Questioner : Dada, you stress brahmacharya and show
abhorrence towards abrahmacharya. But by encouraging this

It is animalistic behaviour. If it were a natural process, there
would not be a need for brahmacharya. These poor animals
practice brahmacharya. They have sex only for fifteen-twenty
days in certain seasons and then they do not.
