CHAPTER- 5.1 Wet dream and voluntary copulation—A vital difference
A sexual act shatters the nervous system. The whole nervous system is shaken or agitated during the act. There is excessive loss of energy. More energy is wasted during coitus. But it is not so when emission occurs during the dreaming state. In a wet dream, it may be the outflow of the prosthetic juice only. Even if there is loss of the vital fluid, there is not much draining. The actual essence does not come out during wet dreams.
It is only the watery prosthetic juice with a little semen that is discharged during nocturnal pollution. When nocturnal emission takes place, the mind which was working in the inner astral body suddenly enters the physical body vehemently in an agitated condition. That is the reason why emission takes place suddenly.
The night discharge may not stimulate the sexual desire. But a voluntary copulation, in the case of a sincere aspirant is highly detrimental to his spiritual progress. The Samskaram created by the act will be very deep; and it will intensify or strengthen the force of the previous Samskaras that are already embedded in the subconscious mind and will stimulate the sexual desire. It will be like pouring ghee in the fire that is slowly getting extinguished.
The task of obliterating this new Samskaram will be an uphill work. You should completely give up copulation. This mind will try to delude you in a variety of ways by giving wrong counsel. Be on the alert. Do not hear its voice, but try to hear the voice of the conscience or the voice of the soul or the voice of discrimination.
