Thinking of women is as good as lying down with them on a valuable

[Guest guest]

Thinking of a woman always within one’s heart is tantamount to lying down

with a woman on a valuable bedstead. The heart is the bedstead, and it is

the most valuable bedstead. When a man thinks of women and money, he lies

down and rests on the arms of his beloved woman or wife. In this way he

overindulges in sex life and thus becomes unfit for self-realization.

What a superb statement by Srila Prabhupada! Here he says that thinking of a

woman is tantamount to lying down with a woman AND THAT ALSO ON A VALUABLE

BEDSTEAD. Any guesses why he used the words 'valuable bedstaead'.
