In the Consciousness of God, if the attachment of man is not to the woman, and vice versa, but it is on Krishna, God, then they can, as well as the other, to extricate itself from the traps of matter and to reach the kingdom of God. Whoever seriously adopts the Consciousness of God, whether he belongs to the lowest species, whether a woman or a man of less intelligence, such as a simple merchant or a worker, will return to God in his original dwelling in the eternal kingdom, and reach the abode of Krishna.
