Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Kathaṁ na jñeyam asmābhiḥ pāpād asmān nivartitum (BG 1.38): "They may indulge in these sinful activities. How we can indulge? What people will say?" Kula-kṣaya-kṛtaṁ doṣaṁ prapaśyadbhir janārdana: "He Janārdana, You are maintainer of the people. So if the people become sinful, so it is very difficult to maintain them." These things are being considered. Kula-kṣaya. So we cannot destroy family. But on one condition we can become free from all this obligation. What is that? Gataḥ śarabyaṁ parihṛtya kartum (SB 11.5.41). Śaraṇyam. Mukunda-caraṇam: one who has dedicated his life simply to serve Mukunda, Kṛṣṇa, Mukunda. Muk means mukti, liberation. And ānanda. Kṛṣṇa gives liberation. His name is Govinda, Mukunda. Hundreds and thousands of names Kṛṣṇa has got. So if one has taken . . . fully surrendering unto the lotus feet of Mukunda, he has no more any obligation, either these pitṛ, devarṣi, deva, devatā, demigod, ṛṣi, bhūta. He is immune, because he is transcendental.

He is gṛhastha. But if a sannyāsī talks with woman very intimately, oh, immediately people will take note of it. Sannyāsīra alpa-chidre bahu kari' mane. That is the practice. He should be very cautious. So a devotee, a sannyāsī, they have got very, very great responsibility. People will very easily criticize them. So Arjuna is considering all these point.
