krsna Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Conversation on March 9, 1976. Madhudvisa: In the eighteenth chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, in one of your purports, you say that a sannyasi should never discourage a young man from getting married. But on the other hand, we understand that a sannyasi should encourage young men to remain brahmacari. So it seems to me like there's some kind of contradiction. Prabhupada: According to time and circumstance. Just like Krsna says, nityatam kuru karma tvam: "Always be engaged in your prescribed work." (Bg, 3.8) And at last he says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam varja. (Bg. 18.66) So now you adjust. That is not a contradiction. It is just suitable to the time and circumstance. Madhudvisa: But is there some conclusion? Prabhupada: The real aim is that you have to become the eternal servant of Krsna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
