We were caught in the traffic for a long long time. On the way from the farm to here. So I read a lot of Slokas on the way, and one in particular…well the one I liked…well there’s many that I like actually, but here’s one that I liked:
Not by wearing Saffron cloth,
Not by restricting food or fasting,
Or other types of sense control,
Not by living in the forest,
Not by discussing philosophy,
And not by observing a vow of silence,
But, only by even the slightest beginning of the devotional service to the Lotus Feet of Lord Govinda, who enjoys pastimes on the Yamuna’s white banks, is Kamadev stopped!
