Effects of Masturbation on the Face
Question
Hello Sir,
I hope you're doing well.
From my experience, I think that masturbation makes the face look unhealthy. Do you agree? Is there any cure for that? Or are the effects irreversible?
Thanks,
Matt
Answer
The entire body, internal organs, brain, nervous system, skin and the bones degenerate further to indiscriminate loss of vital fluid spent on recreation. This effect of decay and loss of health is then seen in the face devoid of luster and life.
On the other hand, conservation and transmutation of semen into Ojas makes the entire human system sparkle with luster, energy, health, vitality, brightness and radiance. This is then seen through the face and eyes of the Brahmachari. Such a person is cheerful, energetic, calm, serene and full of radiance and positivism. He becomes youthful and divine both externally and internally. After a long period of unbroken Brahmacharya with constant God-meditation and devotion, he becomes an Urdhvarethas (one whose vital fluid flows upwards to the brain). Then, he constantly smiles from within, full of bliss and joy. "Atmanyeva Atmana tustaha" says the Bhagavad-Gita -- "He becomes content in the self by the self (Atman or soul) with no need of anything external to make him happy".
The only cure from the ill-effects of losing one's seed is to get over the habit through establishing oneself in Brahmacharya at the earliest.
