Brahmacharya and good luck
Question
Hello! I have a question regarding(additional) benefits of Continence.
I have already decided to do this practice but im curious about legends regarding this benefits.
Boxers avoid sex before a fight, and indian wrestlers are continent,;does this mean celibacy automatically increases the prowress and strength of any male? What may be the reasons behind this;testosterone?
Also, I heard a Taoist story of years-long celibacy creating a "protectice sphere"which makes a person unable to get harmed in any situation. has this any basis on fact or truth?
Thanks for your time!
Answer
When the vital force is conserved and transmuted, it leads to a superlative form of energy called 'Ojas' which inundates the being. This energy eventually shines as brilliance in whatever activity the Yogi performs. It confers immunity against a vast range of undesirable energies. It is the power of ones own Atman (self), shining in the practical world.
ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
