Ojas (Vitality)

The Economic Theory of Spirit

Ayurveda speaks of Ojas (The Vital Honey).

It is the final metabolic distillate of food by the seven tissues (Dhatus).

1 kg of food -> drops of Blood -> drops of Bone Marrow -> drops of Ojas.

Ojas is your immunity, your glow, your resilience.

Cannabis burns Ojas.

This is the dark secret.

Because it is Tikshna (Sharp) and Ushna (Hot), it scrapes the tissues. It borrows energy from tomorrow to pay for the high of today.

If you use it daily without replenishing, you become "Ojas-depleted."

Symptoms: Dark circles, anxiety, weak joints, lack of motivation, dry skin, dull eyes.

The Compensation Strategy

If you are a Tantric using the plant, you MUST consciously rebuild Ojas.

You cannot live like a normal person.

1. Diet: You must eat Rasayana (Rejuvenating) foods. Ghee, Milk, Almonds, Dates, Honey, Saffron. (Hence the recipe of Bhang).

2. Brahmacharya: You must conserve sexual fluids. Frequent ejaculation + Frequent Cannabis = Rapid Aging.

3. Sleep: You must sleep before 10 PM. The hours before midnight build Ojas.

The Exchange

The Tantric Law of Exchange:

"For every unit of altered consciousness you take, you must pay a unit of vital force."

The casual smoker pays with their health.

The Yogi pays with their discipline.

If you are not willing to pay the price in Ghee, Sleep, and Semen Retention, do not touch the sharp sword of Vijaya. It will cut you.

"To fly high, you need a heavy anchor. To burn bright, you need plenty of oil."
