- What is the significance of celibacy on the spiritual path? Sadhguru explains that celibacy is just the surface of what once came from a very deep understanding. He describes brahmacharya as an effort to organize oneself so that everything you need is within yourself - to move from being a compulsive human being to a conscious one.

Oh my God I missed this old style of video. No over editing , just perfect
It's not editing it's just that he decreased his intestity
agreed. the overediting, makes it too marketingy and distracting these days
Sadhguru's explanation is crystal clear. There is no room for discussion. Just listen.🕉️
So many people do Yoga everyday , and only a few realize YOGA.
So many people seek happiness actively everyday, but only a few are HAPPY. 😂😉🙏🏽

Does it need any mention here ! It's known to each one and every one ! Has someone ever attempted UPSC ! If so, when and on how many occasions ! Has he got through ! Does someone have an answer to it !

Whenever, for some reason, I loose touch with my Shambhavi, I start watching Sadhguru on CZcams and somehow I am able to get back on track. Every single time
What do you mean lose touch ? the experience isn't as deep or you stop practicing all together?
Being a Brahmchari I can say it is the ultimate joy. ❤
Please,could you elaborate on how it's joyful.
No ,you have to say like this "being a brahmachari it's the ultimate joy for some people but not all"
If you being a brahmachari then you have to control your body pleasures which is possible only if you do yoga and meditation and you have to go another place where distraction are less this will happen only a short time after a long time you will bored from this kind of life because the truth of life ( purpose of life) nobody knows.
Everything is biased (perspective) .
In this practical life there are many couples which are sad their relationship and some are happy with their relationship.
So being a brahmachari it's the ultimate joy for some people but not for all.
Thanks
Meant no disrespect,I am not convinced whether bramhacharya can change someone radically. I am against suppression because suppression has not helped me but made it worse.🙏
@@Vipin39166 dopamine deprivation from sexual abstinence increases enjoyment of simple pleasures such as seeing nature, singing, enjoying friends, and spiritual practice.
@@LPNH12161 Yes, in some cases the married life is better for a person who cannot control lust at all.
More than celibacy I think purity, both mental and physical, is essential for good spirituality and wellbeing.
Daily powerful sadhana is essential.. everything else comes behind that.. one after the other naturally..
It’s very hard to transmute sexual energy if you have a lot of it, sometimes yoga, pranayama, eating less meat etc is not enough I cannot always retain it I start looking at females like objects. I am working on this it is a big obstacle for me.
Sexual energy is related to creating capability and willing. I strongly advise you to invest that energy into something that is creative and that you're creating yourself, you'll be surprise by the balance it'll provide you on the matter of sexual desires.
@@killuminatusplays2001 start shambhavi mahamudra kriya (u can learn it in inner engineering).. very powerful sadhana..
Also abstaining from sexual througts is part of it ,this sexual energy is important,
They say watch one sadghuru video a day and the demons stay away 🙏😂 Namaste 🙏 ❤
I have started working out past 11 days trying to change myself...that's all....energy + mental coolness
This is needed
discipline is what's needed, fasting and celibacy are acts that prove discipline
It's not discipline. Its a realization. You don't need discipline if you don't want something. I can have a bottle of alcohol sit in my house and not drink it because I don't want to drink it - there's no discipline involved. When you see sex isn't giving you anything of value then you'll just drop it. But it comes from deep within otherwise you fight the urge and that leads to mental illness. If you look at the people in the world, the people often who have nothing else engage in sex the most. The women from bad childhoods etc always see the value in their bodies to other people so they'll have sex with many men and have many children with different fathers... They're giving the world the most base offering - the natural built in functions. It's more than the body or mind. It's not a judgement, it's just falling into a state.
Yes. Skill is developed through practice.
Well said 🎉
LOL. There is nothing to prove to anyone but yourself. There is no perfect human, never will be. Come as you are. Perfection will never be in human form. That is reserved when we are back to being pure energy.
@@irishto4706 i never said you had to do it for other people "LOL"
Yes being involved in the unity of the universe is key
I see it as being in present helps spirituality.
Namaskaram Sadhguru❤
Well said! Thank you! 🙏
Right time
Just find your inner unique richness, enjoy the way this richness interacts with with the world!
Nice 👍🏽💚
Thank you Sadhguru for your education and insight. Being alone enables me to think clearly and achieve more. I am lonely amongst people who have nothing in common with me. Their focus in life and interests are of little significance to me.
The notions of purity and desecration are human inventions that apply to human behavior and self- management. The world as it is has no need for the concept of purity or celibacy or division across invented lines. There are no lines in nature. There is a visual misinterpretation that where light meets dark a line is made. Once we understand that everything belongs we can practice living it. That process involves relating to things healthfully. Loves turn into love. All the kinds of separated love become love itself. You cannot be impure when you live inside of love.
Practise?
Thank you ❤
I think you should neither hold yourself back nor pursue things for the wrong reasons. The wrong reason is to use whatever it is as a means to end your suffering or to bring you happiness. To express truth or happiness is the right motivation.
Namaskarma Sadhguru ♥
Namaste Sadhguru🙏🙏🙏...
Brahmacharya is the foundation if you one is trying to master Yoga.. However, the current culture in India is so much adulterated that Brahmacharya is being viewed as a weakness or disability... In many cases, its beyond people 's comprehension how one can travel on this path... So, I see there is a greater scope for expanding your operations across India especially in Northern Karnataka, North India, Delhi where people chase physical pleasures explicitly. Have heard people fall into depression and suffer mentally if they get restricted from physical pleasure due to emergency circumstances like Covid..Please open Isha ashram and help people to evoolve into independent human beings in these places Sadhguru...
I must thank Sadhguru ❤
Try Nietzsche will to power😊😊😊
Really interesting 🤔
Great explanation 🙏🏼 much needed this clarification thank you Sadhguru 🙏🏼
100% agree. This talk is quite profound for me on deep history of many of today’s religions and cultures. If celibacy "came from the west", then why the modern Buddhist monks practice this. Buddhism is East.
Also if you dig deep, you see yogic practices and and languages (Sanskrit) are so widespread in Latin and many of the eaatern languages as well. I found that yogic teachings/influeces go beyond 6000 years in many cultures in many continents and Sadhguru confirmed that lol. 🙏
I’ve been celibate a year and I feel I’ve opened up more spiritually.
I support your spiritual journey & commend your year of celibacy. Love & light to you. 🕉️
@@tori_75 Thank you! ♾️🦋❤️🫶🏽🙏🏽💎 Ase
🙏🏻 I’m noticing a theme here
I been celibate for 10 years
You maybe addicted to celibacy then
Have you noticed a difference of 1 year celibacy to 10 years of celibacy?
Namaskaram sadhguru🙏
If your on a mission. There's no end to chaste. It's always in line with mission. The deeper the mission the deeper the chaste. When we give up human go to things . There's any depth of richness available not ever fathomed before. You give yourself realized power you realize within yourself. Giving up food for others is like giving yourself an edge upwards for the next bigger thing that matters. Because you already gave up your food you now have a bigger appetite.
Yes something is to be said about support from others . You will redirect yourself to something because humans need to have focus and direct energy into something .
Catholics before the Concilio Vaticano II in 1969 knew exactly these things.
How in the world I get these videos at the right time!!!!??????
It depends on your teacher. What your teacher tells you to do.
Thank you Sadhguru #savesoil #savesoilmovement
Pranam! Sadhguru popularized Shiva in the west but did not create a structure same as Shrila Prabhupada, in each big city in the world. Once Sadhguru is gone all his pupils will be dissipate without Him and that structure. It’s heartbreaking. Please Guru live very long or leave structure after Yourself.
Obviously Sadhguru says somewhere it will be needed in the path; it should be understood in the context of reaching out the ultimate; Celibacy without proper context is not expressive.
Thank you Sadhguru🌹🙏🌹

I tried celibacy for a few months & also clean eating at the same time (no preservatives)
i honestly had a full blown spiritual awakening, people would think I'm crazy if I tried to describe how I felt & the things I started experiencing
unfortunately, I met a girl & I'd say I lost most of what started happening to me.
A lot of resources thats used by our brain is shared to produce our seed, wasting that burns up a lot of energy & I think it DOES have a huge impact with spirituality
So what is Hanuman a celibate or brahmachari??
🌲Sadhguru🌳🌿🌸🌹🙏
It's more the body mind have to follow yes yes I agree totally
Listen at least stay in celebacy...until you don't get married...
Pls don't watch any adult content until you don't get married 😊❤
However, Dear and Wonderful they are Nobody in the world is reliable 24 hours the time to maintain your Love and Joy!!
The older Sadhguru videos were the REAL DEAL. We miss these. Not so much of the same mass appealing surface level stuff with hotel lobby music that has been uploaded in recent years.
Nobody can do it all. I like this message about having limited reliability. Brahmachari's are special people, I doubt everybody who calls themselves this are actually it. Those who are probably know it too
its good to get high not drunk, the state of being is human experience
If you are planning to follow Raja Yoga it's required. Else Bakthi or Karma yoga doesn't require
I believe so
Having sex with multiple partners is just a western thing.. also its for the ego.. and also compulsive thing.. its better to stay alone than to indulge in another body
Is it possable to do both .
Celibacy is mandatory for the Catholic Priests etc because the Church recognized how expensive and complicated it would be to have clergy who are having families. Clergy are generally paid very little although they dedicate their lives to their ministry. Also celibate/non married clergy can focus on their ministry without the distraction of a family of their own. Finally, married Priests need support and somewhere to live when they retire... Very expensive and cumbersome considerations for the Church.
I bet they will keep it that way....
🙏🙏🙏
Looks like I'm doing it whether it's needed or not 😕
In fact, spirituality does not require celibacy. Sexual relationship is a consequence and therefore a debt, a physiological condition. Very similar to addiction, this habit can become a vice, or it can be managed with good technique, until you break free and become a holy eunuch. There are eunuchs who are born eunuchs from the womb. Others become eunuchs because of vicious men. And there is a type of eunuch who manages to become a eunuch because he recognizes his androgyny, which is the Kingdom of God. A fraternal greeting to all, from Medellín (Ant.), Colombia.
नमस्ते 😊🥰🤣
🙏🏻
Very interesting, as always, apart from one thing : Sadhguru seems to be implying that all spiritual currents and practices almost always came directly or indirectly from India throughout the last millenials. I would love religions historians to adress this point.
Hii
🙏>>>💚
👍👍
🙏🙏🙏🙇

❤❤❤
If you’re sensitive to energy, I would be celibate 😊
Well I'm over it

Sir i have been seing many vedios but ultimately tou say do this or that but now how to do it.
We are all mandane humans, so don't you think you Har to say more abt how to rater than simply what to?
Please.
Here you talk abt comulsiveness but how to trar us apart from it that is not said.
Why sir?
What's mandatory for salvation is - PURITY OF HEART AND PURITY OF CHARACTER - and nothing else ! No religion or guru, worth the name, can bring this about, however hard and long one may try, unless, someone tries to purify oneself, from within, on one's own effort !
How to do it😢
@@footballfan3498
"You have to grow from inside out ! None can teach you, none can make you spiritual ! There's no other teacher but your own soul !" - Swami Vivekananda.
It seems - someone, who has lost the morale courage/guts to speak directly, now finds it expedient to indulge in a soliloquy, instead - completely out of context ! How disgusting it looks !
Have I said anything to the contrary ! The answer is very much implicit in the narrative, itself ! What's absolutely required is - proper application of mind ! However, it's an altogether different issue, if someone feigns ignorance intentionally ! How right was the great Lao Tzu in his assessment in saying - "The truth is not always beautiful nor beautiful words the truth !"
To get optimum satisfaction as also to ascribe some semblance of authenticity to it, why don't someone put this question to one's own conscience ! Because, conscience never lies ; provided, ofcourse, someone has any !

3.7 celibacy is must. One should not spill the sperm on daily basis. If child is required, it's okay only with certain limit. If sperm is gone, no possibility not only in spirituality. This is why hata yoga❤
I take it that this applies only to people with testicles, not ovaries?
😮
I found upon realisation of self after a while I just naturally effortlessly lost interest in sex desire relationships want as when self is realised one becomes complete and happy in one's own beingness aloneness is not loneliness I now have no desire for relationship or sex ,single 7 and 3 qtr years personally I've never been happier in my own self that's been my own personal experience

Your willpower to create a lifestyle that is based on this path or another is not enough. You need to transform your subconscious mind and/or chemical composition of your body to be determined and sustained in it. So you can try forcing celibacy or any other weird abstaining (or even over-exposure) practice to make a change but ultimately, the success will not depend on you. This video can have limited effects on your subconscious mind.
the spirit is on a path , marriage may be too much work for most people since they look for 'other half' to complete them selfes, even sounds like half person need one half more to complete its being haxhahxa
❤🎉❤🎉❤
Celibacy is NOT balance.
A DAYASAGAR
You will never know Discipline without Abstaining from Fornication. Physical Validation isn't needed for Spiritual Growth. Desires of the Flesh are the Root of Suffering. To become aware enough to know that you need nothing is the way to transcend our Human Nature. To Deny the Very things that make us Human. (Having a Partner & or Family).
Celibacy helps spirituality but it is not required .
How?
Try it...and see😊@@ABCDuwachui
Nope. You are wrong. When you mingle your body with other souls, you are no longer spiritual
@@ABCDuwachui lts a matter of energy ,every time you have sex you expend energy ,and the more energy you have the better your control over all matters spiritual . If you expend energy your control is not as good i.e. control over your awsreness .
@@ihama99 Once again it is a matter of energy , some are born with more energy than others, these ones need not be so particular but the rule is if you want control over your own being dispense with sex .
In 2022, India overtook China as the country with the largest population in the world, with more than 1.43 billion people.
Apparently few Indians are in agreement with celibacy lol
Indians and rabbits....lol..i say in jest.
Do not have 100 % expectation upon another human being. The materialist cannot satiate all the whims of any particular human being.
See sadguru Vishnu became kali guy
First of all celibacy is not possible for 99.999 percentage of people because nature will prevent them for doing celibacy and that the reason why very few people have been celibate, Swami Vivekananda, bodhidharma, gautam buddha ,etc . And in today's time pornography, openness, is becoming very common day by day in many Asian countries so now it is not possible very much then it was in the past . Plus lot of people pretend to be celibate but I know most of them have erectile dysfunction and they are hiding behind such terms like brahmachari, or nofap or calibate.
just stop fapping mate
AHIMSA(Non-Violance, non-Impureity, Spiritual Desipline);
Celibacy - physical mastery, non animalistic characteristics, pure Pius action, pure thoughts, pure intentions, nullification of cravings; lust, hunger, wanting anything gross etc.
As practice goes on as a true yogi every thing drops off naturally. This isn't a hobby or a fun time part time entertainment or escape for few serious practitioner. Only those AWARE & AWAKE knows. All practice counted. Not few selection based on liking. It's a path of fire, path of dissolution of false concepts, destruction of veil of illusion. If your life isn't 360° different when you started your Sadhana and haven't experienced any awakening this year or isn't yearning intensely for the ultimate truth/god/purpose of life you aren't or won't make it through this, literally. Its a Path of the toughest warrior, war and biggest goal. Go back to your illusionary baggage of marriage, kids, enjoyment, position and procession 😂😂😂 ... Only a few dharmic heroes use the Maya to cause awakening of the self and the rest as well as attaining God.
If one's wife and kids are an illusion then so am I and so are you........
First
Don't make accident that your parents made 🤣
De ce minți lumea?
Acharya Prashant was right 🙏
What did he say?
@@themysticlife921 have u ever heard acharya Prashant watched his videos if not i recommend u to please visit his channel and watch some of his videos.He has the largest subscriber base in the whole asia earlier it was carryminati (Ajay Nagar) acharya Prashant has set a new benchmark and this is just unstoppable now
I disagree Sadguru, I mean tantrums tend to go through the body a lot even sexuality is a KUNDALINI process. Results of celibacy is dangerous, the Catholic Church scandals example and their celibacy is to do with taxes in old days they were allowed marriage but charge was losing wealth from inheritance. And if you were married etc and a great yogi then it shouldn’t be a hindrance - Check with your senior guru about worrying and stressing about it JUST DO YAH YOGA and everything will follow - Thailand they go temple part of year as monks but are married the rest and have businesses and entire country- Carefull with celibacy even intimacy Shiva lingam controls this world just have sublimate around it to survive- Do yoga everything Bramachary ignore case doing yoga all that will follow just to your energy and situation. So above so below, top heavy or bottom heavy mind or the feet ignore body hell ignore mind hell- Tantra gift from gods
Ils vont quand en prison ces pourri avec qui j'étais élevé

Et ces pourri de voisins ? Leur famille ?
Ce serait bien maintenant non?!!
My question is why single eye 👁️ in every clickbait of Sadguru video what your conveying to people pl explain directly you cowards
Brahmacharya is state rather than something you are performing. Celibacy forced in any way only leads to degeneracy.
West needs to go.
🙏🏻Right now humans are confused over what to have, how to have, what's said around having, and what's said about how it's said and how it's been said to have been meant against the sayer.
If you don't question yourself ongoing. You never really find yourself out.
Before language, money, refrigerators, and banks. What's the most a human would want to have? 🫐
🙏🏻
