<div class="heading">To live with wife, together as a gṛhastha, and enjoy gṛhastha life, at the same time to live in temple, this should be discouraged. Temple is meant for brahmacārī and sannyāsī, our, mainly, not for gṛhastha, because they have got inclination to enjoy. To live with wife means enjoyment. They'll have sex. This should be discouraged. But one who is absolutely required, they also cannot be allowed to live together.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Conversation: Vairagya, Salaries, and Political Etiquette -- April 28, 1977, Bombay|Conversation: Vairagya, Salaries, and Political Etiquette -- April 28, 1977, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Niṣkiñcanasya. One who has decided that "This world is useless. I have to take birth repeatedly and accept different types of bodies and suffer." Body means... Those who have understood this fact and disgusted, so bhakti line is for them. One who has the tendency to enjoy this material world, and they are taking advantage of God, "Give me good wife, give me good work, good meal, good enjoyment," they are not in the bhakti line. They are in the very nascent stage.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Nescient stage?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Lower stage. Vairāgya-vidyā-nija-bhakti-yogam ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 6.254|CC Madhya 6.254]]). That... There is one verse written by Sarvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya. What page I don't... Śikṣārtham. The bhakti-yoga, nija-bhakti-yoga... Bhakti-yoga means devotion to Kṛṣṇa. And that is vairāgya-vidyā, how to learn, renounce this world. Otherwise why Caitanya Mahāprabhu gave up His gṛhastha life? He's the same person. Why Rūpa Gosvāmī gave up their ministership? By their personal behavior they are showing this is not required. This is vairāgya-vidyā. So under the circumstances, those who have no vairāgya, they cannot live in the temple. They are taking advantage of the temple facilities for their sense enjoyment. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, I do.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So that should be stopped. So to live with wife, together as a gṛhastha, and enjoy gṛhastha life, at the same time to live in temple, this should be discouraged. Temple is meant for brahmacārī and sannyāsī, our, mainly, not for gṛhastha, because they have got inclination to enjoy. To live with wife means enjoyment. They'll have sex. This should be discouraged. But one who is absolutely required, they also cannot be allowed to live together. It is badly done(?). Suppose if one is gṛhastha, he is in devotional service, but he has no money to look after his wife. In that case the wife can live in the temple but separately with women, not together. Together living is very disturbing. It is not at all recommended. Give this point. At least, this should not be encouraged.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Generally in our temples, within the temple building no gṛhasthas live together, but in the temple compound, that is to say, around the temple, there may be other buildings. There they live together. But it's...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, I am speaking, within the temple.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I think practically all over the society that has been stopped, the gṛhastha living together with wife. I don't think there's any case like that. But in the adjoining buildings they might be...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Adjoining buildings... But the temple should not provide them with salary to enjoy their life. That is same thing.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Generally the temples are providing them with apartments, like that.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But that is temple.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Just like we have got so many tenants. They are living in their own. But they have no connection with the temple, neither the temple is paying them or... No, they are earning their own way.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In other words, if the temple provides an apartment, it's the same as paying a salary.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In other words, giving an apartment is the same thing as providing a salary.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All right, apartment can be... But what is this? They are given high salary. Because his service is essential—"All right, you take apartment."</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But not...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You take prasādam. But why salary? Where is the question of salary? Where is vairāgya, renouncement? So in all circumstances the salary process should be stopped. One who wants salary, he can work outside.</p>
