Mind, Prana and Veerya are the three links of one chain. They are the three pillars of the edifice of Jivatma. Destroy one pillar – mind, Prana or Veerya – and the whole building will fall to pieces.
Mind, Prana and Veerya are one. By controlling the mind, you can control Prana and semen. By controlling Prana you can control the mind and semen. By controlling semen, you can control the mind and Prana.
मन, प्राण और वीर्या एक श्रृंखला के तीन लिंक हैं। वे जीवात्मा के संपादन के तीन स्तंभ हैं। एक स्तंभ को नष्ट करें – मन, प्राण या वीर्या- और पूरी इमारत टुकड़े-टुकड़े हो जाएगी।
मन, प्राण और वीर्या एक हैं। मन को नियंत्रित करके आप प्राण और वीर्य को नियंत्रित कर सकते हैं। प्राण को नियंत्रित करके आप मन और वीर्य को नियंत्रित कर सकते हैं। वीर्य को नियंत्रित करके आप मन और प्राण को नियंत्रित कर सकते हैं। …

“Logic”
50. Want of Time, A groundless Complaint
(Dr. Johnson and an Enquirer)
(Contd..)
Dr. Johnson said – "Look here, what is this Earth of yours? This Earth is nothing, this Earth is looked upon as a mathematical point in astronomical calculations. When we are calculating the distance of stars and suns, we regard this Earth as nil, as a cipher, and three-fourths of this cipher or world is occupied by water, and what is occupied by water, and what is left out of that? Mark? A great deal is taken up by barren sands and a considerable part is taken up by barren hills and stones and a considerable part is taken up by lakes and rivers; again a considerable part of this Earth is occupied by sites of big cities like London; again roads, railroads, streets take up a great deal of this Earth. What is there in this Earth left for man?
We will suppose that there is something left for man out of all that. But how many living beings are there, who want to take advantage of the insignificant part of the soil that is left? There are many birds, so many ants, so many horses, so many elephants, all of these want to keep themselves on the Earth that is left and is capable of producing anything; very little falls to the lot of man. How many men are there in this world? Look at London, full of millions and millions of men. Look at this enormous population, all this wants to feed upon the insignificant part of this big cipher or this world. How can the Earth produce food enough for my satisfaction? My logic leads me to this desperation, to this sad conclusion that I should die, because I can find no Earth which can produce food to feed me."
Now the man said, "Doctor, your argument is not right; your logic seems to be right but still despite this logic of yours, this Earth can keep you." And Dr. Johnson said, "Sir, if this complaint of mine is groundless, your complaint that you have got no time to supply yourself with spiritual food is also groundless. If the earth is sufficient to supply me with material food, time also is sufficient for your purpose; it can also supply you with spiritual food."
MORAL: Want of time for spirituality is a groundless complaint. There is enough time under any circumstances, if one makes a proper use of it and will to do a thing. …

“6. The Value Of Semen”
“Modern medical opinion”
If the spermatic secretion in men is continuous, it must either be expelled or be reabsorbed. As a result of the most patient and persevering scientific investigations, it has been found that whenever the seminal secretions are conserved and thereby reabsorbed into the system, it goes towards enriching the blood and strengthening the brain.
Dr. Dio Louis thinks that the conservation of this element is essential to strength of body, vigor of mind and keenness of intellect. Another writer, Dr. E.P. Miller, says: "All waste of spermatic secretions, whether voluntary or involuntary, is a direct waste of the life force. It is almost universally conceded that the choicest element of the blood enters into the composition of the spermatic secretion. If these conclusions are correct, then it follows that a chaste life is essential to man’s well-being." …
