Brahmcharya
He said, ‘I have wet dreams two to three times a month’. I said
to him, ‘Oh dear, why are you so scared of telling me just that?
You do not intend for it to happen, do you?” He told me
emphatically that it was not his intention. So I informed him that
if his intentions are pure, then it is still considered brahmacharya.
He wanted to know why it should happen. I asked him that if
it was not just an emptying of what has being filled. Whatever

uprooted and thrown away as soon as it comes, then the semen
will not exhaust and therefore will not go down. It will rise to
a higher level in the spiritual realm. There is tremendous science
happening within.
Questioner : As soon as the thought arises?
Dadashri : The moment the sexual thought arises. It may
not discharge but it has already separated inside for discharge.

Dadashri : What happens when you do pratikraman? It
shows that you are detached from it and that you do not have
anything what so ever to do with it.
