Do Not Be Attached...

Vaiṣṇavas and myself and Narottama Ṭhākura are not against the marriage system. If married, no harm. But when you have been initiated, then you should not be so much attached to worldly things. One day you will have to give it up, when you will be old, or when you will die. So, you can be in family life, no harm. But not too much attached, and then do not divorce, and again take new, new, new husbands and wives. Not like this. Be very strong—trying to make Kṛṣṇa your beloved. None is more beautiful or merciful or powerful than Kṛṣṇa. If you will tell Kṛṣṇa, “O my beloved,” Kṛṣṇa will come and help you and save you.
