called dharma-dhvaji or dharma-kalanka, which means that he brings condemna-
tion upon the religious order. Therefore one should be extremely careful in this
connection. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura explains the word markata to
mean “restless.” A restless person cannot be steady; therefore he simply wanders
about, gratifying his senses. Just to get praise from others, to get cheap adoration
from his followers or people in general, such a person sometimes accepts the
dress of a sannydasi or babaji in the renounced order, but he cannot give up desires
for sense gratification, especially for the association of women. Such a person can-
not make advancement in spiritual life. There are eight different kinds of sensual
enjoyment with women, including talking about them and thinking about them.
Thus for a sannydsi, a person in the renounced order, talking intimately with
women is a great offense. Sri Ramananda Raya and Srila Narottama dasa Thakura
actually achieved the most elevated stage of the renounced order, but those who
imitate them, accepting them as ordinary human beings, fall under the influence
of the material energy, for that is a great misunderstanding.
