Room Conversation

November 25, 1975, Delhi
Prabhupada: ...this society. Only the important men, they can live as grhastha. Not that "Now I am in love with this girl and get me married and yajna and then sleep." These things should be stopped. That, that what is his name, the rascal's name, that, whom you have driven away?
Devotee (1): Srnghadi(?).
Prabhupada: Srnghadi?
Devotee (1): Srinati.
Prabhupada: Srinati.(?) From his face it appears that he's woman hunter. Did he talk with you?
Devotee (1): Yes.
Prabhupada: So in every center they must rise early in the morning. They must follow the regulative principles. They must attend class. Otherwise let them go out. We don't want. And if anyone wants to marry, first of all he must show that he has some earning capacity. Not that "Because there are so many girls, and I marry one to satisfy my senses..." I thought that boy was nice, and I heard all these stories. That is also another defect, that we have got young boys and young girls open for lovemaking. And brahmacari means strictly prohibited to see the face of woman. But we cannot stop it. That is also another defect. Fire is good and butter is good, but when they come together everything become bad. Is it not? Fire is good, just like heat. And butter is good, healthy. But when they come together the butter melts and the fire extinguished. This is maya's arrangement. Pumsa striya mithuni-bhavam etam. This whole world is going on by the sex attraction, and when they come together both of them become spoiled. Therefore it has to be dealt with very, very carefully, so many rules, regulation. [break] ...used, Nitai?
Nitai: Whenever there is necessity.
Prabhupada: Compulsory.
Nitai: Compulsory. When there's rule, vidhi.
Prabhupada: Therefore it is said, vrajet, "must." Tasmad gurum prapadyeta [SB 11.3.21]. At least let us inform the whole world that the process of civilization, education, everything rotten. That we have to say. (end)
