Brahmacharya for martial arts

The best possible outcome as regards the body, mind and finally the Atman (soul) come from honest and unbroken Brahmacharya. If a Brahmachari is interested in using the conserved energy for martial arts, then he can make good progress in that field. Simply following a life of correct Brahmacharya and using this energy for his fight practice will help him excel in martial arts. Conserved semen is like electricity. Electricity can be made to produce light, heat, run a gadget, a motor and for hundreds of other applications. It all depends on what one uses it for. The energy derived from Brahmacharya is very similar. It can be chanelled in any given field. A Yogi uses this for the purpose of 'Kaivalya (self-realization) as that is his aim and life objective.

Becoming an Urdhvareta gives a body with true strength and toughness. What is true strength? It is not the strength derived from lifting weights or making six-packs. It is not the power to pump a hundred Kgs of weight on the bench press at the gym. Neither is it the ability to run for miles or swim across a river. All these no doubt require strength, but a man who does these is not necessarily a 'strong man' in the real sense. A really strong man is one who can manage to stay in his 'Atmic state' (default state of the soul) full of calmness, happiness, serenity, virtue, goodness, confidence, energy and iron determination towards the achievement of his objectives. He wishes good for all (even those who wish him bad). He does not cause the least harm in body or mind to any being. He is ever truthful, does not covet what belongs to others, has a pure and straight forward attitude and is unattached to the material things of life.

The really strong man is unfazed and unaffected by the highs and lows of life and perseveres in attaining to his goal despite all odds. He so strong, content and peaceful from within that he does not need any vices (such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, porn etc...) to make him 'happy'. He is not driven by his ego. He may or may not succeed in a given job, for that depends on the will of God, but his efforts are at cent percent. This calls for a force and strength from within which is uncommon. Such force is ‘real strength’. It comes from the 'Atman' (soul or Almighty) and not from anywhere else. Brahmacharya gives such strength. This strength can then be used for any constructive activity one aims at. Since this world is ultimately ‘Maya’ (illusion) and all its activities as also hence illusory, the Brahmachari uses it to know who is is (for self-realization).

Lord Brahma or Lord Shiva are beyond the body and mind. They work in a plane much above the Earthly plane. The 'Superman' in comics is bound by the Earthly plane. He acts and reacts to what happens here on Earth. He cannot function beyond the Earthly plane. By the time the Superman is done with flexing his muscles and getting ready for the fight, these God's would be long done with winning it without even shaking a hair. Hence he wouldn't be a match to these Deva-s!

ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
