Therefore, if the distinct being again takes the path of impiety, influenced by sensual individuals absorbed in the pleasures of the flesh and the tongue, he is sure to return to hell.

He then loses all probity, purity, compassion, gravity and spiritual intelligence, all reserve, all sense of austerity, fame, clemency, control of the mind, control of the senses, the favour of fortune and all other similar assets.

One should avoid contact with these foolish boors who are deprived of all knowledge of spiritual realization and who are like dogs that women make dance at their will.

Nothing bewitches and enslaves man more than the intercourse with women or that of men who have attachment to them.

Brahma himself was troubled by the charms of his daughter and pursued her without any shame in the form of a deer when she took the form of a doe.

Among all the beings created by Brahma, men, celestial beings and animals, none except the sage Narayana escapes the attraction of maya manifested in the form of a woman.

See then the tremendous Power of My maya, manifested through woman; by the mere movement of her eyebrows she can keep under her thumb even the greatest conquerors of the world.

He who has realized his spiritual identity in serving Me and wishes to attain the culmination of yoga, should never approach an attractive woman, for the scriptures teach that for a progressing devotee such a woman represents the threshold of hell.

Woman, created by God, embodies maya, and he who lives in contact with her, accepting her services, must know without doubt that he is plunging towards death, as into a well covered with grass.

The being who, because of his attachment to a woman in his past life, has now been given a feminine form, foolishly contemplates maya in the form of man, her husband, and sees in him the one who assures her wealth, children, home and so many other material advantages.

Thus the woman must see in her husband, as well as in her home and children, the instruments of her death, set in place by the external energy of the Lord, just as the sweet song of the hunter represents death for the deer.

According to the body granted to him, the materialistic being wanders from one planet to another, absorbing himself in the interested action of which he endlessly reaps the fruits.
