Pita : Prabhupada told us that he wanted us all to be brahmacharis, to never marry. He said, “If you all remain brahmachari, you’ll have a 90% chance of going back home, back to Godhead. As soon as you marry, there’s only a 50% chance. As soon as you marry, you must have an apartment and then you must put so many things inside. If you are a brahmachari, you can sleep under a tree.“
