Hey welcome guys wish you all a very good morning and a cheerful day.
This is Madhu Nag joining you on a beautiful Sunday morning from India.
Relax and layback as we take A Journey Inwards.
In Dhammapada, Yamaka Vagga Dhammapada meaning collection of sayings of
Lord Buddha Yamaka Vagga Means twin verses.
It is called so because it contains of two verses.
Lord Buddha beautifully speaks in reference to two incidents which occur during those
times.. about 25 centuries back.
First incident was with reference to an Arahanth called Chakkupala.
Arahanth means an enlightened being and second was with reference to a young Brahmin called
Mattha Kundali.
Both these incidents are very enlightening, but we don't have enough time to get in to
the details, if possible I'll discuss about it in future videos so what is Buddha implying
to in these two incidents?
Why is it important or why is it relevant to today's video?
First, He speaks about how EVEIL BEGETS EVEIL and the
Second is How GOOD BEGETS GOOD?
Let us hear to these verses in the language that Buddha himself spoke and quickly try
to understand the meaning of it.
In the first Verse he says: Mano pubbangamā dhammā
manosetthā manomayā Manasā ce padutthena
bhāsati vā karoti vā Tato nam dukkhamanveti
cakkam'va vahato padam That means
Mind precedes all mental states.
Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought.
If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts, suffering follows him like the wheel
that follows the foot of the ox.
In short he means, 'If you do evil you get evil'.
In the second verse he says.
the first two line remains the same Mano pubbangamā dhammā
manosetthā manomayā Manasā ce pasannena
bhāsati vā karoti vā Tato nam sukhamanveti
chāyā'va anapāyinī That means,
Meaning of the first two lines remains the same.
Mind precedes all mental states.
Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought.
If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness follows him like his never-departing
shadow In short he is saying, 'If you do good you
get good'.
This is why The Buddha stressed so much upon the mind.
To learn what a mind is according to Buddha's teachings, is an enlightening journey in itself
that no one wants to miss.
Buddha was not a founder of any religion as unfortunately misrepresented in the history,
he taught a way of life, his teachings are based on pure science.
to learn about mind and its concomitants according to him.. it needs a proper learning environment its a vast subject
instead of just putting out half theory which might confuse you I would like to discuss
about the mind and the conscious or its contents in an Esoteric way to begin with in this video.
in the future videos let us touch upon the subject in detail according to Buddha's teachings
itself.
Why is mind and its consciousness so relevant to our todays subject i.e NoFap and Semen
Retention?
what are its implications? and how it fluctuates? and why we often get in to relapses? we will
try to understand all these and also we will try to find a solution
I've seen many videos talking about benefits of NoFap, without condemning any of them I
would like to say that there is a higher purpose for NoFap.
Celibacy is a word which is decorated with high regards, very high regards in my country
India not now but from thousands of years.
when we do NoFap it is directly rising our vibrations to the fourth and fifth buckets, step by step
it is taking us towards the ultimate level of consciousness i.e.
Enlightenment and we want to use NoFap for hair growth, getting deep voice, attracting
more women, improving skin complexion or body etc..
etc.. they are byproducts.. we get it..
I'm not saying we don't get it ..let me explain with an example nobody puts a sugar factory
with an intention to get molasses sugar factory is put to get sugar.. molasses is a byproduct
even if you don't ask for it you get it similarly when you do NoFap you get lots of benefits
like longevity in life, luster, strength, vigor, Knowledge, Beauty, Fame, Piety, Hair-growth,
attracting women etc..
etc.. these are byproducts you get it without asking for it our ultimate aim should be to
walk towards full enlightenment getting entangled in these petty benefits that we get from NoFap
could be dangerous lets see why? a person who is addicted to porn and is masturbating
consistently is more likely experiencing the lowest levels of mind i.e. shame, guilt, apathy,
grief and fear.
Now he takes a resolution to stop it and enter in to NoFap zone lets see what happens first,
just this thought that has arisen in his mind is taking him higher to the level of Desire.
Desire of wanting come out of Shame, Desire of wanting to come out of Guilt, Desire of
wanting to come out of Apathy, Grief and Fear and when he actually starts and successfully
completes at least 20% - 30% of his challenge, his vibrations are further rising higher towards
Pride followed by Courage and then without giving up he continues and completes 50% - 60%
of his challenge his vibrations are rising up towards Love & Joy higher and higher realms.
But now lets see what happens when starts thinking in terms of gaining some petty benefits
his vibrations are coming down from Love & Joy to Desire and lets understand out of all desires
a human could possibly have the top two are second one from the bottom is the desire for
eating and the foremost and the most strongest desire is sexual desire.
why do we desire something?
lets break it and see when we desire something and that happens theres a release of dopamine
in the body and that makes us feel good now human mind is such that it starts from small
and starts wanting bigger bigger bigger things here we started from desiring for little benefits
from NoFap such as hair growth, attracting women etc.. and as & when these desires gets
fulfilled dopamine releases and we feel happy then the mind starts asking for more and more
and ultimate form of desire is sexual desire and all the efforts you had put in raising
yourself up-to this level of vibrations goes in vain you give up and Relapse as soon as
you give-up you have dropped down to the lowest level again you feel shameful for having lost
the challenge and because of that you feel Guilt and because of that your mind is filled
with Apathy and now when so much negativity is there in your mind naturally you feel fearful
and then again you will have to fight your way up the ladder you can one should not give-up
you will definitely what I'm trying to say is if the foundation
on which we are building our NoFap resolution is based on desire to get some petty benefits
its like leaving behind strings by using which the latent factor of our mind i.e. craving
will keep pulling us towards the lower fields again and again you will never be able to
reach the heighest levels of consciousness.
Easier said than done the latent habit of craving in us is so strong that when the time
comes we dont know when it overpowers us Buddha called it as Anusaya Klesa that means sleeping
defilements the defilements that are sleeping deep inside our subconscious mind its not
easy to achieve Triumph over it.
I know of an ancient India technique which is over 25 centuries old that can help us
to go to the depths of our mind where these sleeping defilements lies and take it out
from the roots.
Stay tuned guys we will discuss about it in the next video.
