No wonder they're so renounced! The opinion as to what constitutes actual beauty in a woman is given by *sastra*, by Canakaya, and by Srila Prabhupada himself. As it is said in English, "Beauty [meaning physical beauty] is only skin deep." Thus, the below-skin-deep beauty of a woman is her devotion to Krsna, as manifested through her devotion to her husband, her *pati-guru*. > No matter how stupid we wish to make certain parties out to be, Who is "we"?

It is not for trying to achieve impossible guarantees that stable marriages are required. Again, it is simple common sense--common sense which demonic Western society has all but rejected as inferior to their atheistic concoctions--that a spiritually progressive society is based on spiritually progressive families. In stable families, the various individuals--in the course of their spiritual progress --are certainly satisified overall to follow the natural plan of God for happy family organization. --gkd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
