Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 (Path of Perfection Chp 5): As stated before, this determination can be attained only by one who does not indulge in sex. Celibacy makes one's determination strong; therefore, from the very beginning Krsna states that the yogi does not engage in sex. If one indulges in sex, one's determination will be flickering. Therefore sex life should be controlled according to the rules and regulations governing the grhastha-asrama, or sex should be given up altogether. Actually, it should be given up altogether, but if this is not possible, it should be controlled. Then determination will come because, after all, determination is a bodily affair. Determination means continuing to practice Krsna consciousness with patience and perseverance. If one does not immediately attain the desired results, one should not think, "Oh, what is this Krsna consciousness? I will give it up." No, we must have determination and faith in Krsna's words.
