prakrta-sahajiya--materialistic lust

In order to learn how Krsna's pleasure can be obtained, we must

read the Tenth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam in which Krsna's pleasure

potency is displayed in His pastimes with Radharani and the damsels of

Vraja. Unfortunately, unintelligent people turn at once to the sports of

Krsna in the Dasama-skandha, the Tenth Canto. Krsna's embracing

Radharani or His dancing with the cowherd girls in the rasa dance are

generally not understood by ordinary men because they consider these

pastimes in the light of mundane lust. They incorrectly think that Krsna

is like themselves and that He embraces the gopis just as an ordinary

man embraces a young girl. Some people thus become interested in Krsna

because they think that His religion allows indulgence in sex. This is

not krsna-bhakti, love of Krsna, but prakrta-sahajiya--materialistic

lust.-Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
