“The vow of  brahmacarya  is meant to help one completely abstain from sex indulgence in work, words and mind—at all times, under all circumstances, and in all places.” No one can perform correct  yoga  practice through sex indulgence.  Brahmacarya  is taught, therefore, from childhood when one has no knowledge of sex life. Children at the age of five are sent to the  guru-kula , or the place of the spiritual master, and the master trains the young boys in the strict discipline of becoming  brahmacārīs . Without such practice, no one can make advancement in any  yoga , whether it be  dhyāna ,  jñāna  or  bhakti . One who, however, follows the rules and regulations of married life, having sexual relationship only with his wife (and that also under regulation), is also called  brahmacārī . Such a restrained householder  brahmacārī  may be accepted in the  bhakti  school, but the  jñāna  and  dhyāna  schools do not admit even householder  brahmacārīs . They require complete abstinence without compromise. In the  bhakti  school, a householder  brahmacārī  is allowed controlled sex life because the cult of  bhakti-yoga  is so powerful that one automatically loses sexual attraction, being engaged in the superior service of the Lord. In the  Bhagavad-gītā  it is said:
viṣayā vinivartante nirāhārasya dehinaḥ rasa-varjaṁ raso 'py asya paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate
Whereas others are forced to restrain themselves from sense gratification, a devotee of the Lord automatically refrains because of superior taste. Other than the devotee, no one has any information of that superior taste.
Vigatabhīḥ.  One cannot be fearless unless one is fully in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A conditioned soul is fearful due to his perverted memory, his forgetfulness of his eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa. The  Bhāgavatam  says,  bhayam dvitīyābhiniveśataḥ syād īśād apetasya viparyayo 'smṛtiḥ:  Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the only basis for fearlessness. Therefore, perfect practice is possible for a person who is Kṛṣṇa conscious. And since the ultimate goal of  yoga  practice is to see the Lord within, a Kṛṣṇa conscious person is already the best of all  yogīs . The principles of the  yoga  system mentioned herein are different from those of the popular so-called  yoga  societies.
