Srila Prabhupada emphatically states "he is no longer attracted by material feminine beauty". He is NO LONGER attracted by material beauty. So if he is attracted by such beauty then it simply means he is not attracted by Radha Krishna lila. I hope this is more clear. ys, bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 1999 Report Share Posted December 31, 1999 May I be so bold (or foolish) to comment here? There is nothing wrong with the quotes sent by any of the contributors, neither Nayan Ranjan nor Bhadra Balaram or anyone else. Nayan Ranjan sends many quotes and if he sends one that may be better appreciated by devotees on a high level, it doesn't mean he has become a sahajiya. Different quotes are for different people, and there is no harm for a devotee to be aware of those that don't apply to him at his present stage. "Everyone should get married.Marriage should be avoided as much as possible." Both are quotes from Srila Prabhupada. Both are true to sastra. Both are correct. It requires a little transcendental intelligence (as distinguished from mundane intelligence) to understand how this can be so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
