Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I was thinking the next best thing to that is just married people and brahmacārī. If you can't have just married people, then married people and brahmacārī.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is nice. That is nice.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So that's what I told her. It's very difficult to have brahmacārī and brahmacārīṇis all the time together.
Prabhupāda: No. This is not possible. Because brahmacārīs, they are young men, and they are young girls. Naturally, there is disturbance to the mind. Yes. It is just like putting butter pot on fire. That is stated in the Bhāgavata. Nanv agni, pramadāgni ghṛta-kumbha-pāyaḥ pumān. Just like fire. (chuckles)
Fire is a woman, and man is just like butter pot, it is said. Therefore they should not keep together. (laughs) Just like there are some labels in medicine and some . . . "Keep away from fire." Huh? (chuckles) "Keep away from fire." So brahmacārīnī and brahmacārī is not very good combination. But married couple and some brahmacārīs, that is nice. So this girl is married, but she is separated.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. And her children have been placed in the custody of the girl's parents. So the girl does not even have custody of the children. So she is not in any way, so to speak . . . she does not have to stay in this city because of her children, because the courts have decided that her mother will take charge of the children. She has brought them to the temple on the weekend. They're very intelligent. They like to . . . oh, they like the puppets. They like to paint and draw pictures of Kṛṣṇa. So she . . .
Prabhupāda: But how she can travel with you? She has no husband.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No. So what do you think? Is it all right for her to travel with us, or better not to?
Prabhupāda: Because she has no husband.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No.
Prabhupāda: Therefore it does not look very nice.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Doesn't look right.
