Guest guest Posted November 29, 2000 Report Share Posted November 29, 2000 A brahmacari who wants to remain as such has to understand that there will always be women in this world, that he cannot run away from the world, and that he must therefore adjust his consciousness to be absorbed in Krsna. Brahme carati iti brahmacarya. Avoidance of women can be practiced to a certain extent, but the real avoidance is to not let the mind indulge in thoughts of sense enjoyment. To one who is actually enjoying brahma-sukha (spiritual happiness), the question, "Should I get married or not?" will hardly enter his head, and if it does, he immediately rejects it without dwelling on it or being disturbed by it. >From BIKC by HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
