Hare Krsna

Hey Keshav

The Lord's inner eagerness thus hinted at is obvious if we read His words between the lines can an alternate meaning of his words be derived?

" In the western world men have abused and exploited women, and now there is a popular movement in which women reject the authority of their husbands. Ideally, men should be staunch in spiritual life and give pure, sincere guidance to the women under their care. "

Srimad-Bhagavatam 

10.29.25 PURPORT

"Srila Jiva Gosvami astutely points out here that the gopis real, eternal husband is Lord Krsna, not their so-called husbands at home, who falsely considered the gopis their property thus the supreme religious duty for the gopis is to serve Sri Krsna, their real lover. "

Srimad-Bhagavatam 

10.29.24 PURPORT

Lord Krsna directly says to the gopis in TEXT 25 of Chapter 29 Canto 10 that:

" Women who desire a good destination in the next life should never abandon a husband who has not fallen from his religious standards, even if he is obnoxious, unfortunate, old, unintelligent, sickly or poor. "

In the PURPORT it is mentioned that the gopis, of course, being on the highest platform of spiritual perfection, were transcendental to all positive and negative religious considerations. In other words, they were the eternal lovers of the Absolute Truth.
