But know this for certain, that Prema cannot come while there is lust.
Why not try first to get rid of carnal desires? You will say, "How is that possible? I am a householder."
Nonsense! Because one is a householder, does it mean that one should be a personification of incontinence, or that one has to live in marital relations all one's life?
And, after all, how unbecoming of a man to make of himself a woman, so that he may practise this Madhura love!
