MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 28.6.1.
Chapter 28 : Evil Vrittis And Their Eradication - 6.1
6. Benefits Of Brahmacharya-1.
Mind, Prana, Virya (seminal energy) are three links of one chain.
They are three pillars of the edifice of Jivatman.
Destroy one pillar-either mind, Prana or Virya and the whole building will fall to pieces.
If you can observe Akhanda Brahmacharya for a period of 12 years, you will enter into Nirvikalpa Samadhi spontaneously without any effort.
The mind will be controlled by itself.
Seminal energy is a potent Sakti.
Semen is Brahman itself.
A Brahmacharin who has practised unbroken celibacy for full twelve years will reach to Nirvikalpa state the moment he hears the Mahavakya "Tat Tvam Asi" (That thou art).
His mind is extremely pure, strong and one-pointed.
He need not have repeatedly undergone the lengthy process of Sravana (hearing) and Manana (intellection).
