Rooted in Brahman
Brahmacharya Prathishtayam Veeryalabhaha|
For the one who is rooted in Brahmacharya - he/she gains a lot of vital energy force. The common understanding of Brahmacharya is sexual abstinence. The word, when split gives the clear meaning Brahma - the divine self and charya - to walk the path. Clearly it means, through the roads of the five sense organs, one has to train the mind on the path of god.
When actions are done in this frame of mind - i.e. while seeing it is the divine you see, while hearing, smelling, touching, tasting and thinking you are aware of the divine essence that runs through everything and thought in the world, then you are rooted in Brahmacharya.
For such people who see the one divine in everything, there is an immense gain in prana shakti which is not dissipated in a wrong and illusory understanding of duality. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
