Married life is a sort of license

[Guest guest]

You have written to say that your wife and you have a problem on which you

require my help. The whole world, beginning with the highest planet to the

lowest in this material world is facing this problem. Combination of husband

and wife is a necessary satisfaction of the sex urge. The foolish people see

everyday this problematic situation, still they are not intelligent enough

to avoid it. Training of brahmacari life is especially meant for this

purpose, and a student is advised not to indulge in sex life just to avoid

these problems. It is very difficult to satisfy a woman by a person who has

no good income, neither very good health. The woman as a class wants

sufficient means to eat, and decorate and at the same time full satisfaction

of sex. Any husband who cannot satisfy his wife by these three items, namely

sufficient food, sufficient dress and ornament, and sufficient satisfaction

of sex, must meet all these problems. And as soon as one becomes engaged in

solving these problems it is very difficult to make any progress in Krishna

Consciousness. If one is serious to make any success in the matter of

Krishna Consciousness, one should avoid the association of woman as far as

possible. Married life is a sort of license to the incapable man who cannot

avoid sex life. On this statement, you can understand your real position.
