6. THE VALUE OF SEMEN

My dear brothers! 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. Veerya

is the quintessence of blood. One drop of semen is manufactured out of forty

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 colours and life in the leaves, flowers and fruits are due to this

Rasa. Similarly, the Veerya that is manufactured by the cells of the testes out

of blood gives colour and vitality to the human 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 Dhatus that

support this life and body. Mark here how precious is semen! It is the last

essence. It is the Essence of essences. The Veerya comes out of the very marrow

that lies concealed inside the bones.

There are three divisions in each Dhatu. Semen nourishes the physical body, the

heart and the intellect. Only that man who uses the physical body, the heart

and the intellect can have perfect Brahmacharya. A wrestler who uses his

physical body only, but keeps the intellect and the heart undeveloped, cannot

expect to have full Brahmacharya. He can have Brahmacharya of the body only,

but not of the mind and the heart. The semen that belongs to the heart and the

mind will certainly flow out. If an aspirant does only Japa and meditation, if

he does not develop the heart, and if he does not practice physical exercise,

he will have only mental Brahmacharya. The portion of the semen, which goes to

nourish the heart and the body, will flow out. But an advanced Yogi who dives

deep in meditation will have full Brahmacharya even if he does not take

physical exercise.

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.

Then this fluid is taken by the two ducts or tubes to the vesiculae seminalis.

Under excitement, it is thrown out by special ducts, called ejaculatory ducts,

into the urethra where it is mixed with the prostatic juice.

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 Sastras it is said:

Maranam Bindu Patanat,Jivanam Bindu Rakshanat.

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 Brahma-Tejas

to the face and strength to the intellect.

Modern medical opinion

Eminent European medical men also support the statement of the Yogins of India.

Dr. Nicole says: "It is a medical and physiological fact that the best blood in

the body goes to form the elements of reproduction in both the sexes. In a pure

and orderly life, this matter is reabsorbed. It goes back into circulation

ready to form the finest brain, nerve and muscular tissues. This vital fluid of

man carried back and diffused through his system makes him manly, strong, brave

and heroic. If wasted, it leaves him effeminate, weak and physically

debilitated and prone to sexual irritation and disordered function, a wretched

nervous system, epilepsy, and various other diseases and death. The suspension

of the use of the generative organs is attended with a notable increase of

bodily and mental and spiritual vigour."

If the spermatic secretion in men is continuous, it must either be expelled or

be reabsorbed. As a result of the most patient and persevering scientific

investigations, it has been found that whenever the seminal secretions are

conserved and thereby reabsorbed into the system, it goes towards enriching the

blood and strengthening the brain. Dr. Dio Louis thinks that the conservation of

this element is essential to strength of body, vigour of mind and keenness of

intellect. Another writer, Dr. E.P. Miller, says: "All waste of spermatic

secretions, whether voluntary or involuntary, is a direct waste of the life

force. It is almost universally conceded that the choicest element of the blood

enters into the composition of the spermatic secretion. If these conclusions are

correct, then it follows that a chaste life is essential to man’s well-being."
