My dear brothers! The vital energy, the Veerya that supports your life,

which is the Prana of Pranas, which shines in your sparkling eyes, which

beams in your shining cheeks, is a great treasure for you. Remember this

point well. Veerya is the quintessence of blood. One drop of semen is

manufactured out of forty drops of blood. Mark here how valuable this fluid

is!

 

A tree draws the essence or Rasa from the earth. This essence is circulated

throughout the tree, its twigs, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. The

shining colours and life in the leaves, flowers and fruits are due to this

Rasa. Similarly, the Veerya that is manufactured by the cells of the testes

out of blood gives colour and vitality to the human body and its different

organs.

 

According to Ayurveda, semen is the last Dhatu that is formed out of food.

Out of food is manufactured chyle. Out of chyle comes blood. Out of blood

comes flesh. Out of flesh comes fat. Out of fat comes bone. Out of bone

comes marrow. Out of marrow comes semen. These are the Sapta Dhatus or the

seven Dhatus that support this life and body. Mark here how precious is

semen! It is the last essence. It is the Essence of essences. The Veerya

comes out of the very marrow that lies concealed inside the bones.

There are three divisions in each Dhatu. Semen nourishes the physical body,

the heart and the intellect. Only that man who uses the physical body, the

heart and the intellect can have perfect Brahmacharya. A wrestler who uses

his physical body only, but keeps the intellect and the heart undeveloped,

cannot expect to have full Brahmacharya. He can have Brahmacharya of the

body only, but not of the mind and the heart. The semen that belongs to the

heart and the mind will certainly flow out. If an aspirant does only Japa

and meditation, if he does not develop the heart, and if he does not

practice physical exercise, he will have only mental Brahmacharya. The

portion of the semen, which goes to nourish the heart and the body, will

flow out. But an advanced transcendentalist who dives deep in meditation

will have full Brahmacharya even if he does not take physical exercise.

 

Semen is the quintessence of food or blood. One drop of semen in

manufactured out of forty drops of blood according to modern medical

science. According to Ayurveda, it is elaborated out of eighty drops of

blood. The two testes or seeds that are located in the scrotal bag are

called secretory glands. The cells of these testes have been endowed with

the peculiar property of secreting semen from the blood. Just as bees

collect honey in the honeycomb drop by drop, so also, the cells of the

testes collect semen drop by drop from the blood. Then this fluid is taken

by the two ducts or tubes to the vesiculae seminalis. Under excitement, it

is thrown out by special ducts, called ejaculatory ducts, into the urethra

where it is mixed with the prostatic juice.

 

Semen is found in a subtle state in all the cells of the body. Just as sugar

is all-pervading in the sugar-cane, butter in milk, so also, semen is

pervading the whole body. Just as the butter milk is thin after the butter

is removed, so also, semen is thinned by its wastage. The more the wastage

of semen the more is the weakness. In the Yoga Sastras it is said:

 

Maranam Bindu Patanat,

Jivanam Bindu Rakshanat.

 

Falling of semen brings death; preservation of semen gives life. Semen is

the real vitality in men. It is the hidden treasure in man. It imparts

Brahma-Tejas to the face and strength to the intellect.

 

Sivananda
