Reto'ṇḍa yoga piṇḍāṇḍe,
kaṇa eko 'ṇḍa ujjhitaḥ।
Raktasya kaṇa koṭibhyaḥ,
retas tat puṃsi saṃyamaḥ॥

[When the sperm of male fertilizes the ovum of female, the fertilized egg results. Here, only one cell is lost in the case of females. The sperms are generated from the nutrients and oxygen supplied by the blood to the reproductive tissues (śukram). Hence, whenever the sperms are released, loss of blood (nutrients and oxygen present in the blood) is very much in the rest of the body in the case of males. Therefore, males should have more control on sex for the sake of good health.]

 

Kaiścid vaijñānikai ratra,
pariṇāmo nirākṛtaḥ।
Māṃsa medas śalya majjā —
madhyā'vasthā ścaturvidhāḥ॥

[Some scientists oppose the direct modification of blood into sperm. We also did not say that the blood is converted directly into sperm. We have told that there are four intermediate items before the blood is converted into semen, which are muscles, fats, bones and marrow of bones.]

 

Poṣakān prāṇa śaktiṃ ca,
dadāti rudhiraṃ tviha।
Dhanādānena dīnaścet,
dhanī pariṇataḥ kimu ?॥

[The blood carries nutrients and oxygen (life energy) to all parts of the body including the reproductive tissues that generate sperms. This can be told as the indirect modification of blood into sperm. If a poor fellow (X) becomes a rich fellow (Y) by taking money from another rich fellow (Z), this does not mean that we have said that Z is directly modified into Y. We can say that Z is modified into Y indirectly by the transfer of his money to Y. Now, we can also say that Z is modified into X due to the same transfer of money.]

 

Kriyā kāmān manaḥ prema,
jñānāt karma varaṃ katham?।
Iti mā cintayed dṛṣṭaḥ,
vyatyayaḥ puṇya pāpayoḥ॥

[You need not worry by saying that in one place, theoretical love is greater than practical lust, whereas in another place, practical devotion is greater than theoretical devotion (and theoretical knowledge) since both are contradicting each other resulting in the doubt that whether theory is greater than practice or vice versa. When the subjects are different due to the different fields of topics, such contradiction can’t be entertained as if it is in one topic. We can give an example taking two different topics called merit and sin. A practical merit is greater than the theoretical merit, whereas a theoretical sin (doing sin in mind) is greater than practical sin. Since merit and sin are different topics, you can’t bring mutual contradiction in different topics. Since love is total sacrifice and lust is total selfishness, we can say that both are totally opposite topics.]

 

Avaśeṣa kramotpannāḥ,
rasādvai sapta dhātavaḥ।
Rudhirāt poṣakādānāt,
teṣāṃ pariṇatir matā॥

[From the first dhātu, Rasa (plasma state generated from digested food), the rest six dhātus are generated gradually. The process of such generation is like this:- From the first dhātu, the second dhātu called blood is generated. From the remaining of second dhātu, the third dhātu called flesh is generated. From the remaining of third dhātu, the fourth dhātu called fat is generated. In this way, the process of generation of all these dhātus takes place. Since blood is moving over all the body supplying oxygen and nutrients, you can assume the other five dhātus as modifications of blood.]

 

Pariṇāmaḥ prasū sthāna —
rasasyaiva ṣaḍīritāḥ।
Rudhiraṃ tu pitussthānaṃ,
teṣāṃ bharaṇa karmaṇā॥

[The first dhātu called Rasa stands in the place of mother for the rest six dhātus and here, we can say that the six dhātus are the modifications of the first dhātu. The blood stands in the place of father since blood grows and sustains all of them by supplying food and life energy.]

 

Ṣaṇṇāṃ sāre hi dhātūnāṃ,
śukre sarvaṃ pratiṣṭhitam।
Nigrahe skhalanasyāsya,
sāvadhānaḥ pumān bhavet॥

[The seventh dhātu called Śukram is the essence of all the preceding six dhātus. Hence, in this seventh dhātu, everything is established. The protection from leakage of this Śukram or sperm should be taken as topmost important of all things in life. Hence, a male soul shall be very much alert in controlling the ejection of sperm.]

 

Mattulya sundarīs sraṣṭuṃ,
nāsti kaści dapi śramaḥ।
Strītulya vādino hartuṃ,
Ūrvaśī sā mamorutaḥ॥

[There is no strain for Me to create females as beautiful as Myself to attract the bad male souls immersed in Dushpravrutti to lead them to the final Nivrutti. These male souls are fighting with God that males were deprived of equal justice along with females. You know that the most beautiful dancer of heaven called as Ūrvaśī was just created from My lap when I drew a line on My lap.]

 

Ātma doṣān vimṛśyā 'taḥ,
prārthanīyos 'mi jīvinā।
Sarvajña racanā mānyā,
dhanyo viśvāsi pāmaraḥ॥

[If any soul desires something from Me, it should consider its own defects before asking its desiring boon. Every soul must follow the divine plan because such a plan is created by the omniscient God. A soul with ordinary intelligence and with extraordinary faith is far far better than a soul with extraordinary intelligence and ordinary faith.]

 

Samo 'haṃ sarva jīveṣu,
liṅga bhedo na Me dṛśi।
Bandhās chedyāḥ prayatnena,
santi putreṣanādayaḥ॥

[All the souls are equal to Me. The gender difference doesn’t exist in My view. The male souls need not be hasty to enter into sweet devotion to defeat the spouse-bond for the sake of God in their present life itself for their transformation from Dushpravrutti to Nivrutti via Pravrutti. Moreover, the spouse-bond test is the last and easiest test for any soul in which even the male soul will be given a female birth. Meanwhile, a lot of time is to be used in destroying several strong bonds. First, let the male soul put efforts to cut the doubly strongest bond like the joint bond with money and children so that it can enter into sweet devotion in the next immediate birth.]

 

Satyā Madhura bhaktis syāt,
vinā putra dhaneṣaṇām।
Duṣpravṛtteḥ pravṛttyarthaṃ,
sā cordhvaṃ tyāga eva hi॥

[If the joint bond with money and children is not broken, the sweet devotion is also not true. Even such true sweet devotion exists in the first transformation of the soul from Dushpravrutti (attracted to unjust worldly bonds) to Pravrutti (attraction limited to justified worldly bonds) only. When the soul enters Nivrutti from Pravrutti, even the justified worldly bonds are broken. In Nivrutti, all the worldly bonds without any exception are sacrificed along with their fascinations for the sake of service in spiritual mission of God in this world.]

 

Ojasas tejasā bahvyo,
striyo gurava īkṣitāḥ।
Ākarṣantyo duṣpravṛttān,
śravaṇāt parivartitān॥

[I have created several female preachers, who look very attractive by their bright radiation that is developed due to the excess of ojas based on their control of senses. They attract the male souls, who are immersed in illegal bonds of Dushpravrutti. When these male souls listen the spiritual speeches of such beautiful saints, these bad souls get reformed and stay in Pravrutti.]

 

Ādā vasma danu sṛtiḥ,
dhāvad vṛṣabha nigrahe।
Mitraṃ cānu sare dduṣṭaḥ,
so 'rthavāda vidhis śṛtaḥ॥

[A bad soul must be initially followed by us so that we will become its best friend. After some time, when the friendship becomes very strong, such bad soul will follow us. When a powerful bull is running, we can’t resist it in the very first step itself because the bull will think about us that we are its enemies trying to stop it. But, if we run along with it for some time, the bull will think about us that we are its friend following it. After some time when the friendship is well established, the bull can be easily stopped by us. Since we followed it initially, it will follow us later on. This is called as the process of Arthavāda that is heard from scriptures.]

 

Rūpeṇā kṛṣyate mūḍhaḥ,
jñānena bhakta paṇḍitaḥ।
Ārambha pāpī kāaalena,
dvitīyo bhavati dhruvam॥

[An ignorant fellow is attracted by beauty in the initial stage. A devoted scholar is attracted by the spiritual knowledge of the preacher. Even the ignorant fellow attracted in wrong direction will certainly reach the stage of devoted scholar in a short time after hearing the true spiritual knowledge preached by the preacher.]

 

Ārambha doṣas sarvatra,
krameṇa doṣa mocanam।
Ārambhe dhūmavā nagniḥ,
nirdhūma jvālayā kramāt॥

[In the beginning stage, the defect will exist everywhere and as  time proceeds, the defect will disappear. In the beginning, the fire is covered by smoke. But, as time proceeds, the smoke disappears and bright flames appear.]

 

Apsaro yoga muddiśya,
yajña karma vadā śrutiḥ।
Yajñārcanena tad Brahma,
prāpnoti kāma varjitaḥ॥

[Following the same principle, even the Veda says that if one performs the Vedic ritual (Yajña), the performer will get the union of very beautiful heavenly dancers. Attracted by this Arthavāda, the person is doing the Vedic ritual taking a long time. During this time, the performer of the Vedic ritual will be attracted to God Brahman (called as Indra, Agni etc.), gets diverted from the union with heavenly dancers and reaches God with the destruction of his lust.]

 

Balahīna guṇaṃ kṛtvā,
palaṃ karṣet timiṃ yathā।
Yamo hinasti coddhāro,
guruṇā kriyate dvidhā॥

[The quality of weakness is made as the attraction and the devotee is exploited like the fish is caught through a small piece of flesh kept as its attraction. Due to the same worldly attractions, god Yama tortures the soul like the fisherman tortures the caught fish. By the same worldly attraction, the spiritual preacher uplifts the soul. Both good and bad results are seen in the same exploitation.]

 

Śrī Rādhādevī Uvāca:-
[Shri Radha Devi spoke:-]

 

Antarārthaṃ tavotsṛjya,
kevalācā''ra vartinaḥ।
Pravṛttisthā api bhraṣṭāḥ,
pāmarāḥ kevalaṃ na hi॥

[People don’t understand the inner meaning of Your actions. They simply follow Your action without understanding the hidden intention in it. By such actions, not only ignorant people slip from the right path, but also even the scholars of justice sticking to Pravrutti get spoiled.]

 

Jānate 'pi kriyā tattvam,
budhā indriya mohitāḥ।
Viparītārtha mākhyāya,
pateyuḥ pāpa karmaṇi॥

[Even though the scholars know the right essence of Your actions, due to their undefeated fascination towards their senses, they will establish the opposite wrong meaning and will certainly fall in doing sinful actions.]

 

Śrī Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān uvāca:-
[God Shri Krishna spoke:-]

 

Tvayoktaṃ sādhu jānāmi,
Rādhe! Jñāna Sarasvati !।
Avatārair bhuvi prāyo,
sattattvaṃ vivṛṇomyaham॥

[O Radha! You are Goddesses Sarasvati in view of your excellent knowledge. What you have told is perfectly correct. I know this point very well. Again and again, I descend to earth in the form of human incarnations and propagate the true essence of all My divine actions.]

 

Sūcī bādhā kṛte vaidyaḥ,
kim dadāti na cauṣadham?।
Ātma paṅka bhayāt kiṃ na,
paṅkamagnas samuddhṛtaḥ?॥

[Will the doctor not inject the medicine to avoid the pain caused by the needle of the injection? Will a strong and good person not jump into the mud pond to save somebody, who is drowning in the mud pond, due to the fear that his clothes will be spoiled by the mud?]

 

Anukuryu riti prāk kiṃ,
hato vālī mayā na saḥ ?|
Tannirodhāya taddaṇḍam,
svīkariṣyāmi cāyatau॥

[Fearing the imitation of My action in the future, did I stop killing that bad Vālī in My previous incarnation as Rama? In order to stop such imitation, I am going to take the punishment of that assumed sin in the future. (Since Vālī is bad and can’t be killed from the front due to his divine boon, Rama killed him hiding Himself behind a tree. This may be exploited in the future. A strong and good person may be decided as a bad person and may be killed by shooting him from the backside even though such good person is not having any divine boon. The inability to kill such a strong and good person from the front is covered by the killer by showing the example of Rama killing Vālī from backside. In order to avoid such misinterpreted exploitation, Rama considered it as sin done by Him and underwent the punishment while He incarnated as Krishna.)]

 

Tāścā 'nye munayas satyaṃ —
pracārayanti samprati।
Dvāparānte kalir nāśāt,
yugadharmācca dūṣitaḥ॥

[In this Dvāpara age, these Gopikas, who are great sages, will propagate the truth of this Rāsa-dance. The other sages will also support their propagation of spiritual knowledge. Hence, there is no fear that people in this Dvāpara age will be spoiled by misunderstanding this Rāsa-dance. But, when Kali age comes after the end of this Dvāpara age, the truth of this Rāsa-dance disappears because there is a lot of destruction in the time between two ages. Hence, Kali age is spoiled. Moreover, the nature of Kali age is also highly sinful. Due to this reason also, the Kali age is more spoiled.]

 

Duṣpravṛtti hṛtās sarve,
praṇaṣṭendriya nigrahāḥ।
Bhaktā Madhura bhaktyākhya —
cchalās syu rātma vañcakāḥ॥

[In the Kali age, almost all the souls don’t have control on their senses and are stolen by Dushpravrutti. Even the devotees deceive their own selves in the mask of sweet devotion.]

 

Tānuddharāmi mallakṣyān,
kāmino maṇi pannagān।
Kaṇṭakaṃ kaṇṭakeneva,
priya bhaktān pathaścyutān॥

[I will uplift these sinful devotees. Even though they are lustful, they are turned towards Me. They have both merit and defect. The merit is that they are turned towards Me only and the defect is that they are lustful. They are like the serpent (defect) having a gem on their head (merit). They are pacifying their lust in the mask of devotion. Their cunning nature is tackled by My creation of illusory forms having My own form. A thorn must be plucked up by another thorn only. Finally, they are guided to the proper correct goal only. Even though they lost the correct path, they are My dear devotees only.]

 

Nindā daṇḍau ca gṛhṇāmi,
tyāgo bhakti prabhāvavān|
Nāhaṃ paśyāmyanya patham,
jānāsi yadi bodhaya॥

[I am taking the blame and also punishment assuming this as sin in this program of helping every devotee whether good or bad. This sacrifice of Mine is shining by the light of devotion of the devotee to God. I do not find a better path than this to lead the souls of rigid sinful nature. If you know some better path, please enlighten Me with such advice.]

 

Ṛṣayo dagdha kāmās tāḥ,
kāma māropayāmi kim ?।
Anurodho 'tra matkārya —
bhāga eva priyo mama॥

[These Gopikas are sages, who have burnt their lust in continuous penance done in their past several births. Will I force them into lust by creating My illusory forms? I always try to remove the lust and increase love. Will I do the reverse that too in the case of those most sacred sages? Hence, in this dance, there is no sexual union, which is based on lust alone. This dance is the divine program to indicate the plan of attracting sinners towards God. When Gopikas threatened Me that they will commit suicide if I don’t dance with them, I was pleased with them because this dance was My program only.]

 

Rājakanyā'nurodhastu,
na Me kārya gato yataḥ।
Maunenā'ṅgīkṛtaṃ kāmaḥ,
premṇā saha pravartate॥

[When 16,000 daughters of kings force Me to marry them, such event is not in My program. Hence, I was not pleased with their force. I accepted their proposal with silence. Their love was mixed with lust. Love is indicated since they refused to marry anybody other than Me. Their force indicates their lust to be pacified with Me through the compulsory marriage throughout their lives.]

 

Māyā rūpaṃ tatas sṛṣṭaṃ,
tvayi kevala kāmataḥ।
Brahmacaryaṃ na Me bhraṣṭaṃ,
bhavatyātma svarūpiṇī॥

[For the sake of their marriages also, I have created My illusory forms only. Even though their lust is based on love towards Me, My love based lust is always on you only. The reason for such rigidity is that My celibacy is not spoiled if I unite with you. The reason is that you are the incarnation of My inherent unimaginable power and My union with yourself is My union with Myself since power and possessor of power are always one and the same.]

 

Saṃśayo na hi te kaścit,
Mayi yat tvamahaṃ sadā।
Pṛcchasi tvaṃ loka kṛte,
tadajñānaṃ tvayi sthitam॥

[Yourself and Myself are always one and the same Parabrahman. Hence, you will not get any doubt about Me. You are asking Me all these doubts for the sake of all the people in this world. In order to make you ask questions like this, the ignorance is imposed on your role as an ideal devotee to lead our devotees.]

 

Āvayor nāṭake Rāsa —
krīḍeyaṃ nāṭakāntaram।
Evaṃ jñātvā prasannā cet,
matpātraṃ praviśasyapi॥

[We both are playing in this world-drama in our own individual roles. This Rāsa-dance is another internal drama within this world-drama. If you know this secret and become peaceful and happy, you will lose all your ignorance and enter My omniscient role leaving your ignorant role.]

 

Iti Śrī Datta Svāmi viracita Śrī RādhāKṛṣṇa Gītāyāṃ Mokṣa Prāpti Vicāra Yogo Nāma Ekādaśādhyāyaḥ।

[Like this, in Shri RadhaKrishna Gita, composed by Shri Datta Swami, Eleventh Chapter called ‘The Association of Enquiry about the attainment of salvation’ is completed.]
