Is semen retention necessary for spiritual progress?
I have read through various books which state, that, without semen retention, no progress can be made through meditation, spiritual progress, or kundalini awakening. I've even read that frequent release of the sexual energy regardless of whether it's through masturbation or sex will lead to early death, and that scared the hell out of me.
As examples, in the book "Practice of Bramacharya," it states that:
This Veerya (seminal energy) is verily Atman. The secret of health lies in preservation of this vital force. He who wastes this energy cannot have physical, mental, moral and spiritual development.
Falling of semen brings death; preservation of semen gives life. Semen is the real vitality in men.
If wasted, it leaves him effeminate, weak and physically debilitated and prone to sexual irritation and disordered function, a wretched nervous system, epilepsy, and various other diseases and death.
Continence is not harmful. It conserves energy. It gives immense strength and peace. Sexual indulgence leads to moral and spiritual bankruptcy, premature death, and loss of faculties, talents and capacities.
On account of heavy loss of the seminal fluid, you will suffer from diseases, depression, weakness and loss of vitality. Consequently, you will have an early death. Therefore, become an Akhanda Brahmachari or a lifelong celibate. Free yourself from all miseries, worries and troubles.
In the presence of light, you cannot have darkness. In the presence of sensual pleasures, Atmic bliss cannot exist.
Death is hastened by letting out semen from the body; life is saved and prolonged by preserving it. There is no doubt that people die prematurely by letting the semen out of the body; knowing this, the Yogi should always preserve semen and lead a life of strict celibacy
Looking at a woman will create a desire to talk to her. Talking to a woman will create a desire to touch her. Eventually you will have an impure mind and will fall a victim. Therefore, never look at a woman. Never talk to a woman in privacy. Do not be familiar with any woman
there are different views of different people but its true that semen is the lifeforce and losing it in
anyway is a loss for us and preserving it will be of great benefit for us thats why some great
spiritual masters recommend to have sex once in lifetime only to produce child but a common
human being like us is not qualified to do it,its a deep topic of discussion which needs lots of
knowledge of human mechanism.
