2 Brahmcharya
Questioner : We do not bleed excessively .
Dadashri : What would happen if you do bleed excessively ?
Questioner : The body will become weak .
Dadashri : So it is with abrahmacharya ( incontinence of sexual impulses ), the body becomes weak . All the diseases in the body are due to abrahmacharya . Yogurt is not the end product of milk . Yogurt is converted to cream , which is finally converted to butter . Similarly , all that you eat and drink , the air you breathe , results in a final product , which is the essence of the body . Brahmacharya is the ultimate essence of this complex of intake and output , this living body .
There are two things in this world that one should not waste . One is money and the other is semen . All the money in this world is going down the drain . It should not be used for oneself . Money should not be misused and one should practice brahmacharya as much as possible . The ultimate extract of our nourishment is semen and it is dissipated and lost in sex . There are certain nerves in the body that help preserve semen and this in turn protects the body . Therefore , brahmacharya should be preserved as much as possible .
Questioner : But , I still do not understand why one should practice brahmacharya ?
Dadashri : I am not trying to force you into doing anything . You should be able to understand by yourself . It is a different matter if you cannot practice brahmacharya , but you should never oppose brahmacharya . Brahmacharya is the best tool for health and spiritual progress .
Let go of this talk of brahmacharya . Do not practice brahmacharya . I am not of the opinion that you have to practice
