Prostate Problem
Question
I want to know if there is any relation between prostate problem and the practice or not practicing brahmacharya.
Like for example, a person may have attained to a certain state of physical brahmacharya and control but may be slipping on the mental front due to various distractions of the modern life, his own weakness, etc.
What will happen in such a case? Does that create health problems like prostate problems, etc.
Please let me know your opinion and also how to get out of such problems...
Answer
There is no such relationship. Prostate troubles occur to those who continue to live in the sex plane, after having given up sexual activity due to old age or some other reason. Mere physical abstinence is not Brahmacharya. One should not mix the two.
If the practice of Brahmacharya is correct (with adequate efforts in the physical, mental and spiritual planes), no problems of any kind occur. Problems, which might have existed from before the start of practice also disappear further to diligent efforts.
