GARLAND OF KARMA YOGA
Pranayama seriously The semen energy ascends up to the brain It is stored up as Ojas Shakti (spiritual energy and comes back as Amrita or nectar
More energy is wasted during coition The whole nervous system is shaken or agitated during the act But it is not so when the emission occurs during the state of dream. Further 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 pollutions take place, the mind which was working in the inner astral body suddenly enters the physical body in an agitated condition. That is the reason why the emission takes place suddenly
The energy that is wasted during one sexual act tantamounts to the physical energy that is spent in physical labour for ten days, or mental energy that is utilised in mental work for three days Mark how precious is the vital fluid, semen!
Glory to those Yogis who have attained Oordhvareta or full sex-sublimation and who rest in their own Swaroopa! May we all practise perfect celibacy through the practice of Shama, Dama, discrimination, Vichara, Vairagya, Pranayama, Japa, Dhyana and Asanas and reach the goal of life! May the indweller of our hearts grant us spiritual strength to control the Indriyas and the mind' May we all become full Oordhvareta Yogis like Sri Sankara, Sri Jnana Dev and others of yore! May their blessings be upon us!
