Translation

Traducción

Sometimes, as if blinded by the dust of a whirlwind, the conditioned soul sees the beauty of the opposite sex, which is called pramadā. Being thus bewildered, he is raised upon the lap of a woman, and at that time his good senses are overcome by the force of passion. He thus becomes almost blind with lusty desire and disobeys the rules and regulations governing sex life. He does not know that his disobedience is witnessed by different demigods, and he enjoys illicit sex in the dead of night, not seeing the future punishment awaiting him.

A veces, como si le cegase el polvo de un torbellino, el alma condicionada contempla la belleza del sexo opuesto, que recibe el nombre de pramadā. Así confundido, acaba entre los brazos de una mujer, y sus sentidos se ven entonces dominados por la fuerza de la pasión. Casi cegado por los deseos lujuriosos, desobedece las reglas y regulaciones que rigen la vida sexual. No sabe que hay muchos semidioses presenciando su desobediencia, y disfruta de la vida sexual en la oscuridad de la noche, sin ver el castigo que el futuro le depara.

Significado

In Bhagavad-gītā (7.11) it is said: dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo ’smi bharatarṣabha. Sex is allowed only for the begetting of children, not for enjoyment. One can indulge in sex to beget a good child for the benefit of the family, society and world. Otherwise, sex is against the rules and regulations of religious life. A materialistic person does not believe that everything is managed in nature, and he does not know that if one does something wrong, he is witnessed by different demigods. A person enjoys illicit sex, and due to his blind, lusty desire, he thinks that no one can see him, but this illicit sex is thoroughly observed by the agents of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore the person is punished in so many ways. Presently in Kali-yuga there are many pregnancies due to illicit sex, and sometimes abortions ensue. These sinful activities are witnessed by the agents of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and a man and woman who create such a situation are punished in the future by the stringent laws of material nature (daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā). Illicit sex is never excused, and those who indulge in it are punished life after life. As confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (16.20):

En el Bhagavad-gītā (7.11), se dice: dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo ’smi bharatarṣabha. Las relaciones sexuales solo se permiten cuando su finalidad es la procreación, y no el disfrute. Cuando lo que se busca es concebir un buen hijo para beneficio de la familia, la sociedad y el mundo, la relación sexual está permitida. De lo contrario, la vida sexual va contra las reglas y regulaciones de la vida religiosa. El materialista no cree que todo lo que existe en la naturaleza esté siendo supervisado, ni sabe que hay semidioses que son testigos de las malas acciones que comete. Disfruta de relaciones sexuales ilícitas, y, cegado por deseos lujuriosos, cree que nadie puede verle; sin embargo, los agentes de la Suprema Personalidad de Dios observan con todo detalle todos sus actos sexuales ilícitos. Como consecuencia, recibe diversos castigos. En la actualidad, en Kali-yuga, la vida sexual ilícita es la causa de muchos embarazos no deseados, y a veces se cometen abortos. Los agentes de la Suprema Personalidad de Dios son testigos de esas actividades pecaminosas, de manera que en el futuro el hombre y la mujer que crearon esa situación tendrán que sufrir el castigo de las estrictas leyes de la naturaleza material(daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā). Las relaciones sexuales ilícitas nunca se perdonan; quienes se entregan a ellas son castigados vida tras vida. Como se confirma en el Bhagavad-gītā (16.20):

āsurīṁ yonim āpannā
mūḍhā janmani janmani
mām aprāpyaiva kaunteya
tato yānty adhamāṁ gatim

“Attaining repeated birth among the species of demoniac life, such persons can never approach Me. Gradually they sink down to the most abominable type of existence.”

«Naciendo repetidamente en las especies de vida demoníaca, ¡oh, hijo de Kuntī!, esas personas nunca pueden acercarse a Mí. Poco a poco se van hundiendo en las formas de existencia más abominables».

The Supreme Personality of Godhead does not allow anyone to act against the stringent laws of material nature; therefore illicit sex is punished life after life. Illicit sex creates pregnancies, and these unwanted pregnancies lead to abortion. Those involved become implicated in these sins, so much so that they are punished in the same way the next life. Thus in the next life they also enter the womb of a mother and are killed in the same way. All these things can be avoided by remaining on the transcendental platform of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In this way one does not commit sinful activity. Illicit sex is the most prominent sin due to lusty desire. When one associates with the mode of passion, he is implicated in suffering life after life.
