Dampatyor madhuraṃ bhāvam,
sasarja Bhagavān bhuvi।
Dravyānāṃ rasacaryābhiḥ,
kṛtaṃ janalatā kṛte॥

[God created the sweet love between living couples through chemical reactions of materialised substances called hormones for the purpose of continuing the chain of living generations. This means that sex and generation of issues can take place only in materialised bodies and not in the energetic bodies.]

 

Yuge sanātane tveṣa,
na kāmāya prajāmitaḥ।
Adyāpi kāma kālānte,
prajotpatti bale'psitam॥

[In the ancient ages, this sex was without lust and was confined only to the production of children and not for pacification of lust. Even in this present time, after pacification of lust for some time of life, every human couple gets strong desire of getting children, which is the main plan of God for sex. Since this is the main plan of God, every couple gets that desire very strongly.]

 

Anyas Śaṅkara Mīrā''di –
viṣayo yo'vatāragaḥ।
Sāmānyo janatā yogyaḥ,
sarveṣāṃ jīvanaṃ matam॥

[The special case of very rare souls like Shankara, Miiraa etc., is quite different. Shankara is the incarnation of God Shiva and Miiraa is the incarnation of Goddess Radha. This point of issues is a common matter pertained to ordinary public. The common life of all the normal souls becomes the matter of any religion.]

 

Jana sañcāra saubhāgyāt,
Bhagavatyāgate bhuvi।
Prajātantuṃ mā vyavacchetsīḥ,
ityāmnāyā dapi śṛtam॥

[The Veda says that one shall not break the continuous thread of issues and the reason for this is that when God comes down to the earth as human incarnation, the earth shall be fully filled with people to be fortunate to do service to the human incarnation.]

 

Bhoga lokān martyaloke,
jñāna saṃskāra vardhanāt।
Avaśyaṃ janma bhūloke,
tīvrakarma phalāśane॥

[The upper energetic worlds are called Bhogalokas in which the fruits of the deeds are enjoyed. The birth on this earth, which is called Karmaloka or Martyaloka, means that the soul is left alone with complete free will to improve its fascination for spiritual knowledge and do good deeds. Moreover, the birth on earth is essential for a soul with very serious good or bad thoughts so that the soul does very serious good deeds or bad deeds based on those thoughts. For such serious deeds, the soul has to undergo the experience of corresponding good or bad fruits on this earth itself. For this purpose also, the human rebirth is very essential for any soul.]

 

Bhogaloke na karmāṇi,
na bhoga iha dussahāt।
Ubhayatra jīvajanma,
kāraṇaṃ karmacakragam॥

[In the upper energetic worlds, no deed is possible except the enjoyment of the fruit. On this earth, no enjoyment of the fruit except doing the deeds is possible. Therefore, the soul must appear in the upper worlds as well as on the lower earth. This is the reason for the inevitable birth of the soul on the earth, which is existing in this moving deed-fruit cycle.]

 

Kalau kāmo bhagavati,
sthāpayanto janā bhuvi।
Skhalitāḥ ṣaḍguṇe ṣveva,
kāmasya prathamāspadam॥

[In the coming Kali age, people on this earth are generally involved in the worst Dushpravrutti (unjust worldly life), superimpose their worst lust on God and fall down from the grace of God. The lust is mentioned in the first place of the six sinful qualities, which are born from Rajas and Tamas. Sex, anger, greediness, fascination to worldly life, pride and jealousy are the six vices related to sinful life.]

 

Prema kāma viṣatyaktam,
divyaṃ śreyaḥ payo'mṛtam।
Bahirvyāghro hyajā channā,
viparītaṃ bahipriyam॥

[Love is divine and leads to Nivrutti or salvation. It is the milk or divine nectar without a trace of poison. Milk should not be mixed with poison like the divine nectar (which is born after the end of the horrible haalaa hala poison that was born during the churning of sea) should not be mixed with the hālāhala poison. The true and sacred pure love covered by lust is like the goat covered by the leather of tiger. The reverse of this is the tiger or lust disguised by the leather of goat or pure love.]

 

Gopikānāṃ prema śuddham,
rāsakeli bahirviṣam।
Paraṃ śūrpaṇakhā prema,
kāmāntaḥ priya bhāṣaṇam॥

[The love of Gopikas towards Krishna is very pure internally even though it appears poisonous externally through rasa-dance. The love of Śūrpaṇakhā towards Rama was internally with poisonous lust and externally was with sweet words. Gopikas are goats covered by the leather of tiger. Śūrpaṇakhā was a tiger covered by the leather of goat.]

 

Kenā'pi dūṣaṇeneyam,
Gopī veśyā bhaven nahi।
Stutyā kayā'pi na vyāghro,
meṣo na gaṇikā bhavet॥

[By any amount of blaming logical analysis, the internal goat, which is Gopika, cannot become tiger, which is the prostitute. Similarly, by any amount of appreciation, the internal tiger or prostitute, which is Śūrpaṇakhā, cannot become the internal goat, which is the true aspirationless devotee to God.]

 

Putrārtha vijitā Gopyaḥ,
madhu bhakti jayā api।
Pratyāśā rahita krīta -
dāsyaṃ prema sadeva tat॥

[The true devotees, who have true love on Me, are prepared to sacrifice anybody and anything, along with their body in sweet devotion. All those Gopikas sacrificed their bodies to Me (to My illusory forms thinking them as Myself), but, many Gopikas could not sacrifice their hard-earned butter (wealth) preserved for their children and went to complain to My mother about My stealing of butter from their homes in spite of knowing that I am God! Most of these Gopikas passed the spouse-bond test due to sweet devotion to God, but failed in the joint-bond with wealth and children. True devotion means sacrifice of anything and anybody for the sake of God without expecting anything in return from God including the romance with God and live like a purchased slave by God by crossing even the basic ego indicated by ‘I’.]

 

Iti Śrī Datta Svāmi viracita Śrī RādhāKṛṣṇa Gītāyāṃ Tapo Vicāra Yogo Nāma Saptmādhāyaḥ।

[Like this, in Shri RadhaKrishna Gita, composed by Shri Datta Swami, the seventh chapter called ‘The Association of Enquiry about Penance’ completed.]
