every dimension of your body and your mind you can transform into it into something tremendous or you can make it mediocre or you can make it a serious problem [Music] so you will see at various times people say we cannot fight with him because he is a brahmacari every seed in his body he is transformed into a fresh life and the nature of his life is so big that it is no more as mortal life is generally you don't sleep you don't eat it doesn't matter if i don't sleep for three nights you will still
not see any difference in me i'll be carrying on [Music] sadhguru is there a secret power behind our semen can wasting our semen damage us mentally and spiritually what brahmacharya means is literally it means brahman and sharia brahman means the ultimate sharia means you're on the path of the ultimate when we say brahmacharya this is particularly relevant in terms of sadhana there are other ways for the feminine but particularly relevant to the masculine or the male body because the seed of life that is in a man if he is willing to transform this when i
say the seed of life a single cell which is able to create another human being the capacity of the man to be able to transform this into your life force is like an atomic force if you can take an atom and release it a single atom can create so much energy just like this but the same capability is not in a woman's body because it's a compulsive cycle if she does not make use of it to produce a child she will lose it anyway she cannot hold it in her body she cannot make use of
it in any sense because it dies periodically semen is the basis of your physical existence whether you're a man or a woman you have come into existence because that's that is 50 of the ingredient well we have skin we have epithelial cells we have hair we have many other aspects of body you know heart liver kidneys so many things all these cells are of a certain potency in their own way but semen is of an extraordinary level of potency it can create a whole new life well today you can take an epithelial cell and do
lot of things in the laboratory and maybe we can clone you all right so the potential is here also but it is not in the same dynamics as it is in the cell which is which you're referring to as semen so in the yogic culture this is called as virya varia also refers to what you call as vajra which means stability or diamond which is the hottest thing so in the human body virya is considered to be like vajra that means it is one of the most potent things if you know how to use it
so you will see at various times people say we cannot fight with him because he is a brahmacari [Music] this does not mean that he is just willing to die just that no it is just that they cannot kill him because every seed in his body he has transformed it into a fresh life and the nature of his life is so big that it is no more as mortal life is generally so it is from this context it is being said bhisma had the power to choose his time of death because he did not just
take a wow and deny himself something he made use of this opportunity to transform the seed within himself into a life force through which he almost became mortal by choice he's not immortal but he can choose his mortality anything in this body can it be transformed into a different level of function absolutely every dimension of your body and your mind you can transform into it into something tremendous or you can make it mediocre or you can make it a serious problem every aspect of your life that goes for this aspect of life also this same
energy see people are making it literal translations but if you want to produce a certain let's say epithelial cells how much energy the body spends on it and if you want to produce a cell which you call a semen how much energy body spends is very different this can be scientifically established so when you're investing so much energy in that obviously it has a potency if you know how to explore but are you competent to explore are you capable of exploring do you have the necessary sadhana and guidance to do that that's a big question
mark see the energy that you have right now is not all about the food that you eat sunlight air and water you drink is actually contributing for more than 60 percent of the energy that you have we are always thinking of energy as nourishment food nourishment people are constantly calculating how much iron how much magnesium how much this how much that i'm not saying that's not needed definitely that's the chemical ingredient of the body it needs to be taken care of i'm not trying to belittle the nourishment nourishment is definitely needed but that is not
going to determine the energy levels that you have and your ability to transform what is food into what is a human being and what is energy and consciousness is what makes you who you are your ability the efficiency now uh every machine that you create you are no more just trying to create big machines you are always thinking about being energy conscious isn't it so it's a question of energy efficiency so brahmacari is into various types of sadhana certain internal maintenance of the system the way it is managed is nothing is wasted it is very
eco friendly very you know energy conserving methods through which you generate a huge amount of reserve energies within you you don't sleep you don't eat it doesn't matter if i don't sleep for three nights you will still not see any difference in me i'll be carrying on this is not some superhuman see first of all we need to understand this this is not about being superhuman this is about realizing that being human is super [Music] [Music] you
