Swāmi replied: The preaching of spiritual knowledge has nothing to do with the physical relationship or marriage. There are so many teaching institutions catering excellent knowledge to various levels of students. Is there a rule that the teacher in every institution shall be bachelor without marriage? Sex is a biological need like hunger, thirst and sleep. Will you put a rule that the spiritual preacher shall not eat food, shall not drink water and shall not sleep? Will such rules improve the efficiency of preaching?
God Kṛṣṇa is considered to be the topmost spiritual preacher and He married 16,108 girls and generated 10 sons and 1 daughter through each wife! Not only this, when sage Nārada asked God Brahmā to give the name of a true bachelor (celibate), God Brahmā gave only one name and do you know what is that name? The name is KṚṢṆA!
When you are going to a lecturer to learn Chemistry from him, your concern must be about the excellency of his teaching the lessons of Chemistry.
Why should you worry about his personal matters? A spiritual preacher at the level of Sadguru can’t be understood by you because He is God, who came down as spiritual preacher. Sometimes, He tests your faith in Him through abnormal behaviour. Shirdi Sai Bāba smokes and neither you should smoke nor you should criticize Him.

Why was Jesus not allowed to have relations with a woman in a physical way or did not marry?
