Like cats, dogs, birds, beasts, we have satisfied our senses in so many life. Why not regulate in one life and go back to home, back to Godhead? If you cannot do this simple thing, austerity—it is not difficult—then how you can expect to go back to home, back to Godhead? So one should always think that this sense gratification business, we have done in so many lives, 8,400,000 species of life. Āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithunaṁ ca (Hitopadeśa). Eating, sleeping, mating and fearing, this is in every life. There is no exception. So in this life, human life, if you are actually serious, restrict. Then life is successful.
