| Gurukṛpā: Sanātana Gosvāmī also?
| | Prabhupāda: Householder can eat the whole world and sleep. (laughter) Because he is householder, he has got the concession. Everyone should do that. Householders are unable, that is their incapability. "Because I am householder, I have got the facility to have sex as many times and eat as much . . ." That is not householder. That is ''gṛhamedhī''. There are two words: ''gṛhamedhī'' and ''gṛhastha''. ''Gṛhastha'' is different from ''gṛhamedhī. Gṛhastha āśrama''. Although he's householder, it is ''āśrama'', only for advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is ''gṛhastha''. But ''gṛhamedhī'' cannot do that. (break) ''Gṛha. Ācchā''. Man has got the potency. Otherwise why they are offering to Kṛṣṇa? Everyone has got the potency. We have to utilize it. (aside:) Hare Kṛṣṇa. You understand English? |
| | |
| Prabhupāda: Yes. But for a renounced order of life, the order is you must beg, bhikṣām. Not much. If I can subsist by taking one cāpāṭi, I'll simply ask for one cāpāṭi, not for two cāpāṭis. That is śāstra. If you can without any cāpāṭi, that is very good. But you can ask as much as you require. Not to eat sumptuously and sleep twenty-four hours. No.

| Devotee: And what about householders?

| Prabhupāda: Oh, thank you very much. (break) ...Bhagavad-gītā. Dharmāviruddho kāmo 'smi ([[Vanisource:BG 7.11|BG 7.11]]), "Sex life which is not against religious principle, I am that." Not that sex life, as soon as you like, sex. That is not gṛhastha. That is gṛhamedhī. Dharma-aviruddha. Dharmāviruddho means simply for begetting nice child you can have..., not for enjoyment. Putrārthe kriyate bhāryā. This is Vedic principle. Putraḥ-piṇḍa-prayojanam. A bhāryā, wife, is accepted only for having son, not for any other purpose. Putraḥ-piṇḍa-prayojanam. This is material side, but still, it is religious. First education is brahmacārī, how to train him to avoid sex life. And still if he's not able, then he is allowed to become a gṛhastha, a little concession. Otherwise, the whole Vedic civilization is: how to avoid sex life. Brahmacārī—no sex life. Vānaprastha—no sex life. Sannyāsī—no sex life. Only gṛhastha, under control. That is gṛhastha. Gṛhastha does not mean one who is doing everything whimsically on account of getting this concession. He's not gṛhastha; he's gṛhamedhī. Apaśyatām ātma-tattvaṁ gṛheṣu gṛha-medhinām ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]). Śrotavyādīni rājendra nṛṇāṁ santi sahasraśaḥ, apaśyatām ātma-tattvam... Gṛhamedhī means he does not know what is spiritual life. That is gṛhamedhī. And gṛhastha means he knows what is spiritual life, and he lives on that status. That is gṛhastha. Gṛhamedhī's definition is... Everything is there in the śāstra. Apaśyatām ātma-tattvam. They do not know what is the aim of life. It is like something..., something like cats and dogs. They do not know. Apaśyatām ātma-tattvam ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]). | | Prabhupāda: Oh, thank you very much. (break) . . . ''Bhagavad-gītā.
