Guest guest Posted December 19, 2000 Report Share Posted December 19, 2000 kim vidyaya kim tapasa kim tyagena srutena va kim viviktena maunena stribhir yasya mano hrtam 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.
