Abrhad-vratas can enter into the kingdom of God in this very life

[Guest guest]

The householders and persons who have deliberately broken the vow of celibacy

cannot enter into the kingdom of deathlessness. The pious householders or the

fallen yogis or the fallen transcendentalists can be promoted to the higher

planets within the material world (one fourth of the energy of the Lord), but

they will fail to enter into the kingdom of deathlessness.

Abrhad-vratas are those who have broken the vow of celibacy. The vanaprasthas,

or those retired from family life, and the sannyasis, or renounced persons,

cannot break the vow of celibacy if they want success in the process. The

brahmacaris, vanaprasthas and sannyasis do not intend to take rebirth (apraja),

nor are they meant for secretly indulging in sex life. Such a falldown by the

spiritualist may be compensated by another chance for human life in good

families of learned brahmanas or of rich merchants for another term of

elevation, but the best thing is to attain the highest perfection of

deathlessness as soon as the human form of life is attained; otherwise the

whole policy of human life will prove to be a total failure. Lord Caitanya was

very strict in advising His followers in this matter of celibacy. For a

transcendentalist, therefore, who at all wants to be promoted to the kingdom

beyond material miseries, it is worse than suicide to deliberately indulge in

sex life, especially in the renounced order of life. Sex life in the renounced

order of life is the most perverted form of religious life, and such a

misguided person can only be saved if, by chance, he meets a pure devotee.
