The grossest type of anartha:

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees,

Please accept my dandavats. Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

Srila Prabhupada Writes in SB.2.2.11

" THe grossest type of anartha which binds the conditioned souls in material

existence is sex desire, and this sex desire gradually developes in the

union of the male and female. When the male and female are united, the sex

desire id futher aggravated by the accumulation of buildngs, children,

friends,relatives and wealth. When all these are acquired, the false sense

of egoism, or the sense of "myself" and "mine",becomes prominent, and the

sex desire expands to various political, social, altruistic, philantropic

and many other unwanted engagments, resembling the foam of the sea waves,

which becomes very prominent at one time and at the next moment vanishes as

quickly as cloud in the sky. The conditioned soul is encircled by such

products, as well as products of sex desire, and therefore bhakti yoga leads

to gradual evaporation of the sex desire, which is summarized in three

headings, namely profit,adoration and distincton. All conditioned souls are

mad after these different forms of sex desire, and one shall see for himslef

how much he has been freed form such material hankerings based primarly on

the sex desire. As a person feels his hunger satisfied after eating each

morsel of foodstuff, he must similarly be able to see the degree to

which he has been fred from sex desire. The sex desire is diminished along

with its various forms by the process of bhakti-yoga because bhakti-yoga

automatically, by the grace of the Lord, effectively results in knolwldege

and renunciation, even if the devotee is not materially very well educated."

Hopin you are well.
