kāma-rāga-vivarjitam
dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu
kāmo ’smi bharatarṣabha

attachment; vivarjitam — devoid of; dharma-aviruddhaḥ — not against religious principles; bhūteṣu — in all
beings; kāmaḥ — sex life; asmi — I am; bharata-ṛṣabha — 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

As soon as yoga is introduced, consciousness is involved. Yoga is about consciousness which links everything and everyone to God.

A purpose is involved as soon as a desired result is wanted. There is purpose of consciousness as soon as the goal of human life is realized and set forward.

Whether we like it or not, spiritual life or yoga requires discipline or framing so to speak. That framing is based on Scriptural teachings.

Everybody is already framed by life.
Everybody has their own beat.
But one can do better
provided one allows oneself to hear
from someone who knows better
in the matter of self-realization.

Hearing from the right source strenghtens one’s consciousness, so much so that one becomes conscious of what is at stake in the future.
What does one really want?

One who cannot deliver his dependents from the path of repeated birth and death should never become a spiritual master, a father, a husband, a mother or a worshipable demigod. (ŚB 5.5.18)

The highest perfection of human life, achieved either by complete knowledge of matter and spirit, by practice of mystic powers, or by perfect discharge of occupational duty, is to remember the
Personality of Godhead at the end of life. (ŚB 2.1.6)

Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, 7.11
by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
Founder-Ācārya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness
It is not good enough
to simply study Scriptures
on one’s own
Additionally one should look forward to
the association of saintly persons and
accept a spiritual master capable of
bringing one back home, back to Godhead.
To revive one’s original,
rightful God consciousness,
or Krishna consciousness
A fully responsible man should always be conscious of the prime duty of the present human form of life. The activities to meet the immediate necessities of material life are
not everything. One should always be alert in his duty for attainment of the best situation in the next life. Human life is meant for preparing ourselves for that prime duty.
(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.1.13)
