Sexuality and brahmacharya

There was a question from one Russian disciple. If there will be no sex in my life and I will be celibate, my life will be like a potato. I said stop. Potato has acute feeling of sex. That's why it is sprouting it seeds. What is sex? Sprouting your seeds. So you will multiply and be fruitful. So every even a potato has a feeling of sex and reproduction at the same time. It is feeding you as well. He is very responsible thing. Be like a potato. Add to add to the potato statement. Potato is having better sex than a human being or any specy or any animal or any insect. He is putting his seat directly directly

into the mother earth and coming out. Yes. Potato is a better say form of expressing sex than any human being. Yes.

Guruji: What else? If they are unconscious — how will they be friends? They will be lying together in beds in coma — if they are unconscious.

What about the relations of mother and son?

Guruji: The son’s body was created with the mother’s menstrual blood — so the connection is natural and established: so they will be connected.

One time one American came; he was very full of talking — about J. Krishnamurti also; he simply asked me a question — and I think my answer he has not recovered from the shock. “When you look at me — what do You see?” He was hoping that I will see the God’s creation: I said — I’m just seeing your father’s sperm, covered with your mother’s menstrual blood: that is you! And it’s a medical fact, no one can deny that. He was shocked: he never thought it like this. Yogis trying to know the truth, accept it — and then elaborate on it.

I think it is already on record in some book: when the union is taking place — the sperm and ova; the sperm goes inert and ova takes over. And ova is creating all your physical body: sperm is still inert. Look at the shape of brain and spinal cord: it is enlarged sperm. That’s why the need of awakening your chakras and awakening of Kundalini is important. Then the inert sperm will wake up and will be ready to form another union. Very simple analysing.

NON-ATTACHMENT DEFINITION

if the person starts to practice yoga and after some time some wishes or desires come to him: to have a good house, to have a good car and other material things; will they be the obstacles in the practice?

Guruji: why should they? We’re not making you a monk. Buy the most expensive house you can afford, live there and practice there. All such misunderstandings come from the sannyasis. But non-attachment is a different thing. If you’re so mature then even you have things – you will not remain so attached with them. Because they are just things.

BRAHMACHARYA DEFINITION

but what about brahmacharya state for the health?

Guruji: oh my god, you’re still fixed on this topic. Well, I will give you the accurate answer: when you’re no more afraid of death - you will have no sexual instinct. This instinct is given by nature to preserve and continue your genetic line. So when you will overcome the fear of death – that instinct will stop bothering you. Reproduction will not be needed if you’re not afraid of death. Think on that! It is nature’s program for breeding only.

Just shifting the attention from between your legs to your head is called brahmacharya.

You cannot change the weather: if the rain must come – it will come; but if you know the astrology – you can take the umbrella. The rain will come anyway – but umbrella you can take.

If nakshatra is affecting the person – of course it presiding deity also will affect, they are compliment each other.

PERFORMANCE

Whatever stage you will achieve – you will perform from that level. Every performance is on the stage; so whatever mental stage you will achieve – your personal performance be from that level, remember that!

You will start performing from that mental stage you will achieve: different types of forms will come into being; so maybe it will be starting of the different type of creation within the creation. Think on that!

SHADOW OF SEX

The base of all relationship is sex. Mother, father, son, daughter, grandson – the core reason is sex. Brahma the creator created all this situation: sexual major structure. Because we are inside it and we’re the result of it – so whatever we will see this thing will always guide us. So vajroli, amaroli and sahajoli – they were described in a sexual way. That is the greatest of great maya. If you’re able to think beyond this – then only real wisdom will shine on you.

Otherwise everything is sex. We’re results of it, every relationship is based on that. Suppose you go to society and meet the person who are not related to you – but he himself is a result of sex. This is the greatest of maya and we need to learn rise above it – at least mentally, consciously – and free thinking will flow.

That will be the real twilight state- no shadow of sex on your mind.

the path of brahma is the ultimate tapas, not the ordinary tapas. Whoever knows the upper semen – he is the death?

Guruji: it’s about bindu, urdhvaretas. And the path of brahma is brahmacharya. To know the mind is brahmacharya.

THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE

That was such an interesting discussion on ojas and amrita: so ojas can be transformed to amrita?

Guruji: Only after your ojas is formed – the possibility of amrita forming in your brain will become possible.

How is it connected with the rise of Kundalini?

Guruji: Only then there will be possibility of Kundalini rising.

Is it the same process?

Guruji: They are connected. Step by step. You going to be urdhvaretas?

Maybe, why not?

Guruji: Not maybe, make a firm decision and go for it. We should challenge him: yes, you can do it! Go! (laughing)

Urdhvaretas state is a step of practice?

Guruji: It’s a successful result of it.

and it lasts at least 12 years – to form one drop?

Guruji: Yes. And remember one statement I’ll make here : genital organs are being abused all over the world without understanding their generative power: they can create life. And if you know their real power – you can use them to preserve your own life. They are not something abusive or just – they are there; but they are generative organs, they can give life. They can also preserve your life – if you know all the secrets about them. So be careful!

The main concentration in brahmacharya should be on brahma?

Guruji: The m ain brahmacharya is: when your attention, your main focus rises to your head from between your legs – that is brahmacharya. And it is as good as the awakened Kundalini.

In this state is the body producing seed fluid or not?

Guruji: It will be digested inside the body, not go out.

In females case also?

Guruji: I think it should be like that. Actually men are worrying more about it. The basic metabolism of the body will be different, the work of the body will be different.

For women it will be possible to have no period?

Guruji: It may be possible, yes. All of the system will be different. They will not remain “normal’ as they say normal.

So it’s like a nabhi: we’re switching the outer system to an inner one?

Guruji: Yes. This nabhi Kriya – I’ve studied almost every system, which is available – nobody even discusses it.

Why do You think – these two processes are connected – bank naal and urdhvaretas? When the ojas will form – it will change the whole body?

Guruji: The person will become extraordinary.

And what do You think – the process of aging will be different after even one drop?

Guruji: Yes, his mind will be extraordinary, body will be different; his body smell will change and he will progress extraordinarily spiritually and in everything in life. Nature will begin to favor him; so many things will start. It starts a big chain reaction.

To reverse process in nabhi we must first achieve Hridaya granthi?

Guruji: Regular yoga practice – the best most excellent yoga practice.

If a yogi pierced Hridaya granthi and then somehow died; he could then take birth in the family of yogis, which is extremely rare?

Guruji: Very rare: yogis usually don’t create siblings. Maybe that’s why so many yogis have taken birth. Could be – providing them an opening here.

But if they are brahmacharis – some higher being is coming and say: you must give the birth to that yogi – or how?

Guruji: Why not? Anything is possible.

MAYA

Guruji, what is maya?

Guruji: that is a debated point for thousands of years – what is maya; but my observation is: Brahma created a sexual creation. Sex is the biggest of the great maya.

Every human relationship – started point is sex. Mother, father – you have to worship them and respect them – it is a sexual program. Children, brother, sister, mother, father – you take any human relationship – it is based on sex. That’s why ancient yogis were telling that if you’re able to rise above this thing and you’re able to see through it – only then you can be concept as gone beyond the maya. So sex is the maya.

Our mind is not capable of understanding the reality – so we keep bypassing it. Even a little bit intelligent person – he can see and understand.

when the person will understand this maya – he become to perceive everyone as personality?

Guruji: it is the part of self-realization. First you will look yourself in introspect and understand what is life, what is your atma, dehi – then your attention will go to the body and then you will also realize – this is direct result of the sex. Then you will begin aware of sex in a very different way. Instead of involve in it you will become an observer. And your perception and your understanding of the subject will be very different than an average person. When you will look around – there is nothing to see except sex.

KUNDALINI

terrible situation

Guruji: for some people – enjoyable also; but for persons who can see – terrible for them. Again depends on the point of view. That’s why we said: what is the awakening of Kundalini? When your attention rises from between your legs to your head – that is real awakening of Kundalini.

why Brahma created such sexual creation?

Guruji: he put sex – so nobody will get over it. They will came moving in a vicious circle without having a chance of liberation. Thanks to Shiva – he gave us this information and knowledge of yoga so you can be an observer and may even hope to rise above it. It’s like reality game or riddle or puzzle which you need to solve. Otherwise what is the value of the game if it is so easy?

Now we can understand, why brahmacharya was stressed so much. Main thing was to rise above it, have the very objective view to that things. Without real understanding your level of consciousness will not go beyond that. As a yogi I will say that you need to understand the subject thoroughly – only then you can go beyond.

otherwise the concentration on the subject will remain but with minus sign?

Guruji: that’s why our population increase so much – we are discussing brahmacharya too much. This is such an important subject and everybody avoids talking it openly. It is impossible for us here or anywhere that their grandparents were having sex- it’s impossible for a child to even imagine. One boy came to me, carrying the book of poems written by his grandfather, some bhajans. And he were saying: You know, Guruji, my grandfather was such a great saint – he was a brahmachari all his life. I said: ok, I believe it. When I look at you – I believe it!

First you will be interested in what is life; then you start to develop your consciousness, develop your brain; then so many philosophical things starts come to your mind. Then finally you become to realize that’s the physical body which is supporting your brain’s life; then you will realize – it’s direct result of sexual relationship. Only then this thing will come, not initially, nobody will think on that – we’re thinking too high.

after that he will use the certain technic to make the process reverse?

Guruji: no, I think real understanding is enough. You’re already develop to a certain level – only then you will focus on that.

is this bad karma for a yogi to manipulate the people using this instinct?

Guruji: I don’t think yogis are affected much by this. But if you create something – another chain of karma will be. Creator is already there. Manipulation is not a good thing.

HOW TO ESTABLISH IN BRAHMACHARYA?

I’ve been asked, that how one can be established in brahmacharya?

I’m a simple man, so my take is very simple on that, when your mind is developed to a level, that you have overcome all types of your libido - you will have no desire for sex, then brahmacharya will begin.

BRAHMACHARYA FINAL STATEMENT

When they talk about Brahmacharya, they keep saying - control You’re seminal discharge, control Your seminal discharge…You must be hear it, until the hemorrhoids pop out of the ears…

So, main thing is: seminal fluid is just a carrier for your sperm, it is just a carrier, the main power is in a sperm. Every single sperm have enough power to create a new life with a help of the egg. So when they are going deeper into Brahmacharya : the sperm which is actual life force, not a carrier of a fluid, nothing more than that - that sperm, the life force, or extension of Youreself, begin to be assimilate inside Your body, that will convert into Ojas!

And for Ladies: the egg, they are born with complete set of eggs, not they say, they say raj, raj mean control your seminal fluid, the blood flow, No! It’s egg, which comes out every month! It will start to remain inside, and it transform into their Ojas! So we need make our mind very clear, what is the true meaning of the Brahmacharya, the transform from seminal sperms to Ojas, and from the eggs of the woman to Ojas! It should be made clear! So I said it! Now it’s up to You!

SHOW CHARITY ( Brahmacharya discussion!)

is it true if the person make himself celibacy and brahmachari will help him in practice because he will not lose so much energy and will hold it?

Guruji: main thing is: when your practice is good – you will achieve the state of brahmachari. It’s a difference!

it doesn’t mean that you must forcibly hold yourself…

Guruji: it is impossible to practice it forcibly. But as a result of a very good practice you will achieve that.

is it useful to limit the sexual activity?

Guruji: yes, a disciplined sexual life is highly recommended.

what is discipline in sexual life, how it must be?

Guruji: when you’re trying to understand your mind, most of your libidos will disappear: that will be the beginning of disciplined sexual life. It’s all from the mind.

but if you have the partner, who is not in the practice – maybe you will do it because of your care of him or her and not because of own impulses?

Guruji: ok. Show compassion(smiling). Charity!

yesterday we discussed about brahmacharya – and You said it’s not the effort that you should hold yourself but it’s the result of the practice?

Guruji: when you will become more familiar with the working of your own mind; many different thoughts are coming to your mind and why they are coming. Most of the sex depends on the libido which you’re creating in your mind. So if the libido is no more, no longer there – you are as good as brahmachari.

is it individual for any person or it’s a common stage?

Guruji: it is only for those who are trying to observe brahmacharya; otherwise who cares?

but in the practice it exists some stage when it will not require so much efforts?

Guruji: the more familiar you will become with the working of your mind and more you will be able to observe why these thoughts are coming your mind – you will get beyond the libido things: libido is also a thought in imagination.

so we’re not trying to observe brahmacharya – it will come natural?

Guruji: just keep it in your mind. Until unless your libido will remain – no amount of wearing iron underwear will help you.

as I understand with the practice the false libido will go away?

Guruji: it’s just a temporary passing away. When you have set your goals very high and you want to go where no one else go before – these are a small things. And you also must remember: ultimately this act is just a breeding program. Or if you just want to attract the attention of the girl you declare publicly: I’m observing celibacy! Many of they come to test you. And you keep failing in your test( smiling). Instead of you doing charity – they will do charity.

will such time come when you will need not so much efforts to reach some level?

Guruji: when practice and achieving the result of practice will become the main aim of your life – your whole life will remain concentrated to fulfil it. And it applies not only to yoga: in anything, whatever purpose you have discovered for yourself.

but in any case it will take the effort to achieve?

Guruji: without effort – what you will get?

that stage must come when you feel the great effect of the practice: then the interest will be more?

Guruji: no. if it is become main ambition of your life – only then you will go.

CONDOMS – STEP AGAINST BRAHMA

Family is the part of the society – they are not surviving separately, all the new families creates the society. It is a good idea to have some discipline and respect for this. And the scientists are there to help you: they have already invented so many things to stop the birth of illegitimate child. Use them! Science is always here to help you.

I was never see condom in my life; one day they was invented by government to India. Most of the decorative – paanvalas and others – they just blow them big size like a balloons and we were wondering – what are these things? Then the wise man came and enlighten them – this are that thing. Then I think: the man, who invented them, must be a very wise person – who conceived the idea and invented it – and now the whole world using it. Hopefully. Fantastic invention of the mankind – just not illegitimate child to take birth. You can imagine our surprise – from where such balloons came? The inventor was man enough to invent it.

It’s not a taboo to discuss these things – this is how the life continues. You cannot actually give a judgement – this topic is not good, it’s idiot and obscene, only that topic is good – when you’re always talking philosophically. You must be very practical and able to discuss anything with the very open mind.

why Brahma created such creation, based on sex?

Guruji: Shiva created immortals, who can bring a child simply by imagining it; but Brahma make it more interesting(laughing). The inventor of condoms creates the first revolution against Creator. All the birth control things which were invented – they are against that creativity.

KUNDALINI & SEX

why Brahma created this great illusion?

Guruji: that is his game – are we able to rise above this, are we able to develop our mind to the level to go beyond the planting program or this impact of the sex; if we’re go beyond it – then a very different type of attitude will develop and your motive will be different. No shadow of sex on your mind.

first you will subdivide the motives?

Guruji: yes, and you will be able to decide – what is from where. What is the rising of the kundalini? When your mind rises to the head from between the legs. That is the awakening of Kundalini.

YOGIN’S SCHEDULE

The basis of breeding is the instinct: fear of death. Breeding is carrying forward your genetic record. Your record will continue: that’s why everybody is running out for sex.

I’m observing that nowadays the people have much less interest for creating a family and to breed?

Guruji: but they are very much interested in the act of breeding. No, it is not brahmacharya – ojas will never develop inside.

but why they don’t want produce the children?

Guruji: because they don’t want to take responsibility of the child. Financial, emotional and so many things. They are not highly developed.

You think it’s not the decision “not to breed?”

Guruji: they will not remain interested in the act of breeding then. we need to understand the instinct for that: then you will go beyond it.

ok, but it’s very controversial thing here: in Gita it is said that if yogin passed the Hridaya granthi bhed but couldn’t reach Rudra granthi bhed – he will take birth from yogin and yogini; but if they are brahmachari – how?

Guruji: that’s why it is said: extremely rare. Maybe that’s why Babaji gave this yoga to householders - so some very high yogis may take birth finally( smiling). Could be that.

Yogin should not go to jungle and live naked: that brings us to another shocking realization- the behavior of family and nearby blood relatives actually drive that man nuts and he decides to leave the family and throw away everything to live somewhere in peace: that feeling is called vairagya. He always lives with his family; blood relatives were created by gods – so they can suck your blood.

OJAS AND TEJAS MAN AND WOMAN

what is ojas and what is tejas?

Guruji: if you asked – we will talk openly about it. Male semen is called “tejas” in Sanskrit; because it has enough Shakti to create another life. When the semen is digested inside the body – then it is convert or transformed into ojas. In a lifetime only 8 drops of ojas can be formed and they are stored in the heart. That’s why in some books the heart chakra is called eight-petaled lotus. Developing ojas is very important: it gives extraordinary development of the consciousness. Tejas, retas, veer – they are all synonyms. Veer means glory also; literally it means semen and tejas also. In Gita it is said: veeravan – full of valor, full of glory: tejasvi means the same.

ojas is like atomic reactor?

Guruji: you see, semen is carrying millions of sperms, which can create another life. They are alive – and all this life is assimilating inside your physical body. All these lives together forms ojas. It will create extraordinary life force inside the person who will be able to do it. That’s why celibacy stressed so much. Someone shew me the photo of the sperm, ready for uniting with the ova – from some channel – and it is look like white cobra. And ova was looking like the Earth.

women has tejas?

Guruji: of course: only they can convert and transform the tejas of the man. They are Shakti themselves.

and how ojas is forming in women’s body?

Guruji: by saving the eggs. It’s more difficult than men’s process. Without yoga practice nothing is possible.

ordinary man has no ojas?

Guruji: who is trying to assimilate their own semen inside their own body system? How they will develop ojas?

Properties of the women are described in Gita: if they are able to develop these properties in their mind – then they are full of ojas. If the woman has these properties – she is nearly goddess. Here I will mention another very interesting point: not a single religion makes it clear – what happens with the girl after she dies.

it requires another conditions except celibacy to form one drop?

Guruji: that is the main condition for that. It is the main thing, but without very heavy yoga practice no one can digest or practice celibacy also. Celibacy and very hard practice – both together. Only this much is enough with uninterrupted practice. Do nothing to make money; so let’s take a middle path. And celibacy is misinterpreted by everybody.

what do You mean?

Guruji: sex is the egg which can produce a new life form and as individual being is come into be. It is carrying extraordinary life force and life source and energy. Most of the people are using it in a very different way. If you recognize the power and potency of this thing – then only you will withdraw it and your own life force will begin to increase and enhance instead of going away. It’s a very complicated process.

here understanding is not just intellectual process?

Guruji: intellectual process is nothing. Of course, first you need intellectual process then you have to apply understand it physically also; it should be together, combination, you cannot just say that – this is intellectual and this is physical.

Intellect will help you to understand these things much better if you’re develop it in the practice of yoga: then your understanding will be much deeper and better than any limits. Then you will begin to see – it is just a transformation of life, energy. And if you’re able to keep it inside, withdraw it inside – something different will take place, definitely. But the creation was created that way that is an outside flow.

Only with the very heavy practice of yoga and right practice of yoga you will be able to retain it inside. It’s all about formation of life – either outside or inside.

PRACTICE AND SEX.

is it important to keep the seed of life inside?

Guruji: what seed of life?

to keep the sperm inside?

Guruji: this question has been asked by westerners maybe more than million times. It’s your seed: it’s your choice, what to do with it. I mean what for? If you’re not living the yogic way of life, if you’re not practicing celibacy very seriously – what is the use of keep it? Because impossible to keep it. Until unless you accept the certain way of life – nobody can be successful in that. Remain in one place, take the strongest decision in your life – I will preserve it and I will do this and I will live the particular way of life; then – may be it will be possible. Otherwise it’s just utopian thought because we read in the books. Keep throw it away – what else. The whole world is throwing it away, what’s the problem?

how it is connected with awakening of Kundalini?

Guruji: are you living that way of life? Everything is connected. So many processes are described – read them!

if we’re completely attached to sex- it’s an obstacle for practice?

Guruji: no, that’s very different approach: the basis of sex is the fear of death. And sex is the only way you can carry on your genetic record. Until unless you will get over this fear of death – this thing will never come to pass. Go down to the basic: it’s the instinct of preserving life.

so until unless you reach the level of understanding…

Guruji: first you need to decipher what is life and what is death. Then in introspection you also will find the fear of death, hiding somewhere inside you, which is in every being; it’s the very natural thing; then you overcome it somehow. Then the real life of brahmachari will begin.

and until then?

Guruji: until then it’s hidden mis.

is it possible to avoid the fear of death?

Guruji: by understanding it you can overcome it; we’re not saying to avoid it. Face it!

without experience of samadhi is it possible to overcome?

Guruji: if you’re very highly developed – intellectually you can also reach the conclusion. And with enough yoga practice you will be able to overcome it. It’s prolonged thing – it’s not happen in a second or suddenly. Fear is the key for sex. Brahmacharya is the most interesting topic for discussion, but to apply it in your life is a very great thing. Let’s keep on discussing.

but is it ok to have sex if you’re practicing yoga?

Guruji: you just remember 5 promises you gave – that’s it. Forget about everything. We’re not train you to become a monk or something.

so we need to overcome our physical limitations?

Guruji: that takes time: I think saying is very easy, hearing is also very easy; but to actually experience that state of consciousness – takes some time. It’s one of the stepping stones.

and one of the goals maybe?

Guruji: no, one of the stepping stones for the bigger goal. Never get pity on yourself, never compromise with your standard, keep the target and always keep your highest goal in front of you: then you will finally experience concentration. Set your goal the highest. Don’t be a miser when you setting goals.

when you set the goal very high you must have something in between?

Guruji: they are stepping stones – not exactly goals. Primary goals will remain prime.

Just a transformation of the woman, so they can play. When they were all inside the mother for three months we were all girls. All men were girls for three months – that is what doctors saying. So our career was started as girls and then we change form, so the play of creation will continue. All the males including human are have nipples and there is one animal who has no female signs – that is horse. Absolute pure male.

We have not creating monks, we are just teaching you yoga. So your mind will open and you’ll have your own decision. But a discussion about man and woman are very depressing topic.

TO BE LIKE A POTATO!

There was a question from one Russian disciple: If there will be no sex in my life and I will be celibate, my life will be like a potato!

I said STOP

Potato have acute feeling of sex! That’s why it is sprouting it’s seeds.

What is sex? Sprouting your seeds. So you will multiply, and be fruitful!

So even a potato have feeling of sex and reproduction! At the same time it is feeling you as-well, he is very responsible thing.

Be like a potato!

And, to add to a potato statement:

potato is having better sex than a human being, or any species, or any animal or any insect!

He is putting his seed directly in to the Mother Earth, and coming out!

Potato is a better form of expressing sex than any human being!

CURED FROM SEX

I don’t know, why he asked me this: oh, I can’t be without woman and I want to be brahmachari: so please suggest me, what should I do? I want to leave sex forever.

I said: think again. Will you be able to follow my suggestion? – yes, yes!

I said: make the promise that you will follow. He made a promise.

Then I said: do it morning, noon time and evening time – three times a day. Go!

Within 10-12 days he was begging me: please, remove that promise from me – I cannot tolerate it anymore.

I said: you were asking, too much into it – now have it! I think he came out well after that. He was under the impression I will tell him, why I should not do it; I said – go, three times a day! He was cured!

BRAHMACHARYA

I want to ask You about brahmacharya?

Guruji: well, it’s a very deep question – and maybe this thing has been discussed too much. But I will start from the very light note: can you tell me, why indian population is increasing so much? Because brahmacharya is discussed too much here(laughing)

The word “brahmacharya”: brahma means the mind or the brain- and your body is just an instrument of the mind, no more than that.

And the basis of sexual instinct is the self-preservation. Fear of death: that’s why people run for sex – so they will be able to continue their genetic record forward. That’s why: the more you will fear death – the more you will run after sex.

This is the basic instinct for self-preservation. When the person overcomes fear of death by understanding it – again, you cannot overcome any fear until unless you begin to understand, why it is there. First recognize the cause, understand it – then you go beyond that. Then you will realize – that is only your mind or your brain, which experiencing through the body. Whatever senses we have – they are just instruments for the brain. When if everything is in brain and there will be no fear of death and no instinct for self-preservation – then only you will be established in the state of brahmacharya. Then you will begin to explore your mind more and more – that is real brahmacharya. Dive deep into the ocean of consciousness and keep on, move on. Simply controlling the body and particular some organ is not brahmacharya. Remember: understanding the mind and the cause of this instinct – why. And the cause of increasing population in India – we discussing brahmacharya too much.

so you cannot control?

Guruji: you understand it first: you cannot control, what you don’t understand. Understanding and knowing is the most important thing here.

On a very serious note: I will say – husband and wife may have sex, but only lovers make love. This institution of marriage is only for the purpose of breeding, no more than that.

I have been asked that how one can be established in Brahmacharya. I am a simple man so my take is very simple on that. When your mind has developed to a level that you have overcome all types of your libido, you will have no desire for sex. Then Brahmacharya will begin. Thank you on that.

In Brahmacharya, they keep saying, control your seminal discharge, control your seminal discharge. You must be hearing it till hemorrhoids are oozing out of your ears. Okay? So main thing is, seminal fluid is just a carrier for your sperm motor. Sperma, it's sperms. It is just a carrier. The main power is in a sperm. Every single sperm has enough power to create a new life with the help of the egg. So when they are going deeper into brahmacharya, the sperm which is actually the life force, not the carrier of the sperm which is just a fluid, nothing more than that. That sperm, the life force or extension of yourself begin to be assimilated inside your body. That will convert into ojas.

Wow. And for ladies, the egg, they are born with a complete set of eggs. Not they say that that raj, raj means they say that they will need to control their seminal fluid, the blood flow. No, it is the egg which comes out every month. It will start to remain inside and it will transform into their ojas. So we need to make our mind very clear what is the true meaning of Brahmacharya, the transfer from seminal, say, the sperm to ojas and from the eggs of a woman to ojas. It should be made clear.

So I have said it. Now it's up to you.

When established in nonviolence, a person becomes physically capable of preserving seminal substance and becomes stronger and behaves religiously.

Some one recently asked why there are ancient temple displaying figures in sexual embrace? Is it not an exhibition of obscenity?

While explaining this we have to ponder upon as to what is copulation and what is its consequence. Everybody knows that its object is to gain pleasure and to perpetuate the lineage of progeny. Then what prompted such a gross act to be depicted on the temples?

To the extent that I understand a yogi alone is qualified to explain this.

Copulation is a process by means of which an invisible, incorporeal soul is attracted which upon admission into he womb unites with a mundane body and is born in this world. Ancient yogis recognized this fact and discovered several means to attract divine souls on the earth on the basis of copulation. This wasn’t later understood and was therefore termed as obscene and some so-called social reformers, who themselves were the consequence of copulation, also attacked this display. Wherever on ancient temples there are conjugal posters on display, they are there as an act of attracting that specific god on the earth and establish him in the temple, which only highly accomplished great yogis performed for the prosperity of mankind.

In order to successfully perform this act, the preparedness of sadhak requires practice of perfecting Vajroli Mudra etc in which copulation without ejaculation by exciting specific veins is performed with special skill to attract on the earth, a specific divine god that is one of great souls of the subtle world, and to provide them the basis of specific idol and thus retain them on the earth so that those common people who are not familiar with Yoga and are unable to perform penance, can also experience their divine presence and thus accomplish their life.

Q: And why do people create confusion – they want to become powerful, so that they could say: this is true, this is wrong? And a lot of other people would do what they say.

Sh: But I think this is human nature; only one person wants to survive. So this is an instinct for survival which makes them.

And this instinct is there with almost every human being that only he should survive and everybody else should die. We were all sperms once. It is a fact. And when millions of sperms were running towards the ova everybody knew that who will reach the ova will survive. And every single sperm was thinking: I must survive and everybody else should die. So instinct is from there. Everybody wants to survive. I think it’s a devilish statement, but it is a fact.

And they have no compassion for others. They want every other sperm to die. So, that instinct continues. We have to overcome this fear first.

Actually producing children begins from the feeling of self-preservation. The fear of death is there. Because by producing a child you are carrying forward your own genetic record.

Anyone who is more afraid of death he will run for sex. It is a nature’s mechanism of saving yourself.

* * *

Q: I heard that during a war or in tragic circumstances people have much more need of sex than normally.

Sh: Yes, because this is the only way of saving themselves. And I will say God has created such a interesting way of saving yourself.

* * *

Q: Is every sperm connected to some particular soul or spirit or at this level there is no such connection?

A: No, they are just simply extension of your own soul, your own being. And they are almost the same. I think they are equal in everything.

In Veda it is written “Putra vay aatma su”, – “A child is the very soul of the father”.

* * *

Q: So we are lucky we won the race.

A: Oh, yeah. And also here I will say that the attraction towards female, a woman starts from that point. Because here every sperm knows that if he reaches the ova that is embodiment of the female, then only a female will save him. So it is the basis of attraction towards a woman. And when a woman is saying “I love you” what does it mean? It means she is ready to save you, your genetic record and carry it forward. They will save your soul at that time.

* * *

Man is got forward with the help of the woman, so women are respected. They were created by God to save the mankind’s records.

If a woman thinks: “Oh! Poor man, I must save them” then she agrees to marry him also exactly. I have told it to several people and I will tell it again, “If you want to propose a beautiful girl, go down to your knees, hold her hand and say, “Will you save me please”?

And that is exactly what they do.

Being saved means keeping your genetic records intact on earth. That only a woman can do for you, there is no other way.

And in all the history you will read about saving of the mankind but nowhere you will find saving of the womankind because they are the saviours.

* * *

When there’s no fear of death inside somebody, then the attraction for sex will disappear. This is the first thing – the fear of death which makes you run after girls, because naturally, instinctively you want to save, to preserve your genetic records somehow. So when there is no fear of death – there is no feeling like that. This is my understanding of the subject.

* * *

Yogi is not afraid of that anymore. He doesn’t want to be saved. He has gone beyond that. He knows what is happening and he doesn’t want to continue.

* * *

Yoga is not against sexuality but you will rather understand it better.

* * *

The moment you begin to understand what sex is, you will go beyond that. As we discussed so many times the fear of death actually is the basis of our sexual instinct. Sex is nothing but instinct for self-preservation. So, the moment we go beyond the fear of death, the necessity of sex will also disappear.

* * *

Q: So if I can assume that at a certain point the whole human kind will reach a very high level of consciousness and most of that fear will disappear.

Sh: I don’t think so. Only a few human beings will reach that level. Only that person will not think about sex, of reproduction who has got over the fear of death.
