Text 27] Bhagavatam is the Answer 581

eralion of the living being is necessary for upkeep of the purpose of
ereation. The sex pleasure is an impetus for such action, and as such one
can even serve the Lord in the act of such sex pleasure. The service is
counted when the children born out of such sex pleasure are properly
trained in God consciousness. The whole idea of material creation is to
revive the dormant God consciousness of the living entity. In other forms
of life, besides the human form, the sex pleasure is prominent only with-
out any motive of service for the mission of the Lord. But in the human
form of life the conditioned soul can render service to the Lord by creating
progeny suitable for the attainment of salvation. One can beget hundreds
of children and enjoy the celestial pleasure of sexual intercourse provided
he is able to train up the children in God consciousness. Otherwise be-
getting children is on the level of the swine. Rather, the swine is more
expert that the human being because the swine can beget a dozen piglets
at a lime, whereas the human being can give birth to one only at a time.
So one should always remember that the genitals, sex pleasure, the woman,
and the offspring are all related in the service of the Lord, and one who
forgets this relationship in the service of the Supreme Lord becomes
subjected to the threefold miseries of material existence by the laws of
nature. Perception of sex pleasure is there even in the body of the dog,
but there is no sense of God consciousness. The human form of life is
distinct from that of the dog by the perception of God consciousness.
