BRAHMACHARYA IS INDISPENSABLE

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on December 5, 2012 at 7:00pm
The semen or Veerva tones the nerves and brain and gives energy to the system. He who preserves this vital force through the vow of Brahmacharya and sublimates it into Ojas Shakti, can practice deep and steady meditation for a long period. He can ascend the ladder of Yoga without difficulty.
Without Brahmacharya no spiritual progress is possible, it is the very foundation on which the superstructure of meditation and Samadhi are to be built up. Many people waste the vital energy. This is indeed a great spiritual loss. They become blind and lose their power of reason under sexual excitement. Pitiable indeed is their lot! They cannot make any substantial progress in Yoga.
From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
