Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures
Śīlavatī: You said that as long as one is engaging in sex life one cannot become a yogi.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Śīlavatī: Yet the other day you were extolling the virtues of household life and you said, and you named some of the great ācāryas that were householders and you said...
Prabhupāda: Yes, that is bhakti-yoga. In this ordinary yoga system as it will be explained in this chapter, one has to strictly follow the life of celibacy. But in the bhakti-yoga system the whole idea is that you have to fix up your mind in Kṛṣṇa. So whatever position, householder life does not mean to indulge in sex enjoyment. A householder may have wife, may have sex life, but that is for having children only, that's all.Conversations and Morning Walks

Kīrtanānanda: Not very much. Although the idea is there that the best education can be secured when boys are separate in school. That idea is there. The best families have always sent their sons away to school.
Prabhupāda: That should be followed in our system. Boys and girls must be separate. [break] ...introduce now. How long? What is time?
Brahmānanda: It's still a little early.
Prabhupāda: Early? [break]
Guru dāsa: The concept in sport of celibacy is also there. The best sportsmen are supposed to not take intoxicants or also engage in sex life. That was the training. [break]
Ravīndra-svarūpa: ...will end in this park here.
Prabhupāda: Oh. It will come this way?Page Title: | Engaging in sex life |
