Transcript:
(00:00) Yeah. Question, whenever I get angry and uh sometimes nightfall happens, my body is also very fiery in nature. Fiery in nature. >> Uh [clears throat] anger doesn't have any connection to nightfall. At all. No connection. >> [laughter] >> Actually, night nightfall happens because in the daytime we have some bad contemplation, due to which some you know, the semen becomes condensed.
(00:33) Correct? From the from the situation of a steam type of situation to the condensed water. Like that becomes condensed. And when the condensed thing keeps filling up the packet, you know, on one particular packet, when it overflows, that's what we call as nightfall or sometimes uh we also may ejaculate and try to release the semen because the there is a uh erection of the genitals when the the packet is filled.
(01:01) Mhm. So, one feels that agitation. And one indulges in masturbation, which is actually very bad because when we indulge in masturbation, a lot of energy is wasted by that. Because the two seeds are there, no? What do you call it? Testicles. Testis, we call it. So, the testis is the place where this uh viscous semen is formed.
(01:19) Uh The uh yeah, dormant semen converts into viscous semen in the testis. So, the testis is compared to be to the root of the whole body. See, from the root the tree supplies water to the uh whole tree. Like that from the testis, you know, if the semen is not made viscous, then the whole body, mind, soul, all three are energized completely.
(01:48) A person is physically healthy, mentally stable, and spiritually blissful. So, all three are made possible when one does not waste the semen, huh? Now, uh imagine you got milk and you converted the milk into dahi, then you churned the dahi and you brought butter, and you take the butter and throw it out of the window.
(02:12) Will you do that? It's like that only. Releasing semen is like that. You up to the Making butter takes lot of effort or not, isn't it? Yeah. You bring It's like a butter level you bring it and then you throw it out. Now, >> [clears throat] >> many people who suffer from this type of uh releasing semen, actually, this is a biological phenomenon, the body.
(02:37) It happens uh step by step, but it begins with thought and contemplation. So, as a spiritualist, we want to kill the impure thoughts. Work on that level. Even the devotees with high character also, uh whether wantingly [clears throat] or unwantingly, you will see that some bad contemplation will happen when we are moving in the material world, especially in the city life, huh? We're moving.
(02:59) So, little little bad contemplation may go in, and we have to keep on rectifying that bad outlook, >> [clears throat] >> from Ravana outlook to Hanuman outlook. We have to keep changing it. And keep doing it. But if if this happens occasionally, like the releasing the nightfall, if it is happening, so actually, when a brahmachari becomes discouraged, if there was one brahmachari who was actually having masturbation going on two times, huh? Or three times he was doing like that.
(03:30) One day he came and said, "Puja, you know, one day only I did two times, three times." he said. Because once he starts doing that, then it keeps coming again and again, it comes. So, then they get discouraged in the ashram life because uh then it becomes like a there's some fear and and one feels that maybe I need marriage or something.
(03:51) There are people who even after marriage do masturbation also. And imagine, you may think that oh, you got a wife, now you can beget children. No. This is some kind of habit formation. Uh you'll be surprised to know that in the beginning the masturbation happens because of remembrance of opposite sex. But after you have advanced in spiritual life, the remembrance of opposite sex may not necessarily come.
(04:16) But one has a craving for enjoying pleasure. Huh? Because the agitating the genitals, it release it releases orgasm. It releases a semen. That release of semen gives a sense of pleasure. And the jiva is craving for that pleasure. And when we don't get a higher pleasure, when we feel sometimes lonely, or we sometimes feel boredom, when we feel that I cannot watch Netflix, I cannot scroll the you know, mobile, you know, I am not allowed to watch movies, I can't play cricket, then sometimes the jiva jiva feels too restricted.
(04:59) And he has not yet developed a spiritual higher taste to study shastra and religion, develop attraction to Krishna also. So in that case, then what happens? Uh what is easily accessible is masturbation. And then one thinks that oh, if I agitate the genitals, I get some kind of pleasure. Especially when you're in teenage, when you're 14 or 16 or something, first time you do this, and you wonder, "Hey, what is this?" This is because it's a heavenly pleasure kept in a earthly body.
(05:26) Which one? The releasing, yeah. It's a heavenly type of pleasure kept in a earthly body. And then one thinks, "Oh, I don't have to depend on anybody. I can myself keep agitating it and then releasing it, and I can enjoy." Because at that time one is ignorant completely. But then one Many people release it several times.
(05:44) And then as you keep releasing again and again, you can easily see the outcome of this behavior. Number one, we feel physically very weak. And if one is repeatedly doing it two, three, four times in a week, then one feels burning sensation in the senses also. One feels a burning sensation. Or one wants to indulge in it, at same time one doesn't want also.
(06:08) Huh? One is unable to give up. So, one feels guilty. This is another thing. There's a strong guilt coming from the heart. When one indulges in it, and the guilty feeling tells you, "Hey, this is absurd. This shouldn't be done." The beauty is what? This guilt feeling comes even for people in the West also. Not only because we are Indian we have some culture, therefore we are feeling.
(06:28) No. Huh? [snorts] Even in the West people go and ask the doctor, "Why whenever I do this I get something from inside is you know, causing some problem to me." So, hm uh this uh so, physically one suffer one suffers from weakness. And mentally one feels guilty. Huh? And uh then one also loses the the sharp focus.
(06:54) Huh? In what I have to do and how I have to focus, what is the purpose. Uh clarity goes off, confusion sets in, indecision, you know, lack of courage, confidence, timidity comes. Huh? Fear comes. One starts speaking lies. One feels many times one cannot express one's emotions. One becomes timid. All complications come because of this.
(07:17) Huh? So, we uh how do we address this uh um issue of nightfall or the masturbation. One important thing I will tell all of you, um if these things are happening, don't think that, "Oh, I'm gone now. Maybe I have to marry." Because marriage is not the solution for this. Huh? It's not that after marriage it's going to completely So, okay, marriage ho gaya, abi no more problem.
(07:41) It's not like that. In marriage also, how many times one can unite with a wife and beget children? How many hundred children are you going to beget? Two, three, four children. And according to Prabhupada's standard in his purport, what he says, one should unite. Maybe you can do try two, three months. >> [clears throat] >> And during a certain time of the month, they will try to unite.
(08:01) And once that lady conceives the child, after that one is supposed to >> Restrain. >> Uh restrain. Completely stop the sex. And then if you want a child, then again Garbhadhana Samskara. And every time you unite, you have to chant how many rounds? >> 50 rounds. >> [clears throat] >> 50 rounds. Yeah. And the 50 rounds you chant, and then you can make an effort.
(08:19) So people make sometime one or two efforts only. They'll make and then immediately the lady is conceived when they go to doctor. After that you're not supposed to enjoy. So when Brahmananda Prabhu heard this, he said, "My Lord, you know, better to give it up." He said, "Prabhupada said, 'Yes, that's the point.'" Prabhupada said.
(08:33) Uh-huh. Prabhupada said, "That is the point." Because the more you indulge in this, our tool we become like a tool like an animal. We become more bodily conscious by indulging in this activity. So if you want to become divine, go from human to divine, then we have to you know, reduce it and completely avoid it.
(08:54) So one of the keys for a brahmachari is don't worry about this nightfall or the masturbation. Worry about what thought is going in which is causing this. Work at the thought level. If you overwhelm the thoughts spiritually, you overwhelm the mind and senses with Krishna conscious inputs, for which we are often lazy.
(09:18) See, people want to be lazy for Krishna conscious activities, but they want to control masturbation. How is it possible? Huh? So you can see a king of the whole world that verse Krishna Padaravindaya says, king was fully engaged in >> Krishna service. >> So when one fully engages in Krishna's service, there is no scope for any other distraction.
(09:41) Let us say that a devotee was fully engaged in Krishna's service day and night, but suddenly he got agitation, and then he got nightfall or masturbation, then it then then Krishna will take care because you have been fully engaging your mind and senses. There was no ideal time. Huh? You are beyond the nose having service engagements and studying, preaching, working hard.
(10:04) You are giving your sweat and toil for Krishna. And you can you can see it yourself. Make sure that your schedule is like that. And other devotees are also seeing that this fellow has no other thing to do. Huh? When they see like that, at that time any sin happens with your body, you are not responsible. Huh? Because Krishna says, "Aham tvam sarva papemya mokshishyami.
(10:25) " Are you 24/7 acting only for Krishna's interest? You have no other interest. And that we should pay attention to that. How many of you feel that we are not fully engaged? Correct, no? Yeah. Okay, anybody here who feels, "Prabhuji, I'm already fully engaged 24/7." Any of you say that? Prabhuji used to use the word "fully".
(10:45) He used to say that many times. And Prabhuji coined the term "full-time devotee". Correct, no? Full-time. Full-time devotee means he is satatam kirtayanto mam. He has no other business. You just go from one Krishna service to another Krishna service. Here the challenge that comes is, "Prabhuji, but I don't have so much taste.
(11:03) Thoda maja bhi chahiye." If somebody says. So, therefore somebody once is the Shyam Anand Prabhu gave a reasoning. He said, "Why Krishna conscious devotees eat too much?" Huh? He said before coming to Krishna consciousness, if you see in the government offices and all, people bring a small lunch box.
(11:23) How many of you have seen? People carry like this. You've seen that? My Lord, how And and then somebody said when one becomes a devotee, one eats half plate sabji. Huh? One puts lot of sabzi, lot of to sometime two full plates they can eat. So, where are they getting the capacity to eat a lot? He said, "All the senses when you shut them down, huh? Then they all exert their power in the tongue.
(11:47) " He said. Now they say, >> [clears throat] [laughter] >> Therefore, uh And then what happens? Jitam sarvam jite rase, it said. One who has conquered that tongue has conquered all other senses. He says. So, we are apparently trying to shut all other senses, but we are not shutting the tongue. So, recently I was telling that, you know, the we are holding many old senior devotees camp like a congregation.
(12:23) Sometimes they are 70, 75, 80. But when it comes to eating prasad without discrimination, everybody takes a similar type of plate. Whether it is yatra time or [clears throat] it is any special event, they put so much paneer, so much of sweet. Is it good for the people at 70, 75? What they do? Once it goes in, it doesn't come out.
(12:42) Then they put some powder. Krr krr krr krr krr krr Throw it out. It's not good because if our tongue is long even after becoming 70 or 80, you know, then we may have to come again. Prabhupada says for tasting food. Prabhupada says, "Even if you have a mad attachment to a woman, you have to be born again.
(13:01) " Prabhupada says in one place. Correct, no? Yeah. Actually, our attraction has to be good. So, therefore, we have to see our eating habit also because when I overeat, what will happen? Uh senses become strong and we also feel sleepy also. So, when we feel sleepy, then we sleep in the daytime. Uh especially if you have a little private place, you sleep.
(13:24) Then when you sleep in day, the night you don't get sleep. Those who are not able to get sleep at night they middle with genitals there's a possibility so therefore night when you are sleeping tight clothes you put you put dhoti kurta if possible a sweater and a blanket up to your chest a blanket cover yourself so there is no easy access to your private parts you don't have easy access of course this is not enough because if a strong craving is there one will do anything but the mind is from all directions you know put a self restraint
(14:02) for the senses for the mind for the intelligence all these things and therefore in the even before the taste develops devotee is willing to undergo that discipline right now for example we are sitting and chanting it's not that every moment you are experiencing you know it may be challenging some days some day it's ecstatic some day you are static but when we when we make a discipline that I am going to sit and chant I am going to eat only moderate prasadam and I'm going to sleep early at night I'm going to daily read proper books I
(14:42) will not waste one minute of the day I think these are these are more easy than controlling a passionate urge to indulge in masturbation at that time it is very difficult to control one may see that one is forcibly engaged in that and then one later on feels guilt at that time it's more difficult to stop rather than doing that we can control the other side for example this fan rotating fan if you want to stop imagine you put a tall stool and try to hold the wings of a rotating fan is it easy you may cut your hands
(15:13) fingers on the other hand better you go to the switch switch off or switch on a regulator control like that then it can be stopped my this is like the mind, these are like the senses. Like, you know, mind cannot be controlled immediately, suddenly, when mind is pushing you. But, the smart phone in the reality other saying, engage your senses fully in Krishna service, you know.
(15:36) You know, 24/7 keep a watch and guard and that another important thing is the tamo guna to satva guna. If you keep our room very clumsy, you know, all the dirty clothes are hanging, it's very dirty, papers are littered everywhere, you know, then that clumsy environment also causes what guna? Yeah, tamo guna.
(15:59) And tamo guna is a very good friend of dirty activities. Then one is lying in a room like that, one also is inspired to indulge in such bad bad activities. But, imagine you throw water and you take a wiper and clean the room and it's brightly lit, light is coming in the room, there are very few things on the table, like this clean it is.
(16:18) Then the cleanliness also opposes impure activities. Uh, so we can increase the satva more.

## తెలుగు అనువాదం
### రాత్రి స్ఖలనం, హస్తప్రయోగం — ఎవరూ చెప్పని నిజం
**గమనిక:** క్రిందిది మీరు ఇచ్చిన వీడియో ట్రాన్స్క్రిప్ట్కు తెలుగు అనువాదం. వీడియోలోని కొన్ని వైద్యపరమైన వాదనలు ఆధునిక వైద్య ఆధారాలతో సరిపోలకపోవచ్చు. రాత్రి స్ఖలనం సాధారణంగా నిద్రలో అనుకోకుండా జరిగే సహజ శారీరక ప్రక్రియ; ఇది వ్యాధి, శాశ్వత బలహీనత లేదా “వీర్యం పేరుకుపోయి తప్పనిసరిగా బయటకు రావడం” అనే నిర్ధారిత ప్రక్రియ కాదు.[1][2]
***
**(00:00)** ప్రశ్న: నాకు కోపం వచ్చినప్పుడు కొన్నిసార్లు రాత్రి స్ఖలనం జరుగుతుంది. నా శరీరం కూడా చాలా వేడిగా ఉంటుంది.
కోపానికి రాత్రి స్ఖలనానికి ఎలాంటి సంబంధం లేదు. అసలు సంబంధమే లేదు.
వాస్తవానికి, పగటిపూట మనం కొన్ని అనుచితమైన ఆలోచనలు, ఊహలు కలిగి ఉంటే వాటి వల్ల వీర్యం దట్టమై, ఒక సంచిలో నిండినట్లు చివరకు బయటకు వస్తుందని కొందరు భావిస్తారు. అది రాత్రి స్ఖలనం అని అంటారు. కొన్నిసార్లు జననాంగాల్లో ఉద్రేకం కలిగినప్పుడు కూడా వ్యక్తి హస్తప్రయోగం ద్వారా వీర్యాన్ని విడుదల చేయాలని ప్రయత్నిస్తాడు.
**(01:01)** హస్తప్రయోగం చాలా చెడ్డదని, దాని ద్వారా శరీరంలోని చాలా శక్తి వృథా అవుతుందని ప్రసంగకర్త చెబుతున్నారు. వృషణాల్లో వీర్యం ఏర్పడుతుందని, వృషణాలను మొత్తం శరీరానికి మూలంగా పోల్చవచ్చని ఆయన వివరిస్తున్నారు.
చెట్టుకు వేర్ల నుంచి నీరు అందినట్లే, వృషణాల్లో వీర్యం ఏర్పడకపోతే శరీరం, మనస్సు, ఆత్మ—మూడింటికీ శక్తి పూర్తిగా అందుతుందని ఆయన అభిప్రాయపడుతున్నారు.
**(01:48)** ఒక వ్యక్తి వీర్యాన్ని వృథా చేయకుండా ఉంటే శారీరక ఆరోగ్యం, మానసిక స్థిరత్వం, ఆధ్యాత్మిక ఆనందం కలుగుతాయని ఆయన చెబుతున్నారు.
పాలను పెరుగుగా మార్చి, పెరుగును చిలికి వెన్న తీసి, ఆ వెన్నను కిటికీలోంచి బయటకు విసిరేస్తే ఎలా ఉంటుందో, వీర్యాన్ని విడుదల చేయడం కూడా అలాంటిదని ఆయన ఉదాహరణ ఇస్తున్నారు.
**(02:37)** వీర్య విడుదల జీవశాస్త్రపరమైన ప్రక్రియ అయినప్పటికీ, అది ఆలోచనలు మరియు ఊహలతో ప్రారంభమవుతుందని ప్రసంగకర్త చెబుతున్నారు. ఆధ్యాత్మిక సాధకులు అనుచితమైన ఆలోచనలను తొలగించడానికి ప్రయత్నించాలని ఆయన సూచిస్తున్నారు.
భౌతిక ప్రపంచంలో, ముఖ్యంగా నగర జీవితంలో, మంచి ఆలోచనలు ఉన్నవారికీ అప్పుడప్పుడు అనుచితమైన ఆలోచనలు రావచ్చని ఆయన అంటున్నారు. రాముడి లేదా హనుమంతుడి దృక్పథంలా పవిత్రమైన దృక్పథాన్ని పెంపొందించుకోవాలని సూచిస్తున్నారు.
**(03:30)** అప్పుడప్పుడు రాత్రి స్ఖలనం లేదా హస్తప్రయోగం జరిగితే బ్రహ్మచారులు నిరుత్సాహపడకూడదని ఆయన చెబుతున్నారు. కొందరు ఆశ్రమంలో ఉన్నవారు రోజుకు రెండు లేదా మూడు సార్లు హస్తప్రయోగం చేసి, తరువాత దాని వల్ల భయపడతారని వివరిస్తున్నారు.
హస్తప్రయోగం ఒక అలవాటుగా మారవచ్చని, వివాహం చేసుకున్న తర్వాత కూడా కొందరు దాన్ని కొనసాగించవచ్చని ఆయన అంటున్నారు. మొదట్లో అది వ్యతిరేక లింగంపై ఉన్న ఆకర్షణ లేదా జ్ఞాపకాల వల్ల ప్రారంభమవవచ్చు. కానీ తరువాత, కేవలం ఆనందాన్ని పొందాలనే కోరిక వల్ల కూడా కొనసాగవచ్చని చెబుతున్నారు.
**(04:16)** ఒంటరితనం, విసుగు లేదా వినోదాలకు దూరంగా ఉండటం వల్ల కొందరికి ఆధ్యాత్మికమైన ఉన్నతమైన ఆనందం ఇంకా అభివృద్ధి చెందకపోవచ్చు. అప్పుడు సులభంగా అందుబాటులో ఉన్న ఆనందంగా హస్తప్రయోగం కనిపించవచ్చని ఆయన వివరిస్తున్నారు.
యవ్వనంలో మొదటిసారి అలా జరిగినప్పుడు, అది ఒక ప్రత్యేకమైన ఆనందంలా అనిపించవచ్చని, వ్యక్తి తనే ఆ అనుభూతిని పొందగలనని భావించవచ్చని చెబుతున్నారు.
**(05:44)** పదేపదే వీర్యాన్ని విడుదల చేయడం వల్ల శారీరక బలహీనత, ఇంద్రియాల్లో మంట, చేయాలనిపించడం మరియు చేయకూడదనిపించడం వంటి విరుద్ధ భావాలు కలుగుతాయని ప్రసంగకర్త చెబుతున్నారు.
దీనివల్ల అపరాధ భావన ఏర్పడుతుందని కూడా ఆయన అంటున్నారు. అయితే ఆధునిక వైద్య ఆధారాల ప్రకారం, హస్తప్రయోగం లేదా రాత్రి స్ఖలనం వల్ల శాశ్వత శారీరక బలహీనత, వంధ్యత్వం లేదా ఇతర సాధారణ ఆరోగ్య సమస్యలు వస్తాయని నిర్ధారిత ఆధారం లేదు.[1][3][4]
**(06:28)** ఈ అలవాటు వల్ల శారీరకంగా బలహీనంగా, మానసికంగా అపరాధ భావనతో ఉన్నట్లు కొందరికి అనిపించవచ్చని ఆయన వివరిస్తున్నారు. దృష్టి కేంద్రీకరణ తగ్గడం, అయోమయం, నిర్ణయం తీసుకోవడంలో ఇబ్బంది, ధైర్యం తగ్గడం, భయం, భావాలను వ్యక్తపరచలేకపోవడం వంటి సమస్యలు వస్తాయని ఆయన చెబుతున్నారు.
**(07:17)** రాత్రి స్ఖలనం లేదా హస్తప్రయోగం జరుగుతోందని వెంటనే “నా పరిస్థితి పూర్తిగా చెడిపోయింది; నాకు వివాహమే పరిష్కారం” అని అనుకోకూడదని ప్రసంగకర్త సూచిస్తున్నారు.
వివాహం ప్రతి సమస్యకు పరిష్కారం కాదని ఆయన చెబుతున్నారు. వివాహం తర్వాత కూడా హస్తప్రయోగం అలవాటు కొనసాగవచ్చని వివరిస్తున్నారు.
**(08:33)** శారీరక కోరికలను ఎక్కువగా అనుసరించడం వల్ల మనిషి తనను కేవలం శరీరంగా భావించే స్థితికి చేరుకుంటాడని, ఆధ్యాత్మికంగా ఎదగాలంటే అలాంటి కార్యకలాపాలను తగ్గించి చివరకు పూర్తిగా నివారించాలని ప్రసంగకర్త చెబుతున్నారు.
బ్రహ్మచారులు రాత్రి స్ఖలనం లేదా హస్తప్రయోగం గురించి అతిగా ఆందోళన చెందకుండా, వాటికి దారితీసే ఆలోచనలను గమనించి నియంత్రించాలని సూచిస్తున్నారు.
**(08:54)** కృష్ణ చైతన్యానికి సంబంధించిన ఆలోచనలు, ఆధ్యాత్మిక అధ్యయనం, సేవ మరియు ఇతర సత్కార్యాలతో మనస్సును నింపుకోవాలని ఆయన చెబుతున్నారు. ఆధ్యాత్మిక సేవలో పూర్తిగా నిమగ్నమైతే ఇతర ఆకర్షణలకు తక్కువ సమయం ఉంటుందని వివరిస్తున్నారు.
**(10:45)** “పూర్తి సమయ భక్తుడు” అంటే నిరంతరం కృష్ణ సేవలో నిమగ్నమై ఉండే వ్యక్తి అని ఆయన చెబుతున్నారు. ఒక ఆధ్యాత్మిక సాధకుడు తన మనస్సు, ఇంద్రియాలను సేవలో పూర్తిగా నిమగ్నం చేస్తే అనవసరమైన విక్షేపాలకు అవకాశం తగ్గుతుందని వివరిస్తున్నారు.
**(11:03)** అయితే కొందరికి ఆధ్యాత్మిక సాధనలో వెంటనే ఆసక్తి లేదా ఆనందం కలగకపోవచ్చు. వినోదం కావాలనే కోరిక ఉండవచ్చు.
ఇంద్రియాలను నియంత్రించే ప్రయత్నంలో నాలుకను నియంత్రించకపోతే, ఇతర ఇంద్రియాల కోరికలు ఆహారం మీద ఎక్కువగా కేంద్రీకృతమవుతాయని ప్రసంగకర్త చెబుతున్నారు. “నాలుకను జయించినవాడు ఇతర ఇంద్రియాలనూ జయించగలడు” అనే ఆధ్యాత్మిక భావనను ఆయన వివరిస్తున్నారు.
**(12:23)** ఎక్కువగా తినడం వల్ల ఇంద్రియాలు బలపడటం, నిద్ర రావడం, పగటిపూట నిద్రపోవడం వంటి పరిణామాలు రావచ్చని ఆయన చెబుతున్నారు. పగటిపూట ఎక్కువగా నిద్రపోతే రాత్రి నిద్ర పట్టకపోవచ్చు; అప్పుడు మనస్సు, శరీరం మరింత అస్థిరంగా అనిపించవచ్చని వివరిస్తున్నారు.
**(13:24)** రాత్రి నిద్రపోయేటప్పుడు బిగుతైన దుస్తులు ధరించడం, శరీరాన్ని దుప్పటితో కప్పుకోవడం వంటి పద్ధతులు జననాంగాలను సులభంగా తాకకుండా ఉండేందుకు సహాయపడవచ్చని ప్రసంగకర్త సూచిస్తున్నారు.
అయితే బలమైన కోరిక ఉంటే కేవలం బాహ్య నియమాలు సరిపోవని, మనస్సు, ఇంద్రియాలు, బుద్ధి—మూడింటినీ సమగ్రంగా నియంత్రించాల్సి ఉంటుందని చెబుతున్నారు.
**(14:02)** ప్రతిరోజూ జపం చేయడం, పరిమితంగా ప్రసాదం లేదా ఆహారం తీసుకోవడం, రాత్రి త్వరగా నిద్రపోవడం, ఆధ్యాత్మిక గ్రంథాలు చదవడం, రోజును వృథా చేయకుండా గడపడం వంటి క్రమశిక్షణలు పాటించాలని ఆయన సూచిస్తున్నారు.

Transcript:
(00:00) Yeah. Question, whenever I get angry and uh sometimes nightfall happens, my body is also very fiery in nature. Fiery in nature. >> Uh [clears throat] anger doesn't have any connection to nightfall. At all. No connection. >> [laughter] >> Actually, night nightfall happens because in the daytime we have some bad contemplation, due to which some you know, the semen becomes condensed.
(00:33) Correct? From the from the situation of a steam type of situation to the condensed water. Like that becomes condensed. And when the condensed thing keeps filling up the packet, you know, on one particular packet, when it overflows, that's what we call as nightfall or sometimes uh we also may ejaculate and try to release the semen because the there is a uh erection of the genitals when the the packet is filled.
(01:01) Mhm. So, one feels that agitation. And one indulges in masturbation, which is actually very bad because when we indulge in masturbation, a lot of energy is wasted by that. Because the two seeds are there, no? What do you call it? Testicles. Testis, we call it. So, the testis is the place where this uh viscous semen is formed.
(01:19) Uh The uh yeah, dormant semen converts into viscous semen in the testis. So, the testis is compared to be to the root of the whole body. See, from the root the tree supplies water to the uh whole tree. Like that from the testis, you know, if the semen is not made viscous, then the whole body, mind, soul, all three are energized completely.
(01:48) A person is physically healthy, mentally stable, and spiritually blissful. So, all three are made possible when one does not waste the semen, huh? Now, uh imagine you got milk and you converted the milk into dahi, then you churned the dahi and you brought butter, and you take the butter and throw it out of the window.
(02:12) Will you do that? It's like that only. Releasing semen is like that. You up to the Making butter takes lot of effort or not, isn't it? Yeah. You bring It's like a butter level you bring it and then you throw it out. Now, >> [clears throat] >> many people who suffer from this type of uh releasing semen, actually, this is a biological phenomenon, the body.
(02:37) It happens uh step by step, but it begins with thought and contemplation. So, as a spiritualist, we want to kill the impure thoughts. Work on that level. Even the devotees with high character also, uh whether wantingly [clears throat] or unwantingly, you will see that some bad contemplation will happen when we are moving in the material world, especially in the city life, huh? We're moving.
(02:59) So, little little bad contemplation may go in, and we have to keep on rectifying that bad outlook, >> [clears throat] >> from Ravana outlook to Hanuman outlook. We have to keep changing it. And keep doing it. But if if this happens occasionally, like the releasing the nightfall, if it is happening, so actually, when a brahmachari becomes discouraged, if there was one brahmachari who was actually having masturbation going on two times, huh? Or three times he was doing like that.
(03:30) One day he came and said, "Puja, you know, one day only I did two times, three times." he said. Because once he starts doing that, then it keeps coming again and again, it comes. So, then they get discouraged in the ashram life because uh then it becomes like a there's some fear and and one feels that maybe I need marriage or something.
(03:51) There are people who even after marriage do masturbation also. And imagine, you may think that oh, you got a wife, now you can beget children. No. This is some kind of habit formation. Uh you'll be surprised to know that in the beginning the masturbation happens because of remembrance of opposite sex. But after you have advanced in spiritual life, the remembrance of opposite sex may not necessarily come.
(04:16) But one has a craving for enjoying pleasure. Huh? Because the agitating the genitals, it release it releases orgasm. It releases a semen. That release of semen gives a sense of pleasure. And the jiva is craving for that pleasure. And when we don't get a higher pleasure, when we feel sometimes lonely, or we sometimes feel boredom, when we feel that I cannot watch Netflix, I cannot scroll the you know, mobile, you know, I am not allowed to watch movies, I can't play cricket, then sometimes the jiva jiva feels too restricted.
(04:59) And he has not yet developed a spiritual higher taste to study shastra and religion, develop attraction to Krishna also. So in that case, then what happens? Uh what is easily accessible is masturbation. And then one thinks that oh, if I agitate the genitals, I get some kind of pleasure. Especially when you're in teenage, when you're 14 or 16 or something, first time you do this, and you wonder, "Hey, what is this?" This is because it's a heavenly pleasure kept in a earthly body.
(05:26) Which one? The releasing, yeah. It's a heavenly type of pleasure kept in a earthly body. And then one thinks, "Oh, I don't have to depend on anybody. I can myself keep agitating it and then releasing it, and I can enjoy." Because at that time one is ignorant completely. But then one Many people release it several times.
(05:44) And then as you keep releasing again and again, you can easily see the outcome of this behavior. Number one, we feel physically very weak. And if one is repeatedly doing it two, three, four times in a week, then one feels burning sensation in the senses also. One feels a burning sensation. Or one wants to indulge in it, at same time one doesn't want also.
(06:08) Huh? One is unable to give up. So, one feels guilty. This is another thing. There's a strong guilt coming from the heart. When one indulges in it, and the guilty feeling tells you, "Hey, this is absurd. This shouldn't be done." The beauty is what? This guilt feeling comes even for people in the West also. Not only because we are Indian we have some culture, therefore we are feeling.
(06:28) No. Huh? [snorts] Even in the West people go and ask the doctor, "Why whenever I do this I get something from inside is you know, causing some problem to me." So, hm uh this uh so, physically one suffer one suffers from weakness. And mentally one feels guilty. Huh? And uh then one also loses the the sharp focus.
(06:54) Huh? In what I have to do and how I have to focus, what is the purpose. Uh clarity goes off, confusion sets in, indecision, you know, lack of courage, confidence, timidity comes. Huh? Fear comes. One starts speaking lies. One feels many times one cannot express one's emotions. One becomes timid. All complications come because of this.
(07:17) Huh? So, we uh how do we address this uh um issue of nightfall or the masturbation. One important thing I will tell all of you, um if these things are happening, don't think that, "Oh, I'm gone now. Maybe I have to marry." Because marriage is not the solution for this. Huh? It's not that after marriage it's going to completely So, okay, marriage ho gaya, abi no more problem.
(07:41) It's not like that. In marriage also, how many times one can unite with a wife and beget children? How many hundred children are you going to beget? Two, three, four children. And according to Prabhupada's standard in his purport, what he says, one should unite. Maybe you can do try two, three months. >> [clears throat] >> And during a certain time of the month, they will try to unite.
(08:01) And once that lady conceives the child, after that one is supposed to >> Restrain. >> Uh restrain. Completely stop the sex. And then if you want a child, then again Garbhadhana Samskara. And every time you unite, you have to chant how many rounds? >> 50 rounds. >> [clears throat] >> 50 rounds. Yeah. And the 50 rounds you chant, and then you can make an effort.
(08:19) So people make sometime one or two efforts only. They'll make and then immediately the lady is conceived when they go to doctor. After that you're not supposed to enjoy. So when Brahmananda Prabhu heard this, he said, "My Lord, you know, better to give it up." He said, "Prabhupada said, 'Yes, that's the point.'" Prabhupada said.
(08:33) Uh-huh. Prabhupada said, "That is the point." Because the more you indulge in this, our tool we become like a tool like an animal. We become more bodily conscious by indulging in this activity. So if you want to become divine, go from human to divine, then we have to you know, reduce it and completely avoid it.
(08:54) So one of the keys for a brahmachari is don't worry about this nightfall or the masturbation. Worry about what thought is going in which is causing this. Work at the thought level. If you overwhelm the thoughts spiritually, you overwhelm the mind and senses with Krishna conscious inputs, for which we are often lazy.
(09:18) See, people want to be lazy for Krishna conscious activities, but they want to control masturbation. How is it possible? Huh? So you can see a king of the whole world that verse Krishna Padaravindaya says, king was fully engaged in >> Krishna service. >> So when one fully engages in Krishna's service, there is no scope for any other distraction.
(09:41) Let us say that a devotee was fully engaged in Krishna's service day and night, but suddenly he got agitation, and then he got nightfall or masturbation, then it then then Krishna will take care because you have been fully engaging your mind and senses. There was no ideal time. Huh? You are beyond the nose having service engagements and studying, preaching, working hard.
(10:04) You are giving your sweat and toil for Krishna. And you can you can see it yourself. Make sure that your schedule is like that. And other devotees are also seeing that this fellow has no other thing to do. Huh? When they see like that, at that time any sin happens with your body, you are not responsible. Huh? Because Krishna says, "Aham tvam sarva papemya mokshishyami.
(10:25) " Are you 24/7 acting only for Krishna's interest? You have no other interest. And that we should pay attention to that. How many of you feel that we are not fully engaged? Correct, no? Yeah. Okay, anybody here who feels, "Prabhuji, I'm already fully engaged 24/7." Any of you say that? Prabhuji used to use the word "fully".
(10:45) He used to say that many times. And Prabhuji coined the term "full-time devotee". Correct, no? Full-time. Full-time devotee means he is satatam kirtayanto mam. He has no other business. You just go from one Krishna service to another Krishna service. Here the challenge that comes is, "Prabhuji, but I don't have so much taste.
(11:03) Thoda maja bhi chahiye." If somebody says. So, therefore somebody once is the Shyam Anand Prabhu gave a reasoning. He said, "Why Krishna conscious devotees eat too much?" Huh? He said before coming to Krishna consciousness, if you see in the government offices and all, people bring a small lunch box.
(11:23) How many of you have seen? People carry like this. You've seen that? My Lord, how And and then somebody said when one becomes a devotee, one eats half plate sabji. Huh? One puts lot of sabzi, lot of to sometime two full plates they can eat. So, where are they getting the capacity to eat a lot? He said, "All the senses when you shut them down, huh? Then they all exert their power in the tongue.
(11:47) " He said. Now they say, >> [clears throat] [laughter] >> Therefore, uh And then what happens? Jitam sarvam jite rase, it said. One who has conquered that tongue has conquered all other senses. He says. So, we are apparently trying to shut all other senses, but we are not shutting the tongue. So, recently I was telling that, you know, the we are holding many old senior devotees camp like a congregation.
(12:23) Sometimes they are 70, 75, 80. But when it comes to eating prasad without discrimination, everybody takes a similar type of plate. Whether it is yatra time or [clears throat] it is any special event, they put so much paneer, so much of sweet. Is it good for the people at 70, 75? What they do? Once it goes in, it doesn't come out.
(12:42) Then they put some powder. Krr krr krr krr krr krr Throw it out. It's not good because if our tongue is long even after becoming 70 or 80, you know, then we may have to come again. Prabhupada says for tasting food. Prabhupada says, "Even if you have a mad attachment to a woman, you have to be born again.
(13:01) " Prabhupada says in one place. Correct, no? Yeah. Actually, our attraction has to be good. So, therefore, we have to see our eating habit also because when I overeat, what will happen? Uh senses become strong and we also feel sleepy also. So, when we feel sleepy, then we sleep in the daytime. Uh especially if you have a little private place, you sleep.
(13:24) Then when you sleep in day, the night you don't get sleep. Those who are not able to get sleep at night they middle with genitals there's a possibility so therefore night when you are sleeping tight clothes you put you put dhoti kurta if possible a sweater and a blanket up to your chest a blanket cover yourself so there is no easy access to your private parts you don't have easy access of course this is not enough because if a strong craving is there one will do anything but the mind is from all directions you know put a self restraint
(14:02) for the senses for the mind for the intelligence all these things and therefore in the even before the taste develops devotee is willing to undergo that discipline right now for example we are sitting and chanting it's not that every moment you are experiencing you know it may be challenging some days some day it's ecstatic some day you are static but when we when we make a discipline that I am going to sit and chant I am going to eat only moderate prasadam and I'm going to sleep early at night I'm going to daily read proper books I
(14:42) will not waste one minute of the day I think these are these are more easy than controlling a passionate urge to indulge in masturbation at that time it is very difficult to control one may see that one is forcibly engaged in that and then one later on feels guilt at that time it's more difficult to stop rather than doing that we can control the other side for example this fan rotating fan if you want to stop imagine you put a tall stool and try to hold the wings of a rotating fan is it easy you may cut your hands
(15:13) fingers on the other hand better you go to the switch switch off or switch on a regulator control like that then it can be stopped my this is like the mind, these are like the senses. Like, you know, mind cannot be controlled immediately, suddenly, when mind is pushing you. But, the smart phone in the reality other saying, engage your senses fully in Krishna service, you know.
(15:36) You know, 24/7 keep a watch and guard and that another important thing is the tamo guna to satva guna. If you keep our room very clumsy, you know, all the dirty clothes are hanging, it's very dirty, papers are littered everywhere, you know, then that clumsy environment also causes what guna? Yeah, tamo guna.
(15:59) And tamo guna is a very good friend of dirty activities. Then one is lying in a room like that, one also is inspired to indulge in such bad bad activities. But, imagine you throw water and you take a wiper and clean the room and it's brightly lit, light is coming in the room, there are very few things on the table, like this clean it is.
(16:18) Then the cleanliness also opposes impure activities. Uh, so we can increase the satva more.
