Brahmcharya
Questioner : That also happens with thoughts.
Dadashri : It becomes ‘exhausted’ through sexual
thoughts as well, just as it ‘exhausts’ through the sexual look.
The stock, that has been ‘exhausted’, then discharges.
Questioner : But those who practice brahmacharya do
not have those circumstances. They stay away from women,
they do not keep pictures or calendars of women and yet their
discharge occurs. Isn’t this a natural process?
Dadashri : Even then, he can imagine sex in his mind.
Secondly, if he eats too much and if too much semen is being
produced from it, then it is possible for it to flow out.
Who does not have accident of semen leaking out? A
person whose semen becomes very strong, has become very
thick, would not leak out. Others have semen that has become
thin.
Questioner : Can the flow of semen be stopped through
power of the mind?
Dadashri : Power of mind the works a lot. It is only the
power of mind that works. But it has to be in conjunction with
Gnan. Power of mind would not stay on its own.
Questioner : Is the discharge in dreams due to
shortcomings from the past life?
Dadashri : There is no question about it. All the
shortcomings of the past go away in the state of dreams. I do
not count, what happens in the state of dreams, as an offence.
I count what happens in the state of awareness as an offence,
awareness with open eyes. Even then, dreams would come.
Therefore it is not worth disregarding them completely. One
should be cautious there. After being in a state of dreams, in the
morning, you need to do pratikraman that this should not happen
