have proved that semen cannot be reabsorbed into the system and that the brain has nothing to do with semen.

Semen is a mysterious secretion that is able to create a living body. Semen itself is living
substance. It is life itself. Therefore, when it leaves man, it takes a portion of his own life. A
living thing cannot be put to laboratory tests, without first killing it. The scientist has no
apparatus to test it. God has provided the only test to prove its precious nature, viz., the womb.
The very fact that semen is able to create life is proof enough that it is life itself.
I have thousands of letters from young men who have wasted this precious fluid and are
in a miserable plight. Several young men even go to the point of committing suicide! Through
reckless waste of semen, they lose all their physical, mental and intellectual faculties. Those who
are perfect Brahmacharins have lustrous eyes, a healthy body and mind, and a keen, piercing
intellect.
Scientists with their test tubes and balances cannot approach subtle things. No amount of
dissection of the body will be able to tell you where the soul is, where life is, or where the mind
is. Through the practice of Yoga, the seminal energy¾not the gross physical semen - flows
upwards and enriches the mind. This has been declared by the sages. You will have to
experience it yourself.
