TRANSLATION

What is the use of a big education or the practice of austerities and

renunciation, and what is the use of studying religious scriptures, of

living in solitude and silence, if, after all that, one's mind is stolen by

a woman?

 

PURPORT

All of the above-mentioned processes are useless if one's heart and mind are

stolen by an insignificant woman. One who hankers after a woman's

association certainly spoils his spiritual progress. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta

Sarasvati Thakura states that if one worships the example of the liberated

gopis of Vrndavana, who accepted Lord Sri Krsna as their paramour, one can

free one's mental activities from the contamination of lust.

SB 11.26.13
