Belly fat due to masturbation
Question
Hello Sir,
I have 2 questions.
1. I read your previous answer regarding conversion of Ojas into semen and that the process is irreversible. When exactly does this happen? How can one know that this has happened and how can one prevent it?
2. Is it true that fat in the belly is due to excessive loss of semen? How can one reverse the process and gain a flatter belly? I used to have a flat belly earlier but now I see that I have a bulging belly. Recently I have masturbated up to 3 times day. Is the belly fat due to this behavior of mine?
Thanks,
Amit
Answer
Hello Amit,
1. The reversal of Ojas into semen occurs every time sexual thoughts that arise in the mind are let to grow into desire and lust. This does not occur when a thought which has risen is displaced through diverting the mind. It occurs when the thought is let to grow. With every stimulus of desire that grows into lust, there is a response in terms of retraction of Prâna from all over the body and Ojas (from the brain) into semen. The process of conversion of semen formed by the digestive process into Ojas is transmutation. The reverse process of retraction of Ojas into semen through lust is degeneration. The degenerated semen, bereft of its share of Prâna, then gets emitted through voluntary or involuntary means.
2. Fat in the abdominal region could be the result of various factors. However, one should bear in mind the fact that the transmutation of semen into Ojas repletes the body with healthy and potent cell matter and signals the release of hormones that inhibit ageing. Cell multiplication is thus curtailed, reducing the tendency towards obesity and body fat. The release of these hormones is rife at childhood which results in the glow, tautness and luster that children possess. Adults start losing it further to a life of seminal wastage. This automatically accelerates ageing which triggers an increase in the number of cells leading to obesity. In a Brahmachari who has succeeded in years of conservation, the body again starts becoming taut, fresh and wiry as cell multiplication is curtailed and ageing slows drastically.
The only method to prevent defects such as obesity arising from seminal wastage is to lead a life of unbroken Brahmacharya in thought, word and deed with adequate physical, mental and spiritual activity to transmute and sublimate semen.
