1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

The so-called svāmīs, they are coming for this so-called yoga practice and. . ., but they are themself victim of sex. This is going on. Actually, it is a bluff—they have become svāmī and teaching some yoga system—because they do not know that one has to stop this first of all. Brahmacaryena.

Prabhupāda: What is that pravṛtti and nivṛtti?

Paramahaṁsa: He says that in the Īśopaniṣad it says that you should learn the process of self-realization side by side with the process of nescience.

Prabhupāda: Nescience?

Paramahaṁsa: Nescience.

Prabhupāda: Nescience, yes. That is pravṛtti and nivṛtti. Pravṛtti means sense enjoyment, and nivṛtti means self-negation. So when we say that "You shall not have illicit sex," and their inclination is illicit sex, so therefore it is revolutionary. They are materialistic persons. They want sex enjoyment to the best capacity—homosex, this sex, that sex, naked dance—all sexually inclined, pravṛtti. And we say, "Stop this," nivṛtti. They do not like it, because āsura. Pravṛtti jagat. They do not know this is essential. They do not know it. This is essential. Tapasā brahmacaryena (SB 6.1.13). Tapasya means brahmacarya. The so-called svāmīs, they are coming for this so-called yoga practice and. . ., but they are themself victim of sex. This is going on. Actually, it is a bluff—they have become svāmī and teaching some yoga system—because they do not know that one has to stop this first of all. Brahmacaryena.

So this bluffing is going on all over the world, and we are speaking just against them. Murkhayopadeśo hi prakopāya na śāntaye (Cāṇakya Paṇḍita). If you give instruction to the rascals, he will simply be angry. He will not take advantage of it. This is our position.
