Text 40] King Yayati Regains His Youth 41
PURPORT
This is the nature of lusty desires. In Bhagavad-gita (7.20) it is said,
kamais tais tair hrta-jfianah: when one is too attached to sense gratifica-
tion, he actually loses his sense. The word hrta-jfidnah refers to one who
has lost his sense. Here is an example: the father shamelessly asked his
son to exchange youth for old age. Of course, the entire world is under
such illusion. Therefore it is said that everyone is pramattah, or ex-
clusively mad. Néinam pramattah kurute vikarma: when one becomes
almost like a madman, he indulges in sex and sense gratification. Sex and
sense gratification can be controlled, however, and one achieves perfec-
tion when he has no desires for sex. This is possible only when one is
fully Krsna conscious.
yadavadhi mama cetah krsna-pddaravinde
nava-nava-rasa-dhadmany udyatam rantum Gsit
tadavadhi bata nari-sangame smaryamane
bhavati mukha-vikarah susthu-nisthivanam ca
“Since I have been engaged in the transcendental loving service of
Krsna, realizing ever-new pleasure in Him, whenever | think of sex
pleasure, I spit at the thought, and my lips curl with distaste.” Sexual
desire can be stopped only when one is fully Krsna conscious, and not
otherwise. As long as one has desires for sex, one must change his body
and transmigrate from one body to another to enjoy sex in different
species or forms. But although the forms may differ, the business of sex
is the same. Therefore it is said, punah punas carvita-carvananam.
Those who are very much attached to sex transmigrate from one body to
another, with the same business of “‘chewing the chewed,” tasting sex
enjoyment as a dog, sex enjoyment as a hog, sex enjoyment as a demigod,
and so on.
