Devotee 1: For instance, previously many people took sannyāsa mainly because they were frustrated with family life. They weren’t necessarily willing to serve Krishna.
Srila Gour Govinda Swami: That is all cheating. That is not sannyāsa.
Devotee 1: Can they make any advancement in that āśrama?
Srila Gour Govinda Swami: What has Prabhupada said? If you are not completely free from sex desire, don’t take sannyāsa. What is this? It is only a farce.
