Purport

Purport

The strong man’s strength should be applied to protect the weak, not for personal aggression. Similarly, sex life, according to religious principles (dharma), should be for the propagation of children, not otherwise. The responsibility of parents is then to make their offspring Kṛṣṇa conscious.

SMISAO: Snažan čovjek treba svoju snagu iskoristiti za zaštitu slabih, a ne za nasilje. Slično tome, spolne odnose, u skladu s religijskim načelima (dharmom), trebamo održavati samo da bismo začeli djecu. Nakon toga, roditelji trebaju odgojiti svoga potomka u svjesnosti Kṛṣṇe. To je njihova odgovornost.
