MW VRN 1975-09-06 Sex Propaganda Can't Stop Death
1
00:02.784 --> 00:05.474
ANNOUNCER: Next is a
morning walk conversation
2
00:05.475 --> 00:11.056
with His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
3
00:11.057 --> 00:21.907
recorded on September 6th,
1975, in Vṛndāvana, India.
4
00:21.908 --> 00:26.425
PRABHUPĀDA: Tapasya
begins: Brahmācarya.
5
00:26.426 --> 00:27.876
Brahmācarya.
6
00:27.877 --> 00:34.489
Brahmācarya means completely
cessation from sex life.
7
00:34.490 --> 00:38.785
This is brahmācarya.
8
00:38.786 --> 00:42.067
Tapasya begins: Austerity.
9
00:42.068 --> 00:50.333
This is the greatest
austerity: To cease sex.
10
00:50.334 --> 01:05.052
Tapasa brahmācarya.
11
01:05.053 --> 01:08.604
Our Vedic civilization:
12
01:08.605 --> 01:18.612
The boys are trained how to become
brahmacārī from the very beginning of life.
13
01:18.613 --> 01:25.096
INDIAN: [Hindi]
- Ah. [break]
14
01:25.097 --> 01:29.255
…putrakā yena śuddhyet
sattva [SB 5.5.1].
15
01:29.256 --> 01:38.285
Our existentional position
should be purified.
16
01:38.286 --> 01:43.569
How? Tapo, by tapasya.
17
01:43.570 --> 01:49.985
tapo divyaṁ putrakā yena śuddhyet sattva
[SB 5.5.1]
18
01:49.986 --> 01:52.373
“Oh; we are enjoying life.
19
01:52.374 --> 01:59.009
Why we should undergo tapasya?”
20
01:59.010 --> 02:04.894
And you are enjoying, but you are
not enjoying; you are suffering.
21
02:04.895 --> 02:10.164
Even if you think you are enjoying,
there are so many sufferings.
22
02:10.165 --> 02:21.070
That—the foolish people—
they do not know.
23
02:21.071 --> 02:24.631
Just like a healthy man,
he thinks, “I am enjoying.”
24
02:24.632 --> 02:31.438
But he does not see that even he is
now healthy, he will be an old man,
25
02:31.439 --> 02:46.272
he’ll be attacked with disease, he will
die, and still he thinks, “I am healthy.”
26
02:46.273 --> 02:50.187
janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam
[Bg. 13.9]
27
02:50.188 --> 02:54.091
Therefore the intelligent
man will see that
28
02:54.092 --> 02:58.626
“Where is my enjoyment
if I am going to die?
29
02:58.627 --> 03:01.467
[I] don’t want to die,
but I am going to die.”
30
03:01.468 --> 03:04.125
That is sure; as sure as anything.
31
03:04.126 --> 03:09.119
And still the rascal will
think that “I am happy.”
32
03:09.120 --> 03:11.478
He’ll become old man.
33
03:11.479 --> 03:14.585
He’ll be attacked with disease.
34
03:14.586 --> 03:17.714
And still he is thinking
that he is happy.
35
03:17.715 --> 03:25.223
Apart from this, there are so many other
sufferings, but he thinks that he is happy.
36
03:25.224 --> 03:37.088
And that happiness is
centered around sex; that’s all.
37
03:37.089 --> 03:41.999
yan maithunadi-gṛhamedhi-sukhaṁ hi tuccham
[SB 7.9.45]
38
03:42.000 --> 03:54.478
Their only happiness is sex.
39
03:54.479 --> 03:57.341
Therefore, in the
Western countries,
40
03:57.342 --> 04:02.546
they are simply trying to
increase the sex enjoyment.
41
04:02.547 --> 04:10.064
That’s all.
42
04:10.065 --> 04:12.294
- Is it not?
DEVOTEES: Yes.
43
04:12.295 --> 04:20.161
The whole civilization is based
on how to enjoy sex very nicely.
44
04:20.162 --> 04:27.601
This is their basic
principle of civilization.
45
04:27.602 --> 04:29.822
BRAHMĀNANDA: Always
on the best-seller books…
46
04:29.823 --> 04:30.818
- On the
- Huh?
47
04:30.819 --> 04:33.153
- best-seller charts of the books
- Yes.
48
04:33.154 --> 04:41.170
- there is always some book about how to enjoy sex.
- Just see.
49
04:41.171 --> 04:46.757
There are books here
also: Kāma-śāstra.
50
04:46.758 --> 04:54.991
So, sex enjoyment also you
cannot enjoy unlimitedly.
51
04:54.992 --> 04:59.105
Then you will become impotent.
52
04:59.106 --> 05:08.244
Then you will have to call your wife as
“mother,” as some “saintly” person did.
53
05:08.245 --> 05:11.901
He was indulging in
sex in his young age,
54
05:11.902 --> 05:17.557
and when he was married
he saw himself impotent,
55
05:17.558 --> 05:23.788
and therefore he invented some
way that “I have realized [Brahman].
56
05:23.789 --> 05:27.228
I can call my wife also ‘mother.’”
57
05:27.229 --> 05:32.517
And he became famous:
“Oh, he is so advanced.
58
05:32.518 --> 05:34.730
He has learned how to…”
59
05:34.731 --> 05:36.638
But in the history
we will not find this.
60
05:36.639 --> 05:46.332
Even Vyāsadeva had his wife, but
he never said his wife, “mother.”
61
05:46.333 --> 05:50.482
Actually you’re supposed to
see other women as mother.
62
05:50.483 --> 05:52.393
- Yes.
- But not one’s own wife.
63
05:52.394 --> 05:53.768
No.
64
05:53.769 --> 05:55.415
Para-dāreṣu.
65
05:55.416 --> 05:56.883
Mātravat para-dareṣu.
66
05:56.884 --> 06:00.894
That is the injunction of
the śās… Other’s wife.
67
06:00.895 --> 06:05.133
Not that, “Oh, my wife
is also my mother.”
68
06:05.134 --> 06:05.781
Just see.
69
06:05.782 --> 06:15.147
This lunacy is going on, and this lunatic
man is taken as incarnation of God.
70
06:15.148 --> 06:37.774
This is [going on].
71
06:37.775 --> 06:55.823
This homosex propaganda is
another side of impotency.
72
06:55.824 --> 06:57.155
So that is natural.
73
06:57.156 --> 07:11.070
If you enjoy too much, then
you become impotent.
74
07:11.071 --> 07:17.334
They are trying to make that more and
more accepted in America, homosex.
75
07:17.335 --> 07:19.355
Yes; the churches accept.
76
07:19.356 --> 07:26.979
It is already law.
77
07:26.980 --> 07:32.637
The whole world is on
the verge of ruination.
78
07:32.638 --> 07:39.548
Kali-yuga.
79
07:39.549 --> 07:41.084
So many problems.
80
07:41.085 --> 07:43.968
Still it is not on the
verge of ruination?
81
07:43.969 --> 07:45.146
It’s on the verge.
82
07:45.147 --> 07:47.018
That’s all right.
83
07:47.019 --> 07:50.548
- But still there is…
- Why you are a…
84
07:50.549 --> 07:56.530
very much disturbed
with so many problems?
85
07:56.531 --> 07:59.357
DHANAÑJAYA: They always take the brighter side.
- Hmm?
86
07:59.358 --> 08:02.718
They always take the brighter side.
87
08:02.719 --> 08:06.443
No; they are discussing,
“There will be no more petrol.
88
08:06.444 --> 08:09.369
There will be no more
this, no more that.”
89
08:09.370 --> 08:12.146
So they are thinking, “Well,
then we’ll get the sun power.
90
08:12.147 --> 08:15.030
Then we’ll get this
and we’ll get that.”
91
08:15.031 --> 08:18.287
Well, that is the problem.
92
08:18.288 --> 08:22.287
It is not that, “Theoretically
here is a problem.
93
08:22.288 --> 08:26.310
I’ll solve it like this; I’ll…” That
is not solution of problem.
94
08:26.311 --> 08:29.146
Problem is there.
95
08:29.147 --> 08:42.216
When you actually make
solution, then you’ll…
96
08:42.217 --> 08:42.218
