MW VRN 1975-09-06 Sex Propaganda Can't Stop Death
1
00:00:02,784 --> 00:00:05,474
ANNOUNCER: Next is a
morning walk conversation
2
00:00:05,475 --> 00:00:11,056
with His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
3
00:00:11,057 --> 00:00:21,907
recorded on September 6th,
1975, in Vṛndāvana, India.
4
00:00:21,908 --> 00:00:26,425
PRABHUPĀDA: Tapasya
begins: Brahmācarya.
5
00:00:26,426 --> 00:00:27,876
Brahmācarya.
6
00:00:27,877 --> 00:00:34,489
Brahmācarya means completely
cessation from sex life.
7
00:00:34,490 --> 00:00:38,785
This is brahmācarya.
8
00:00:38,786 --> 00:00:42,067
Tapasya begins: Austerity.
9
00:00:42,068 --> 00:00:50,333
This is the greatest
austerity: To cease sex.
10
00:00:50,334 --> 00:01:05,052
Tapasa brahmācarya.
11
00:01:05,053 --> 00:01:08,604
Our Vedic civilization:
12
00:01:08,605 --> 00:01:18,612
The boys are trained how to become
brahmacārī from the very beginning of life.
13
00:01:18,613 --> 00:01:25,096
INDIAN: [Hindi]
- Ah. [break]
14
00:01:25,097 --> 00:01:29,255
…putrakā yena śuddhyet
sattva [SB 5.5.1].
15
00:01:29,256 --> 00:01:38,285
Our existentional position
should be purified.
16
00:01:38,286 --> 00:01:43,569
How? Tapo, by tapasya.
17
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:49,985
tapo divyaṁ putrakā yena śuddhyet sattva
[SB 5.5.1]
18
00:01:49,986 --> 00:01:52,373
“Oh; we are enjoying life.
19
00:01:52,374 --> 00:01:59,009
Why we should undergo tapasya?”
20
00:01:59,010 --> 00:02:04,894
And you are enjoying, but you are
not enjoying; you are suffering.
21
00:02:04,895 --> 00:02:10,164
Even if you think you are enjoying,
there are so many sufferings.
22
00:02:10,165 --> 00:02:21,070
That—the foolish people—
they do not know.
23
00:02:21,071 --> 00:02:24,631
Just like a healthy man,
he thinks, “I am enjoying.”
24
00:02:24,632 --> 00:02:31,438
But he does not see that even he is
now healthy, he will be an old man,
25
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:46,272
he’ll be attacked with disease, he will
die, and still he thinks, “I am healthy.”
26
00:02:46,273 --> 00:02:50,187
janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam
[Bg. 13.9]
27
00:02:50,188 --> 00:02:54,091
Therefore the intelligent
man will see that
28
00:02:54,092 --> 00:02:58,626
“Where is my enjoyment
if I am going to die?
29
00:02:58,627 --> 00:03:01,467
[I] don’t want to die,
but I am going to die.”
30
00:03:01,468 --> 00:03:04,125
That is sure; as sure as anything.
31
00:03:04,126 --> 00:03:09,119
And still the rascal will
think that “I am happy.”
32
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,478
He’ll become old man.
33
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:14,585
He’ll be attacked with disease.
34
00:03:14,586 --> 00:03:17,714
And still he is thinking
that he is happy.
35
00:03:17,715 --> 00:03:25,223
Apart from this, there are so many other
sufferings, but he thinks that he is happy.
36
00:03:25,224 --> 00:03:37,088
And that happiness is
centered around sex; that’s all.
37
00:03:37,089 --> 00:03:41,999
yan maithunadi-gṛhamedhi-sukhaṁ hi tuccham
[SB 7.9.45]
38
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:54,478
Their only happiness is sex.
39
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:57,341
Therefore, in the
Western countries,
40
00:03:57,342 --> 00:04:02,546
they are simply trying to
increase the sex enjoyment.
41
00:04:02,547 --> 00:04:10,064
That’s all.
42
00:04:10,065 --> 00:04:12,294
- Is it not?
DEVOTEES: Yes.
43
00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:20,161
The whole civilization is based
on how to enjoy sex very nicely.
44
00:04:20,162 --> 00:04:27,601
This is their basic
principle of civilization.
45
00:04:27,602 --> 00:04:29,822
BRAHMĀNANDA: Always
on the best-seller books…
46
00:04:29,823 --> 00:04:30,818
- On the
- Huh?
47
00:04:30,819 --> 00:04:33,153
- best-seller charts of the books
- Yes.
48
00:04:33,154 --> 00:04:41,170
- there is always some book about how to enjoy sex.
- Just see.
49
00:04:41,171 --> 00:04:46,757
There are books here
also: Kāma-śāstra.
50
00:04:46,758 --> 00:04:54,991
So, sex enjoyment also you
cannot enjoy unlimitedly.
51
00:04:54,992 --> 00:04:59,105
Then you will become impotent.
52
00:04:59,106 --> 00:05:08,244
Then you will have to call your wife as
“mother,” as some “saintly” person did.
53
00:05:08,245 --> 00:05:11,901
He was indulging in
sex in his young age,
54
00:05:11,902 --> 00:05:17,557
and when he was married
he saw himself impotent,
55
00:05:17,558 --> 00:05:23,788
and therefore he invented some
way that “I have realized [Brahman].
56
00:05:23,789 --> 00:05:27,228
I can call my wife also ‘mother.’”
57
00:05:27,229 --> 00:05:32,517
And he became famous:
“Oh, he is so advanced.
58
00:05:32,518 --> 00:05:34,730
He has learned how to…”
59
00:05:34,731 --> 00:05:36,638
But in the history
we will not find this.
60
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:46,332
Even Vyāsadeva had his wife, but
he never said his wife, “mother.”
61
00:05:46,333 --> 00:05:50,482
Actually you’re supposed to
see other women as mother.
62
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:52,393
- Yes.
- But not one’s own wife.
63
00:05:52,394 --> 00:05:53,768
No.
64
00:05:53,769 --> 00:05:55,415
Para-dāreṣu.
65
00:05:55,416 --> 00:05:56,883
Mātravat para-dareṣu.
66
00:05:56,884 --> 00:06:00,894
That is the injunction of
the śās… Other’s wife.
67
00:06:00,895 --> 00:06:05,133
Not that, “Oh, my wife
is also my mother.”
68
00:06:05,134 --> 00:06:05,781
Just see.
69
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:15,147
This lunacy is going on, and this lunatic
man is taken as incarnation of God.
70
00:06:15,148 --> 00:06:37,774
This is [going on].
71
00:06:37,775 --> 00:06:55,823
This homosex propaganda is
another side of impotency.
72
00:06:55,824 --> 00:06:57,155
So that is natural.
73
00:06:57,156 --> 00:07:11,070
If you enjoy too much, then
you become impotent.
74
00:07:11,071 --> 00:07:17,334
They are trying to make that more and
more accepted in America, homosex.
75
00:07:17,335 --> 00:07:19,355
Yes; the churches accept.
76
00:07:19,356 --> 00:07:26,979
It is already law.
77
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:32,637
The whole world is on
the verge of ruination.
78
00:07:32,638 --> 00:07:39,548
Kali-yuga.
79
00:07:39,549 --> 00:07:41,084
So many problems.
80
00:07:41,085 --> 00:07:43,968
Still it is not on the
verge of ruination?
81
00:07:43,969 --> 00:07:45,146
It’s on the verge.
82
00:07:45,147 --> 00:07:47,018
That’s all right.
83
00:07:47,019 --> 00:07:50,548
- But still there is…
- Why you are a…
84
00:07:50,549 --> 00:07:56,530
very much disturbed
with so many problems?
85
00:07:56,531 --> 00:07:59,357
DHANAÑJAYA: They always take the brighter side.
- Hmm?
86
00:07:59,358 --> 00:08:02,718
They always take the brighter side.
87
00:08:02,719 --> 00:08:06,443
No; they are discussing,
“There will be no more petrol.
88
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:09,369
There will be no more
this, no more that.”
89
00:08:09,370 --> 00:08:12,146
So they are thinking, “Well,
then we’ll get the sun power.
90
00:08:12,147 --> 00:08:15,030
Then we’ll get this
and we’ll get that.”
91
00:08:15,031 --> 00:08:18,287
Well, that is the problem.
92
00:08:18,288 --> 00:08:22,287
It is not that, “Theoretically
here is a problem.
93
00:08:22,288 --> 00:08:26,310
I’ll solve it like this; I’ll…” That
is not solution of problem.
94
00:08:26,311 --> 00:08:29,146
Problem is there.
95
00:08:29,147 --> 00:08:42,216
When you actually make
solution, then you’ll…
96
00:08:42,217 --> 00:08:42,218
