Guest guest Posted September 25, 1999 Report Share Posted September 25, 1999 Here is a verse the brahmacary (& even a grhastha) can remember always: SB 3.31.39 sangam na kuryat pramadasu jatu yogasya param param aruruksuh mat-sevaya pratilabdhatma-labho vadanti ya niraya-dvaram asya TRANSLATION One who aspires to reach the culmination of yoga and has realized his self by rendering service unto Me should never associate with an attractive woman, for such a woman is declared in the scripture to be the gateway to hell for the advancing devotee. [Comment: Notice that Prabhupada added the word 'beautiful' which is apparently not there in the original verse. We should not wait till we practically experience this statement, we should stay away from beautiful women (or for that matter any woman) simply by hearing this statement, otherwise however advanced we may be, we may get burnt.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
