Celibacy & It's benefits towards disease's

Hello Reace,

Hope you are keeping fine. Coming to the answers,

Transmutation of the vital seed into health, strength and 'Ojas' results in an increase in the immunity and resistance one has to diseases. People who lead an honest life of celibacy beyond a few months have a much lesser chance of falling ill and succumbing to most ailments. Besides, the body gets rejuvenated and revitalized leading to robust health and well being.

Diseases invade the body on account of 'toxins' present within the physical body, the astral body or due to past karma embedded in the causal body. Ideally speaking, the human body by default is completely immune to all forms of disease. It is the presence of these toxins that makes the body conducive for the growth of 'germs' when they invade.

After a few months of unbroken celibacy, continued periods of Brahmacharya ensure that these 'toxins' present in the physical body slowly start to surface and get cleared out of the system. The time point when these toxins 'surface' generally results in an illness of some form related to the particular toxin that is being vacated and the end of the illness generally means that the particular toxin is washed out of the system for ever provided the Brahmachari does not repeat the activity (food, thought or action) that embedded the toxin into the system in the first place. This process goes on incessantly for the first few years of celibacy when layers after layers of impurities within the body, mind and psyche are thrown out by continuous and unbroken celibacy. Further to the removal of all these toxins at the physical, mental and causal levels, the Yogi develops a body called as 'Yogagnimayam shariram' or a body that has been purified by the fire of yoga. Such a body is then akin to a 'perfect body' that is virtually free from the action of disease, age and time. The only susceptibility of the body is towards 'Prarabdha karma' or those past karma's that have to be worked out in the current life.

It can be safely assumed that one who has attained such a body purified by the fire of Yoga after many years of unbroken Brahmacharya has enough positive karma and immunity to either fight or avoid the incidence of disease. The immense amount of positive karma accrued from a life of virtue and Brahmacharya itself ensures that the celibate is protected from disease at not only the physical level but also at the astral and causal levels. This positive karma and an aura of divinity that surround him protect him from the gamut of diseases and degeneration to totality with one exception. And that exception is his 'Prarabdha karma' or that past karma which has to be worked out in this life without exception. If his 'Prarabdha karma' has within it elements that portray the advent of a disease accrued do to some past wrong action, the Yogi will have to suffer that particular disease in order to cleanse himself of his past sin. The laws of nature are fully impartial and such that even a man of divinity and virtue has to suffer for his past negative actions without fail.

Again one should remember that the mere presence of strength, immunity and resistance against diseases does not mean that the Brahmachari should become indifferent to an atmosphere which may result in passive smoking (smoke exhaled by a smoker) or impinge the risk of a disease such as AIDS. Prevention is always better than cure and avoiding the very environment that may lead to a disease should be the first priority of the Brahmachari. As mentioned earlier, the Brahmachari should safeguard himself from exposure to conditions that can lead to the induction of 'new toxins' into the body such as cigarette smoke or infected blood from an AIDS patient. The Brahmachari who is established into unbroken Brahmacharya from many years is like a warrior who is capable of defending himself from attack through any form of assault. However this does not mean that the warrior goes in 'search' of fights without necessity and reason. It only means that like the warrior, the Brahmachari will be in a position of fend himself against the onslaught of most diseases and come out hale, healthy and untouched; A state which is very hard for the normal non-celibate man to achieve.

God bless and have a nice day
Dhananjay :-)
