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 Bharatas [Arjuna].

 

 
 
PURPORT
The strong man's strength should be applied to protect the weak, not for personal aggression.

The responsibility of parents is then to make their offspring Krsna conscious.
