Don’t try to suppress the sexual feeling ……But we can
sublimate it……. When you do asanas,
when you do pranayama, when you do
japa regularly and with the right diet, without onions and garlic and certain
roots which over stimulate the nerves, then sublimation will take place little
by little. That’s when the energy starts moving to the upper chakras (psychic energy centers) and
reaches the brain. This same sexual energy will now form a creative force, a
positive spiritual force. That’s why you see halos around the heads of sages
and saints; it is the ojas shakti
emanation. If a person has even partial control of the sexual energy, his face
is different. He will never get wrinkles. The skin gets very dry and wrinkled
when too much of the energy is wasted and made gross in the sexual act.
…..yoga says that flexibility of the spine and flexibility
of the mind are interrelated. If you keep the spinal column flexible, you’ll
have a flexible mind ……
