Therefore, O Vrndavana, will you not protect such a fallen person as me?" (8.51) "O Hari, objects like woman repeatedly distract my mind. The illusory energy of the Lord climbs on my head and dances again and again. Still I have long cherished desire to live in Vrndavana. I do not know what arrangement Sri Radha will make out of comapassion for me." (8.52) "Oh intelligent people, do not pay attention to this body which gives temporary pleasure. Do not become absorbed in the sinful activities of enjoying the most pleasing intimate association with women. Withdraw your sense of hearing from its objects, and quickly fix your mind on the abode at Sri Radha`s lotus feet(Vrndavana)" (11.86) "O brothers, what is death? To desire to enjoy a woman`s body, which is nothing but a bag of stool and urine, is called death. What is disease? Envy and illusion, which internally and externally agitate a person, is called disease. What is heaven? The association of devotees filled with love for Nanda Maharaja`s son is called heaven. What is the most confidental purport of all Upanisads? Sri Vrndavana and its beloved divine young couple are the most confidental purport of all Upanisads."
