Brahmcharya 53 bound to discharge. Sexual thought will arise. Any encouragement given to it renders the semen virtually lifeless and then somehow or the other it will find its way out to be discharged. If the semen gets retained, and there is not a single thought of sex, then the energy of semen will rise. It expresses as the energy of words spoken. The one who practices brahmacharya gains everything. It manifests in his speech, in his intellect and in his understanding. In abrahmacharya the words do not take hold or blossom. They are useless. It is only when the energy of the semen rises that the speech is of top quality and all the other energies express. All the veils of ignorance are destroyed. Otherwise I have already called sex and sexuality a refuse. All that forms within is happening for the sole purpose of the toilet and excretion. When does a sexual thought arise? It does so when you see someone, an attraction occurs and then the thought arises. Sometimes a sexual thought may occur without any attraction. Once a thought about sex arises then mind immediately gets stirred up, and with this the semen exhausts instantly. That is why you should uproot the sexual thought before it sprouts into a tiny sapling. Everything else is acceptable, but this sapling of sex is very dangerous and difficult to destroy. You must stay away from any contact that hurts your brahmacharya. You must avoid any company of the person that is harmful to you. That is why the authors of the scriptures had made so many arrangements for brahmacharya. Arrangements such as, you do not sit wherever a woman is sitting if you want to practice brahmacharya. You can sit and remain there, if you want to remain in the worldly life. Questioner : Therefore, in exact brahmacharya not even a single sexual thought should arise. Dadashri : Thoughts cannot be stopped from coming.
