Q63. Why no Illicit sex?
Sex outside marriage is called illicit sex. The governments around the world are very foolish by thinking that by promoting condoms they will stop AIDS. The only way to stop AIDS is for humans to stop behaving like the dogs on the street. In this age, relationships and marriages are mostly based on sex impulses alone. This can be proven by the fact that most marriages end in a divorce. It is the children who suffer the most, all due to the lusty parents. Marriages often end due to one or both the partners wanting to move onto another mate. Just like the dogs on the street. Sexual lust only leads to misery in the long term and binds one to miserable material life for many lifetimes. The human body is nothing but a bag full of stool and all kinds of nasty fluids. Why lust for another bag? One should lust for a spiritual body, which is completely beautiful, and eternal. This can be achieved by giving up all attachments to the material body and surrendering unto Lord Krishna. “That eternal goal is reached by the wise who are free from pride, delusion, and bad association, who have conquered the evil of attachment, who constantly dwell in the Supreme Being with all lust completely stilled, and who are free from dualities of pleasure and pain.” (Lord Krishna, BhagavadGita 15.5) Those who give up pride, the association of people who are engaged in sinful activities and the spiritually ignorant, who are done with lust, who remain steady in all situations, and who are surrendered unto Lord Krishna and engage in His service. Will attain the abode of Lord Krishna, the spiritual abode, at the end of this short life. In the kingdom of Lord Krishna, there is no old age, no disease, no death, no misery of any kind, and everyone lives in the same eternal body that is completely beautiful.
