And damn if I can find one that is 9x lustier than me. I guess thats why I have had four sons. Lust is good for some things! Actually, I do not believe that lust, in reference to Canakyas statement which Prabhupada sometimes quoted, means only gross bodily sex. It more implies a sensuous nature which includes emotional, mental and more subtle attachments and desires. This same *lust* can be easily transformed by a women into love for the Lord because many of those same emotions are exhibited between the Lord and His pure devotees. Prabhupada also often stated that women can surrender to the Lord easier than many of the hard-hearted men because they have this natural quality of wanting loving relationships.
