“When I shall be eager to understand the literature given by the Gosvāmīs, then I shall be able to understand the transcendental love affairs of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.” In other words, unless one is trained under the disciplinary succession of the Gosvāmīs, one cannot understand Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. The conditioned souls are naturally averse to understanding the spiritual existence of the Lord, and if they try to know the transcendental nature of the Lord’s pastimes while they remain absorbed in materialism, they are sure to blunder like the  sahajiyās .
TEXT 35
‘ভবেৎ’ ক্রিয়া বিধিলিঙ্, সেই ইহা কয় । কর্তব্য অবস্ম এই, অম্মতা প্রত্যবায় ॥ ৩৫ ॥
‘bhavet’ kriyā vidhiliṅ, sei ihā kaya kartavya avaśya ei, anyathā pratyavāya
SYNONYMS
bhavet — bhavet ;  kriyā —the verb;  vidhi-liṅ —an injunction of the imperative mood;  sei —that;  ihā —here;  kaya —says;  kartavya —to be done;  avaśya —certainly;  ei —this;  anyathā —otherwise;  pratyavāya —detriment.

As long as one is in material conditional life, strict discipline is required in the matter of moral and immoral activities. The absolute world is transcendental and free from such distinctions because there inebriety is not possible. But in this material world a sexual appetite necessitates distinction between moral and immoral conduct. There are no sexual activities in the spiritual world. The transactions between lover and beloved in the spiritual world are pure transcendental love and unadulterated bliss.
One who has not been attracted by the transcendental beauty of  rasa  will certainly be dragged down into material attraction, thus to act in material contamination and progress to the darkest region of hellish life. But by understanding the conjugal love of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa one is freed from the grip of attraction to material so-called
