse. It is the same old ash and the same old atoms merging together.
Even cooking utensils once washed, will look cleaner the next day. But what if you ate in the same utensils over and over without cleaning them? Is that not eating filth?
Say if you ate some delicious pudding, how would it look if it were vomited? Would it look pleasing enough for you to hold it in your hand? Even if the bowl was nice and clean and the pudding was delicious when you ate it. But if it were vomited? NO matter what happens, you would not eat that vomit.
And yet this other vomited stuff called sex or masturbation is taken in again. But this kind of awareness is absent.
THIS IS THE ILLUSION.
If we count from endless number of births, men have always loved women and vice versa, but still the fascination in sex remains. When will this ever end?
Would it not be better if you just love your beloved Priyatam Sri Krishna, that all these difficulties would end?
Brahmacharya should be practiced with understanding. It will make your body good, strong, you would live longer.
Question: My only desire is to attain Brahmacharya. Please give me some strength and understanding for that.
Answer: For that you have to have a deep inner intent. Everyday, you have to say, “Dear Lord Krishna! Give me strength to practice Brahmacharya”.
And you have to get rid of the slightest thought of sex as soon as it arises. If not, a seed of this garbage will be sown. If allowed to remain, after two days it will kill you.
Hence uproot such a thought and get rid of it right away……
Next, make sure that you do not look with sexual thoughts at any woman. ( it requires a long term practice )
If your eyes happen to pull you towards a woman, pull them away from her, and try to see your beloved KRISHNA in all the women, and remember LORD KRISHNA is present in her as a Paramatma ( supersoul ) and ask for forgiveness.
When it continuously remains within that, that any element of sexuality is not worth pursuing then it will all be a clean farm, no seed will sprout. Even now if one stays under Lord Krishna’s shelter, then his goal of brahmacharya will be fully attained.
The one who definitely wants to practice Brahmacharya, must first examine and severely CONTROL his SENSES.
It is amazed at how an intelligent man finds gratification in sex or masturbation? When you analyze sex, it is like scratching an eczematous lesion. It is often to be wondered, is this all we have done in endless lifecycles?
Man has the wrong belief that pleasure exists in sex. Now, if you experience greater happiness and pleasure in something other than sex, then you would not seek pleasure in it.
Otherwise who would knowingly open the lid of a gutter?
If there were happiness in this piece of garbage, Chakravatis (kings of continents) with so many queens, would not have set out in search of real happiness (आत्म साक्षात्कार / Path of Loving God).
With Gnan, Self-realization and by loving Sri Krishna you attain eternal bliss. Still one must think about how filthy and dangerous sexual involvement is.
It is the disease of man to see a woman as a woman.
When there is no such disease we will not see her as a woman but see our beloved master Shri Krishna in his Paramatma swaroop in each and living being…….
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF MY VEERYA ( SEMEN ) ?
The vital energy, the veerya,
- That supports your life
- Which is the prana of pranas
- Which shines in your sparkling eyes
- Which beams in your shining cheeks, is a great treasure for you.
Remember this point well.
Your veerya is the quintessence of blood.
1 drop of semen is manufactured out of 40 drops of blood. Mark here how valuable this fluid is!
A tree draws the essence or rasa from the earth. This essence is circulated throughout the tree, its twigs, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits.
The shining colors and life in the leaves, flowers and fruits are due to this rasa.
Similarly, your veerya that is manufactured by the cells of the testes out of blood gives color and vitality to your body and its different organs.
According to Ayurveda, Semen is the last dhatu that is formed out of food.
- Out of food is manufactured chyle.
- Out of chyle comes blood.
- Out of blood comes flesh.
- Out of flesh comes fat.
- Out of fat comes bone.
- Out of bone comes marrow.
- Out of marrow comes semen.
These are the sapta dhatus or the seven that support your life and body. Mark here how precious is your semen!
It is the last essence.
It is the Essence of essences.
The veerya comes out of the, very marrow that lies concealed inside your bones.
Your Semen is the quintessence of food or blood. One drop of semen in manufactured out of forty drops of blood according to modern medical science. According to Ayurveda, it is elaborated out of eighty drops of blood.
The two testes or seeds that are located in the scrotal bag are called secretory glands. The cells of these testes have been endowed with the peculiar property of secreting semen from the blood.
Just as bees collect honey in the honeycomb drop by drop, so also, the cells of the testes collect semen drop by drop from the blood.
Semen is found in a subtle state in all the cells of the body. Just as sugar is all-pervading in the sugar-cane, butter in milk, so also, semen is pervading the whole body.
Just as the butter milk is thin after the butter is removed, so also, semen is thinned by its wastage.
The more the wastage of semen the more is the weakness.
In the yoga shastras it is said:
मरणं बिन्दु पातेन,
जीवनं बिन्दु धारणात् ,
- Falling of semen brings death.
- Preservation of semen gives life.
Semen is the real vitality in men.
It is the hidden treasure in man.
It imparts Brahmatejas to the face and strength to the intellect.
Virya is the essence of life, thought, intelligence and consciousness. Therefore, preserve this vital fluid very, very carefully.
how does the eye contact & bad association destroys my purity ?
Once there has been eye contact with anyone who arouses impulses of sexuality / opposite gender, you should immediately look away and change the inner visual link and immediately think about Krishna and bring his thoughts and pastimes in your mind. Otherwise the sexual seedling will grow and even when it is tiny it will sow seeds for more thinking of that garbage.
Therefore it is best to eradicate (remove) it when it is a mere sapling.
Stay as far away from the company of those who are likely to trap you in sexuality or masturbation, because if you get trapped even once, you will keep on getting into trap after trap after trap.
You must run as far away from that person as much possible. You would not slip if you leave the place where there are chances of slipping.
In Satsanga, there is no chance of meeting any other people who are of that filthy thoughts. People with the same goal of spiritual progress come together here, do they not?
Eradicate the sexual thought immediately. Do repent for any attraction of a sexual nature.
With these two weapons, Brahmacharya will remain forever.
It is in the nature of the sexual seed, to fall and Reseed itself into a Plant.
The Eyes see all kinds of things and hence Seeds are sown within. These Internal seeds have to be uprooted and removed.
As long as they are in the form of seeds, one has a chance for a cure. Once they sprout and start growing it becomes more and more difficult, and then there is no cure.
The women are not pulling and attracting you. It is your own desire which is pulling and attracting you. Therefore uproot and throw the sexual impulses away and clear the account from your mind.
Just starting a sexual link through Looking is the fault.
Question: I do not like it at all and yet the attraction remains. I continue to experience remorse about it.
Answer: If there is remorse, then it will go away.
How can sexuality remain if you see only the Soul of the person?
Sex occurs when you see anything else except the Soul in that person.
By conquering sex, you have conquered the worldly life, Just as by conquering the King you have conquered the army, kingdom and power.’ You will get everything, the army, the city and the power when you conquer the King.
Question: After acquiring Gnan ( real knowledge ), can I completely get rid of the seeds of sex right away in this life?
Answer: Everything can be done. Wash away the old seeds that already exist, and new seeds will not be sown.
what are the few benefits of practicing the brahmacharya, from the many ?
What are the benefits derived by taking the vow of Brahmacharya and preserving the most precious semen in the body?
1. You will have a wonderful memory, like that of some great saints. You will be able to remember facts well.
2. You will have strong will-power. You will walk like a king or queen. You will find it easy to turn a deaf ear to the taunts of others and will not succumb to peer pressure. You will have the strength to say “no” when friends tempt you to do wrong things.
3. You will have a strong, healthy body which will not fall a prey to diseases easily. It will be able to ward off diseases.
4. Your nervous system will be strong. You will not be afraid of anything. Even if an intruder appears before you, you will not fear. There will be no fear of darkness, thieves or thugs.
5. You will have a charming personality. Brahma Tejas will shine in your face due to practice of Brahmacharya. Physical beauty is nothing compared to the beauty in one who practices Brahmacharya.
We see this in the case of saints, how like a magnet they attract people.
6. You will always progress on the path of virtue and towards God. More love for God will develop in your heart.
7. You will enjoy peace of mind and bliss.
8. Your habits will be pure and noble.
9. You will lead a fruitful life.
10. All those who come in contact with you will be influenced by your radiant personality.
11. Once the semen or vital force is lost, it will not be easy to recoup the same.
Saints say that the semen that is preserved is taken up to the brain where it is stored.
Great personalities utilize this stored up power, called Ojas Shakti, for high and noble purposes, like seeking God, for serving the poor and needy, etc.
Saints accomplish great things mainly through the power of the Ojas Shakti.
The Ojas Shakti is indeed a marvellous power.
A beginning phase - starting the practice of brahmacharya, with staying away from the sex / masturbation.
By not getting involved in the sexual act or masturbation, one may become uneasy and unsettled for a month or two. He may get the strong urge to do it and do it, BUT he has to keep his willpower very strong that no matter what happens I HAVE TAKEN THIS VOW THAT I WILL NOT DO IT.
Loss of familiarity with this filth, is the key. With the loss of familiarity from it, one will forget sexuality totally.
The best cure is to become Unfamiliar with sex or masturbation.
Once you stay away from these garbages for one or two years, then you forget all about it. That is the nature of the mind.
If it goes near it, it will become restless. The mind has been separated from its familiarity.
If ‘You’ remain separate from it, then the mind stays away from it and therefore it will forget it forever. ( A strong willpower is needed of a man like a man. ) It will never remember it again. It will not go there even if you want it to.
Do you understand that?
It is like if you stayed away from a person for one or two years then your mind will forget him.
Agya ( Instructions ) Of The Topmost Saints:
Desire is one thing that can be changed through the agya of The Mahapurusha. The agya of a Saint Mahapurusha has the power to change everything.
The seeker of Brahmacharya simply has to make a firm decision that no matter what happens, he will not have anything to do with the filthy stuff sex or masturbation, at any cost.
A firm determination ( निश्चय ) of a man is required.
Whenever any desires arises in the mind one should simply take out the picture of his beloved Krishna and stare at him with love, another thing which can be done is playing the Kirtana of the Hari Naam, one could also start up the Satsanga or Lectures of the Vaishnavas / Saints, so that the mind do not even have a minute of having any bad or unusual thoughts to enter into it.
MIND / मन JUST NEEDS KRISHNA and KRISHNA THAT IS ITS HUNGER AND THE ONLY NEED.
Then, vow of Brahmacharya will start working in him. Our मन will not be distracted anymore.
If a person practices Brahmacharya and attains its full glory then it is a very great thing. What more one needs?
With its experience and the extraordinary result of the accomplished Brahmacharya, one enjoys the bliss of an emperor of emperors.
HOW TO GET ESTABLISHED IN brahmacharya ( celibacy ) ?
Do not think of the opposite sex.
Do not look at the opposite sex.
- Looking at the opposite sex will create desire to talk to them.
- Talking will create a desire to touch them.
- Eventually you will have an impure mind and will fall a victim.
Therefore never look at the opposite sex. Never talk intimately with them. Do not be familiar with them.
The look must be perfectly chaste and pure. Lord Jesus says: “If you have a lustful look, you have already committed adultery in the heart.”
- You should be chaste in your look.
- You should be chaste in your talk.
- You should See mother in all women.
- You should Cultivate sublime, divine thoughts of Lord Sri Krishna.
- Repeat the Lord’s Name ( chanting ) and meditate on Sri Krishna regularly.
You will be established in celibacy.
There are 4 processes in the practice of celibacy,
- 1st – control the sex-impulse and sex-Vasana (sex-desire).
- 2nd – Practice conservation of sex-energy. Shut out all holes through which energy leaks.
- 3rd – Divert the conserved energy into proper spiritual channels through – Naam Japa ( Chanting of Sri Krishna’s name regularly ), Kirtan ( Listening / Doing ), selfless service, Pranayama (practice of breath-control), Read Bhagavad Gita & Srimad Bhagavatam regularly, vigilance, self-analysis, Hear the Katha and Listen about the pastimes of Sri Krishna from Srimad Bhagavatam.
- 4th – Have conversion of the sex-energy. Let it be converted into Ojas (spiritual energy) or Brahma-tejas (spiritual halo) through constant meditation on the spiritual and blissful beauty of Lord Sri Krishna.
An Oordhvareta Yogi ( one who has stored up the seminal energy in the brain after conversion of the sexual energy into spiritual energy ) not only converts the semen into Ojas, but checks through his Yogic power, through purity in thought, word and deed, the very formation of semen by the secretory cells or testes or seeds. This is a great secret.
One should also practice – Sirshasana ( This is specially designed for stopping nocturnal discharges and helping the flow of semen towards the brain in the form of Ojas Sakti or spiritual energy. Do this Asana when your stomach is empty or light )
how should i use my intelligence while having any attraction to the opposite gender ?
You can do this experience and make your awareness arise when you start having even a single bad desire for any person,
- See ( imagine ) the body without the skin and then the another awareness should arise and see the intestines within that body.
- Also you can see changes that occur within those intestines.
- You can see blood vessels,
- You can see fecal matter etc.
- You can see all these and refuse it this way.
Then there is no chance of sexual impulse arising, is there?
In all this, the Soul is the only pure thing and that is where the vision stops. Therefore how can any illusion over sex ever occur?
A great personality has said, “All the miseries come to an end if you do not get deluded and see the Pure Soul (within all).”
We read in scriptures that you should not become attached to women but you forget this the moment you see a woman. This is the ILLUSION. It is a deluded view. If this illusion leaves, this view that ‘I am this Filthy Body’, and instead the right vision of, ‘ I am Pure Soul’, takes hold then all suffering comes to an end.
Then the delusion will not happen and attraction will not occur.
which foodstuffs should to be consumed, while practicing brahmacharya ?
Diet plays a prominent part in keeping up Brahmacharya.
Purity of food brings in purity of mind. There are certain kinds of food that make the mind and the body very strong and steady. If proper attention is given to the purity of the food that we take, Brahmacharya becomes quite easy.
Garlic, onions, meat, fish and eggs stimulate passion and are not great for the health, spirituality as well as brahmacharya.
Mark how elephants and cows that live on grass are quiet and peaceful and how tigers and other carnivorous animals that live on meat are turbulent and ferocious.
SATTVIC FOOD:
- Butter and ghee of cows
- Tender coconut water
- Coconut
- Almonds
- Pistachio nuts
- Toor Dhal
- Ragi
- Barley
- Maize
- Wheat
- Rice of red paddy whose bran is only partly removed
- Rice of good smell or sweet taste
- All preparations from any of these grains
- White pumpkins
- Milk
- Cheru ( Cheru is a mixture of boiled white rice, ghee, white sugar and milk )
- Dried ginger
- Green gram
- Potatoes
- Curd all comes under Sattvic diet for keeping up Brahmacharya.
Fruits are great energy producers.
FRUITS:
Bananas, grapes, sweet oranges, apples, pomegranates and mangoes are wholesome and nutritious.
DRY FRUITS: Such as grapes, raisins, dates and figs.
SWEET FRESH FRUITS: Such as bananas, mangoes, Sapotas, melons, limes, pineapples, apples, wood apples and sweet pomegranates, sugar and sugar-candy, honey, sago & arrowroot, can help up in the Brahmacharya lifestyle.
Mitahara is moderation in food.
One practicing Brahmacharya should always observe this.
They should be very careful about their night diet. They should never overload the stomach at night. Overloading is the direct cause for nocturnal emissions.
An overeater can never dream of becoming a Brahmachari.
Control of tongue is a sine qua non if you want to control lust, if you want to observe the vow of brahmacharya.
The tongue must be controlled first. Then it will be easy to control the passion.
There is intimate connection between the tongue and the organ of generation. Tongue is an organ of knowledge. It is born of the sattvic portion of the water tanmatra. The organ of generation is an organ of action. It is born of the rajasic portion of the water tanmatra.
