### Bg 7.11

> बलं बलवतां चाहं कामरागविवर्जितम् ।\
> धर्माविरुद्धो भूतेषु कामोऽस्मि भरतर्षभ ॥११॥

> balaṁ balavatāṁ cāhaṁ\
> kāma-rāga-vivarjitam\
> dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu\
> kāmo 'smi bharatarṣabha

*balam*—strength; *balavatām*—of the strong; *ca*—and; *aham*—I am; *kāma*—passion; *rāga*—attachment; *vivarjitam*—devoid of; *dharma-aviruddha*—not against the religious principles; *bhūteṣu*—in all beings; *kāmaḥ*—sex-life; *asmi*—I am; *bharatarṣabha*—O lord of the Bhāratas.

**I am the strength of the strong, devoid of passion and desire. I am sex life which is not contrary to religious principles, O Lord of the Bhāratas [Arjuna].**

The strong man's strength should be applied to protect the weak, not for personal aggression. Similarly, sex life, according to religious principles (*dharma*), should be for the propagation of children, not otherwise. The responsibility of parents is then to make their offspring Kṛṣṇa conscious.
