The question asked here was- Can the base energies like (sexual energies) be channelized into something higher which can make geniuses? Is it possible to stop the sexual thoughts with brute force? Does practicing kechari mudra convert one’s sexual energy into higher energy?
[Are Certain Kinds of Thoughts Immoral]
Om Swami says that he does not believe that practicing kechari mudra or doing pranayama can reduce lustful thoughts or convert one’s sexual energy into a higher energy. He says pranayama calms a person and flushes them with energy but it does not purge one of lustful thoughts. What is thought of as immoral by humans is not considered as immoral by nature he says. When people meditate for long, then they can get control of their thoughts and so these sexual thoughts don’t bother them anymore and they are not driven by their sexual desires and don’t waste their sexual energy. If one fills up their time doing beautiful things then there is no idle time for these thoughts to take centrestage he says. Om Swami says that if one feels that these thoughts are immoral then they will feel guilty which will in turn effect the consciousness of the person making them weak. One needs to be strong to take control of these thoughts. Any thought which interrupts a person from doing their work is worth harnessing says Om Swami.
