Prabhupāda: Viṣaya... [Transl. Viṣaya means] This sense gratification, that is available everywhere. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Śāstrījī: [chanting Hindi prayers.] [jinse kāṭe sava māya ke phāṭde [break] aise guru-pada-kamalaṁ vande. aise guru-pada-kamalaṁ vande. hāṭe sadā abhimāna mera sumati de bhakton ko bhagavān prabhuki kṛpā vinu tarasa rahā hun antarhṛdayame tarasa rahā hun bārāṁbāra praṇāma, sumati de bhakton ko bhagavān bārāṁbāra pranāma, sumati de bhakto ko bhagavān: I offer my respectful obeisances at the lotus feet of the spiritual master by whose mercy the entanglement of Māyā is cut into pieces. Let my pride be vanquished always. O Lord, kindly bestow good intelligence to the devotees. Without the Lord's mercy my heart is longing and suffering. Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda.] [break] Prabhupāda: ...sex. Āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithuna [Hitopadeśa 25(1)].

This is life: sex and bhaya, fearfulness, and then eating and sleeping—four things. They must eat, they must sleep, and the sex, and as soon as some men are coming, flying. This is there in the human society. Where is the distinction? Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: No distinction. Prabhupāda: They are also together, the same—sex. Āhāra-nidrā-bhaya-maithuna [Hitopadeśa 25(2)].

And they are writing books, big, big book, "Sex Psychology," Freud. This rascals' philosophy. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: What's-his-name is doing that too. That bogus guru in Bombay, Rajneesh.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhagavan Rajneesh. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhagavan Rajneesh. He is also writing sex psychology books.

Prabhupāda: That's all. And this is going on as philosophy. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Bhagavan Rajneesh. Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: He's been thrown out of Bombay now.

Prabhupāda: So many rascals are there. Is there any philosophy which is existent in the lower animals? What is philosophy there? And they are writing big, big philosophy—Freud's philosophy and others.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You were describing that Freud's business is that he had sex life with his mother.
