The Secret of Eternal Youth
शररमां खलु धमसाधनम |
"The body is the soul's instrument to perform righteous actions."
All spiritual disciplines are performed through the body. If the body is weak and
sickly, the mind becomes similarly afflicted. To attain success in any enterprise, it is
essential that both the body and the mind are healthy and function in harmony and
synchronicity. That is why an aged person is unfit to undertake Sadhana (spiritual
discipline). The unbridled gratification of desires over the years drains away mental,
vital and physical energies. Even if such a person possesses a strong will power, his
body would not assist him. On the other hand, sadly, today's Youth, in spite of having
the physical ability to proceed on the path of Sadhana, are distracted by the objects of
sense indulgence and fall a prey to carnal pleasures. Not appreciating the prime
importance of sexual energy, they recklessly fritter it away through sensual indulgence,
a folly that would later become a matter of life-long repentance for them.
Many young people, who are badly perturbed, come to me for guidance and
help. They open up their hearts before me. They confess that through uncontrolled
sexual indulgence they have lost mental, vital and physical energies with the result
that their mind becomes sluggish, will power is lost and the body becomes languid and
sickly. They live a miserable life seeing no way to redemption. They lament that, for
them, Self-realisation will remain a distant dream and that they have somehow to drag
along the remaining part of the life, aimlessly.
Throughout history, great sages, saints, and seers have stressed the paramount
importance of celibacy for leading a noble and sublime life. A person lacking in self-
restraint and self-discipline can never make progress in any worthwhile endeavor nor
can he be of any service to the society. A society made up of such people is unable to
make any material or spiritual progress. Such degenerated societies disintegrate in the
long run.
What is Brahmacharya?
First of all, let us understand the meaning of Brahmacharya .
'Yajnavalkya Samhita' states:
कमणा मनसा वाचा सवाथासु सवदा |
सव मैथुनयागो चय चते ||
" Brahmacharya is abstaining from all kinds of Maithuna or sexual enjoyment forever, in
all places and in all conditions- physically, mentally and verbally."
The great sage Vyasa said:
चय गुेयोपथय संयमः |
'To abandon the pleasure gained through the sexual organs by restraint is defined as
celibacy."

Lord Siva said to Goddess Parvati,
िसे बदौ महादेव कं न िसयित भूतले |
"O Parvati! What is there on this earth which cannot be accomplished if one has
control over his sexual fluid?" That is, all powers reside at the divine feet of the
Enlightened Urdhvareta (one who is able to sublimate his sexual energy through the
practice of yoga). In fact, Siddhis (divine powers) become his facile servants. Such a
Sadhaka can attain Self-Realisation within a short span of time. Even the gods (deities)
have attained immortality through Brahmacharya ".
चयण तपसा देवा मृयुमुपानत |
इो ह चयण देवेयः वराभरत ||
"The gods have conquered death by Brahmacharya and penance. Indra, the King
of gods, has attained a still higher status, through the self-discipline of Brahmacharya ."
(Atharva veda: 1. 5. 19)
Brahmacharya is the supreme penance
Lord Siva said:
|
ऊवरेता भवेतु स देवो न तु मानुषः ||
"Celibacy alone is the supreme penance. Of course, other penances (such as
keeping fast and silence etc ...) are good in their place, but they are all inferior to
Brahmacharya . That Urdhvareta saint who has done penance over the restraint of the
sexual organ is not a human-being but God."
Brahmacharya is also hailed in Jain scriptures.
तवेसु वा उमं बंभचेरम् |
" Brahmacharya is the supreme penance."
Preservation of semen gives life
Semen is found in a subtle state in all the cells of the body. Just as the
buttermilk is thinned after the butter is removed, so also, semen is thinned by its
wastage. The more the wastage of semen, the more the body deteriorates and
weakens. The preservation of semen is the secret of good 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. One who
