In human life, Brahmacharya is as crucial to the elevation of a human life as a deep foundation is to the construction of a strong building.If the foundation of a building is not deep , then it will collapse due to a hurricane or even a mild earthquake in the future. A person who lacks Brahmacharya in his life can never progress.The secret of achievement of all great men in the world is the practice of this.Let alone humans or God, even demons resorted to this great vow in order to accumulate power and strength.Who has not heard of the sacred glories of the Bal-Brahmchari. It was through the power of this , that Jagat guru Shankracharya imbibed the knowledge of Vedanta and defeated the most eminent scholars to gain the title of Jagat Guru.
So what is Brahmacharya? It is formed of two words - brahm+ charya. the word brahm has many meanings.The main meaning is God and the meaning of word charya are reflection, study , acquisition and protection. So when joined together some of the meanings of brahmacharya is the combination of God and study, protection semen.
Life is saved and prolonged by preserving semen and death is hastened by letting out semen from the body.As long as the king is strong his kingdom thrive with wealth, grain,prosperity and peace, and protected from foes.But when the king becomes weak, his kingdom becomes unprotected and deprived of happiness. It is attacked by external enemies and looted by internal thieves.Similarly, when semen, the king of the body, becomes weak, the body, sense, mind, life-force, and intellect become weak. It is attacked from out side by disease, fear etc. while just,anger, greed and pride start plundering from within. The life of that person becomes a burden on earth, digestive fire becomes mild, disease like gonorrhea and wet dreams attack him, his cheeks shrink and his eyesight becomes weak. One is unable to concentrate on anything
Like a deflated football becomes useless, or sugarcane becomes worthless when the juice has been extracted from it. Like milk loses its nutritive value once cream is separated from it, similarly a man without semen loses vigour, strength and becomes dull.
