Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

Get yourself married, live like a gentleman, take responsibility, then gradually you'll be able to give up this sex desire. Unless we give up this sex desire, completely unagitated, there is no possibility of stopping this repetition of material birth—birth, death, old age and disease. That is not possible. Therefore Prahlāda Mahārāja advises, daityeṣu saṅgaṁ viṣayātmakeṣu (SB 7.6.17-18): "Don't associate with . . ." Asat-saṅga, the same thing, as Caitanya Mahāprabhu . . . asat-saṅga-tyāga ei vaiṣṇava ācāra (CC Madhya 22.87). This is Vaiṣṇava's business. Don't take any opportunity of asat, those who are materially attached. It is very difficult association. Then it is possible, upeta nārāyaṇam ādi-devaṁ sa mukta-saṅgair iṣito 'pavargaḥ (SB 7.6.17-18). Therefore association is very . . . sajjati siddhāśaye . Those who are engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, devotional service, make your association with them.

We are therefore making different centers to give everyone the opportunity to have the association of devotee. As far as possible, we are giving shelter, we are giving prasādam, we are giving instruction, we are giving opportunity to worship Kṛṣṇa. Why? Because people may take the advantage of the association, Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇam ādi-devam (SB 7.6.17-18), they can associate with Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa and anything executed in the devotional service of Nārāyaṇa—Nārāyaṇa, Kṛṣṇa, Viṣṇu, the same category . . . nārāyaṇa paro 'vyaktyāt (Śaṅkarācārya’s Gītā Bhāṣya). Nārāyaṇa means who is, whose situation is transcendental, Nārāyaṇa. So as soon as you come in contact with Nārāyaṇa, Lakṣmī is there, goddess of fortune is there. We are not worshiping the daridra-nārāyaṇa manufacture, no, as they have manufactured the word. No. We have nothing to do with the so-called . . . it is rubbish. Nārāyaṇa cannot be daridra. Daridra means "poor." This is all rubbish things. They manufacture such words, atheist class of men, but we hate to see them even. Nārāyaṇa is always opulent. Ṣaḍ-aiśvarya-pūrno bhagavān (CC Adi 1.3), always. How Nārāyaṇa can be daridra, poor? That is not possible.
