SEMEN IS THE CAUSE OF A HORRIBLE DEATH

[Guest guest]

>SEMEN IS THE CAUSE OF A HORRIBLE DEATH* and he is the god of death.

 

What follows are some points. Please take them for what they are worth. I

personally found them quite useful.

 

The vital energy, the Veerya that supports your life 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.

 

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 Patanjali 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.

 

Secret of health and longevity

 

Pure air, pure water, wholesome food, physical exercise, outdoor games,

walking with brisk steps, rowing, swimming, light games like tennis-all

contribute to the maintenance of good health, strength and a high standard

of vitality. There are indeed many ways to gain health and strength. These

ways are doubtless indispensably requisite. But, Brahmacharya is the most

important of all. Without Brahmacharya, all your exercises are nothing. It

is the master-key for opening the realms of health and happiness. It is the

corner-stone of the edifice of bliss and unalloyed felicity.

 

The preservation of semen is the secret of health and longevity, and of all

success in the physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual planes. He who

has even a little bit of Brahmacharya will tide over a crisis of any disease

very easily. If it takes a month for an ordinary man for recovery, this man

will be completely all right in a week.

 

The Srutis declare a full life or age of one hundred years for a man. This

you can attain only by the establishment of Brahmacharya. There are

instances of men who have attained longevity and intellectual powers despite

their loose, immoral ways. But they would have been still more powerful and

brilliant had they possessed a good character and continence as well.

After Dhanvantari had taught all the details about Ayurveda to his

disciples, they enquired about the keynote of this medical science. The

Master replied, "I tell you that Brahmacharya is truly a precious jewel. It

is the one most effective medicine-nectar indeed-which destroys diseases,

decay and death.

 

Wet dream and voluntary copulation-A vital difference

 

A sexual act shatters the nervous system. The whole nervous system is shaken

or agitated during the act. There is excessive loss of energy. More energy

is wasted during coition. But it is not so when emission occurs during the

dreaming state. In a wet dream, it may be the outflow of the prostatic juice

only. Even if there is loss of the vital fluid, there is not much draining.

The actual essence does not come out during wet dreams. It is only the

watery prostatic juice with a little semen that is discharged during

nocturnal pollutions. When nocturnal emission takes place, the mind which

was working in the inner astral body suddenly enters the physical body

vehemently in an agitated condition. That is the reason why emission takes

place suddenly.

 

The night discharge may not stimulate the sexual desire. But a voluntary

copulation, in the case of a sincere aspirant is highly detrimental to his

spiritual progress. The Samskara created by the act will be very deep; and

it will intensify or strengthen the force of the previous Samskaras that are

already imbedded in the subconscious mind and will stimulate the sexual

desire. It will be like pouring ghee in the fire that is slowly getting

extinguished. The task of obliterating this new Samskara will be an uphill

work. You should completely give up copulation. This mind will try to delude

you in a variety of ways by giving wrong counsel. Be on the alert. Do not

hear its voice, but try to hear the voice of the conscience or the voice of

the soul or the voice of discrimination.

 

Youth with bloodless faces

 

A good lot of energy is wasted during copulation. Bad memory, premature old

age, impotence, various sorts of eye diseases and various nervous diseases

are attributable to the heavy loss of this vital fluid. It is greatly

shocking indeed to see many of our youth walking with tottering steps, with

pale, bloodless faces owing to loss of this vital fluid, instead of jumping

hither and thither with agile, nimble steps with vigour and vitality like

the squirrel. Some people are so passionate and weak that even the thought

or sight or touch of a woman causes discharge of semen. Pitiable is their

lot!

 

THE DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF SEXUAL INDULGENCE

 

The most devitalising and demoralizing of pleasures is the sex pleasure.

Sensual enjoyment is attended with various defects. It is attended with

various sorts of sins, pains, weaknesses, attachments, slave mentality, weak

will, severe exertion and struggle, craving and mental restlessness. Worldly

persons never come to their proper senses although they get severe knocks,

kicks and blows from different corners. The strolling street dog never stops

from visiting the houses even though it is pelted with stones every time.

Eminent doctors of the West say that various kinds of diseases arise from

the loss of semen, particularly in young age. There appear boils on the

body, acne or eruptions on the face, blue lines around the eyes, absence of

beard, sunken eyes, pale face with anaemia, loss of memory, loss of

eye-sight, shortsightedness, discharge of semen along with urine,

enlargement of the testes, pain in the testes, debility, drowsiness,

laziness, gloominess, palpitation of the heart, dyspnoea or difficulty in

breathing, phthisis, pain in the back, loins, head and joints, weak kidneys,

passing urine in sleep, fickle-mindedness, lack of thinking power, bad

dreams, wet dreams and restlessness of mind.

 

Mark carefully the evil after-effects that follow the loss of seminal

energy! Persons are physically, mentally and morally debilitated by wasting

the seminal power on so many occasions for nothing. The body and the mind

refuse to work energetically. There is physical and mental lethargy. You

experience much exhaustion and weakness. You will have to take recourse to

drinking milk, to eating fruits and aphrodisiac confections, to make good

the loss of energy. Remember that these things can never, never repair the

loss completely. Once lost is lost for ever. You will have to drag on a

dreary, cheerless existence. Bodily and mental strength gets diminished day

by day.

 

Those who have lost much of their Veerya become very irritable. Little

things upset their minds. Those who have not observed the vow of celibacy

become the slaves of anger, jealousy, laziness and fear. If you have not got

your senses under control, you venture to do foolish acts which even

children will not dare to do.

 

He who has wasted the vital energy becomes easily irritable, loses his

balance of mind and gets into a state of explosive fury for trifling things.

When a man becomes furious, he behaves improperly. He does not know what he

is exactly doing as he loses his power of reasoning and discrimination. He

will do anything he likes. He will insult even his parents, Guru and

respectable persons. It behoves, therefore, that the aspirant who is trying

to develop good behaviour must preserve the vital energy. Preservation of

this divine energy leads to the attainment of strong will-power, good

behaviour & spiritual exaltation.

 

Excessive sexual intercourse drains the energy enormously. Young men do not

realize the value of the vital fluid. They waste this dynamic energy by

immoderate copulation. Their nerves are tickled much. They become

intoxicated. What a serious blunder they commit! It is a crime that demands

capital punishment.

 

When this energy is once wasted, it can never be recouped by any other

means. It is the most powerful energy in the world. One sexual act shatters

completely the brain and the nervous system. People foolishly imagine that

they can recover the lost energy by taking milk, almonds and Makaradhvaja.

This is a mistake. You must try your level best to preserve every drop

although you are a married man. Self-realization is the goal.

 

The energy that is wasted during one sexual intercourse is tantamount to the

energy that is spent in physical labour for ten days or the energy that is

utilized in mental work for three days. Mark how precious is the vital

fluid, semen! Do not waste this energy. Preserve it with great care. You

will have wonderful vitality. When Veerya is not used, it is all transmuted

into Ojas Sakti or spiritual energy and stored up in the brain. Western

doctors know little of this salient point. Most of your ailments are due to

excessive seminal wastage.
