Jainism

Redirecting Sexual Energy

Vital energy conserved through brahmacharya is redirected toward spiritual goals.

Jainism teaches that sexual energy, when conserved, can be transmuted into spiritual power (ojas). This energy fuels meditation, knowledge acquisition, and progress toward liberation.

Conserved vital force becomes fuel for liberation.
