(25) To follow him in his
vows, to be regular and favorably disposed to her husband as well as to
his friends and relatives and to be willing are the characteristics one
finds in a woman of divine respect for her husband [see too B.G. 1: 40].
Chapter 12:
The Four Asrâmas and How to Leave the Body
(11) It is for a
householder as necessary as for a renunciate to follow all the
directions of the guru,
be it that the householder can have sex for a certain period of time
[see also B.G. 7.11].
Chapter 13:
The Behavior of a Saintly Person
(26) And in that life
one has the union of man and woman for the sake of pleasure. But
seeing, always engaged in fruitive activities, how one arrives at the
opposite [of that pleasure], I have now ceased in order to escape from
that misery. (27) Happiness is the natural state of the living entity,
and thus, definitely ceasing with all out here in having seen how the
worldly demands are definitively linked to sense gratification, I have,
contemplating these matters, entered silence.
Chapter 14:
The Supreme of the Householders Life
(24) It is from these
auspicious times [of being regular to natural occurrences] that the
fate of human beings is improved; on those days one should perform all
kinds of ceremonies and thus in all seasons for a human being have
auspiciousness, success and longevity [see
the full calendar of order for setting days to natural events].
Chapter 15:
Nârada's Instructions on Sharing,
Irreligion, Yoga and Advaita
(26) The guru who is
the light on the path should directly be considered the Supreme Lord;
he who considers him and all that belongs to the Veda as mortal and
timebound, is like an elephant taking a dustbath.
(55) On
this path towards God, as one calls it, repeatedly been born again [see
also B.G.
8: 16], the one eager in self-realization heading for the
peace indeed, does not return, established as he is in the true self.
