Đhyan and Stamina: Part –  I

Once I asked PS Malik if it was possible to improve sexual stamina by meditation. The answer given by him is reproduced here for the benefit of readers. It is a long answer it will be delivered in two parts. One and first one is presented now and the second and the remaining part in the next article.

Yes you asked a right question. Like an iceberg only 10% of existence of a person appears at his body level. By viewing the body alone you are just viewing 10% of existence of a person. The remaining 90% resides inside it. As the medical sciences treat a person in its outer sphere of the body and the psychology tries to treat him at his brain level the internal layers of a person can be looked into or treated with only the science of meditation (or more perfectly Đhyan).

Meditation is a limited word and represents only one aspect of Đhyan therefore I will use the word Đhyan here in present context. In a number of problems the cause lies inside the consciousness and only its symptoms appear at the body such disorders cannot be corrected until the healer goes inside the existence. They cannot be treated at the body level. Some problems of sexual stamina relate to this plane of human consciousness.

Đhyan awakens all living instincts of your existence because it integrates your shattered personality. Sexual stamina is nothing from outside. It entirely lies there inside. It is merely a lack of your consistence to put your energy at a particular point at a particular time. Loss of sexual stamina is not the absence of your energy; it is merely your incapability to concentrate your bodily efforts with your mental requirements. It is merely an incoherence. It is a loss of rhythm. When you sing a song without proper melody it is not blissful. Your Lack of stamina is a lack of physical melody. To regain it you have to explore the right tune of your mind and body.

It is not so that you did not have that right tune but it is only that much that you have lost the right track of it. Đhyan will help you reestablish it in a right perspective.

Once a similar question was asked to Osho and he replied it in different words but with the same vista of hope and possibility. He told that the increase in sexual power and the opening of the kundalini passage are simultaneous – not the same, but simultaneous. The increase in sexual power will be the thrust to open up the higher centers; so sexual power will increase. If you can be aware of it and not use it sexually – if you do not allow it to be released sexually – it will become so intense that the upward movement will begin.

First the energy will try its best to be released sexually, because it is its usual outlet, it is the simplest way of its expression;  its usual center. So one must first be aware of one’s downward “doors”; only awareness will close them; only non cooperation will close them. Sex is not so forceful as we feel it to be. It is forceful only momentarily. It is not a twenty four hour affair, it is momentary challenge.

If you can be non cooperative (non cooperative to the sex itself) and aware, it goes. It is washed away by the Ćhitta itself. Conservation of energy is always blissful. Conceive of it, but the feeling is just like a flowering. The closest, the nearest thing that we can say is that it is like a bud opening. It is felt like that. That is why we have conceived of the opening of the Sahastrar as a thousand petal lotus.

So many petals – so many! And they go on opening, they go on opening … the opening is endless. It is a fulfillment; it is a flowering of the human being. Then you become just like a tree, and everything that was in you has flowered.

Then all you can do is to offer this flower to the divine. This will be an unbroken flower. We have been offering flowers but they are all broken ones.

After explaining this all now I tell you some wonderful ways to integrate your inner and outer existence so that this type of problem will never cause a hindrance for you.

Dhyan and Stamina Part II just follows which will tell about the methods and procedures
