The Chastisement of Junior Haridāsa
193
TRANSLATION
After all the devotees saw this example, a mentality of fear grew among them. Therefore they all stopped talking with women, even in dreams.
PURPORT
In connection with  strī-sambhāṣaṇa , talking with women, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura says that talking with women for the purpose of mingling with them for sense gratification, subtle or gross, is strictly prohibited. Cāṇakya Paṇḍita, the great moral instructor, says,  mātṛvat para-dāreṣu . Thus not only a person in the renounced order or one engaged in devotional service but everyone should avoid mingling with women. One should consider another's wife his mother.
