How to reach spiritual heights through ‘masturbation’ – par1!
A friend of mine called me to say what an astrologer told him once. That you should not masturbate. Masturbation is an unhealthy practice and that it will lead to hair loss and low semen count. I started masturbating at the age of 13 and till 23 never missed a single day (at 23 I got married). Probably I missed 30 days between 13 & 23, and that was because I could not get enough privacy in my NCC camps. You can check out the hair part looking at my picture here, and also I have 2 healthy daughters from my marriage, and am all set for more kids. Osho Rajneesh & Thatvagyaani Vethathiri Maharishi are people who have supposed to have sublimed their sexual energies completely – but both of them are bald, and to my knowledge Osho never had kids! So what is the moral of the story? Masturbation isn’t a taboo or an unhealthy practise. Instead it is a good stress relieving exercise, which can be intelligently used for spiritual growth.
Sex is good, but at the same time, if someone wants to lift his/her souls, he/she should succeed in controlling the sexual urge. We have been told only about two genres – one who are complete celibates and others who are not. There is a 3rd category, which precisely is about practicing celibacy temporarily, and also indulging in sex in a different way.
The ultimate truth is that the craving for more sex is not a bodily requirement, but it is a mental phenomenon. Though we can understand this sentence very easily, it is a bit to realize the same. For instance, if you compare what exactly happens when you indulge in sex with a partner, and when you masturbate - you will find that the feeling remained more or less the same. The opposite person was just a tool and whatever happened was in yourself, which has nothing to do with the other person. Hence if you sleep with one woman or many or with many at once – the bodily feeling is going to remain the same, but then yes – there will be some difference in the mental gratification you get. And this mental gratification can never be fulfilled - the craving keeps increasing with age, with time and with better looking people…Hence it becomes a better idea to find a short cut to understand sex and to have control over it than to get controlled by it.
Not all get good sexual partners in life, and in my personal experience with clients most married couple have a very dull sexual life. They perform just to get kids, and once they are through, they stop. In the present IT world none to my knowledge uses sex for spiritual growth. Most don’t know the process, and others don’t have time. None can be blamed for it, and also there is no necessity to find another partner with similar interests. In this scenario self-help becomes the best help….
To be continued….
Will discuss these topics tomorrow…
