[O Singer on Flute! I am raising the same old question once again here. My question is that why are the male devotees, having the same bad quality of lust belonging to the category of Dushpravrutti, not blessed by You in par with the female devotees?]

 

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

[The main difference between male and female souls is that in the case of males, lust indicated by the quality of Tamas is always associated with ego indicated by the quality of Rajas. In female souls, only Tamas exists and not Rajas, which means that females may have lust, but not the masculine ego. Of course, there may be very few exceptions to this concept, but, the policy is always based on the majority of souls neglecting the minor exceptions.]

 

[As long as the male body exists, the male soul possesses the masculine ego born from the quality of Rajas. Therefore, the male soul must necessarily exist in the female body, which naturally is devoid of the male ego due to the absence of the quality of Rajas in major quantity.]

 

[Therefore, the male soul has to attain the female birth to destroy his ego due to Rajas irrespective of the possession of lust that is born from the quality of Tamas. When such strict condition is there, let the lust of the Tamas and ego of Rajas be destroyed in that last female birth itself in one instance.]

 

[When two fruits are attainable at the same time, even a fool will not try to put efforts separately to attain the two fruits independently. Therefore, all the souls become females in their last births. If salvation is not possible in one last female birth, a few number of female births may be required in the last stage of spiritual maturity.]

 

[Therefore, no injustice is done to the male souls and there is no partial favor done to the females with respect to males. This is the policy of one action getting two positive results at the same time. In the work of administration, such action is praised, which creates easy implementation.]

 

[In the Veda, it is told that all the souls are females and also the wives of God (Striyas satī…). This statement should not be taken in the sense of sexual life that takes place between a human couple. This statement is to be taken in the sense of behavior of the souls in the presence of God.]

 

[This means that the male soul shall also be without ego attaining the nature of females. Even the male soul is said to be the wife of God and this means that even the male soul shall serve God like the ancient wife who serves her husband with full submissiveness and obedience without any ego. This is the essence of this Vedic statement.]

 

[In this sweet devotion, the merit is that their goal is God’s devotion. But, lust with a physical body is a bad quality related to Dushpravrutti. Hence, I can’t punish a sweet devotee simply based on her bad quality. This bad quality is born from the natural behavior of souls. Hence, I rectify the sweet devotee from the defect of lust and avoid her going to hell. For her merit of devotion to God, I send the devotee to Goloka.]

 

[This defect of lust gets rectified very soon in the association of God by learning the true personality of God, who likes justice and celibacy. When the sweet devotee leaves the gross body here and reaches Goloka with an energetic body, the defect automatically disappears since the body there is energetic and not a materialized item. Hormones inducing sexual feelings are materialized substances and they act only in a materialized body. In Goloka, these rectified sweet devotees, who are liberated from both worldly bonds and worldly fascinations, enter My energetic body with their subtle energetic bodies and live in Me forever (Nivasiṣyasi mayyeva, hyata ūrdhvaṃ na saṃśayaḥ—Gita.)]

 

[Whenever I come as human incarnation to this earth, the liberated souls staying in Me, will accompany Me to earth and assist Me in My mission here. The souls will serve Me without getting trapped by  worldly bonds and worldly fascinations here. This is the complete salvation preached by the Veda (Paraṃjyoti rupasampadya svena rupeṇābhi niṣpadyate…)]

 

[All the souls come under the category called Prakruti or creation. All the souls are made of awareness and this awareness is called as Parā Prakruti (the best part of Prakruti). All souls differ from the other category called Purusha. Prakruti is female and Purusha is male even by the genders of these words. Purusha is God, who creates, maintains and finally destroys the Prakruti. God is the creator and Prakruti is creation. All the souls are tiny parts of Prakruti or creation only and they are neither God nor the parts of God.]

 

[Both males and females are exactly one and the same in the internal structure because their individual souls, qualities, minds and intellects are one and the same. There is a little difference in the modifications of their gross bodies here and there. This difference is also created for the sake of some useful purposes only. For example, breasts are created for the purpose of storing milk for the sake of a born baby. The difference in the sexual organs is for the purpose of injecting the sperm of the male to fertilize the ovum of the female. The absence of mustache and beard on the face of the female is for attracting the male for union so that the extension of humanity takes place. In this way, the differences are created by God for useful purposes only.]

 

[People may ask about the case of male devotees, who like to turn their bad quality called lust towards God in the current birth itself. The problem here is that there is no possibility of arrangement of sexual union with God since both are males. Another restriction is that the sexual union between a male and female is confined only to generation of children to extend the human generation. Even in the case of female devotees, based on this reason, the bad quality of lust is opposed by God as far as possible and the female devotee also turns towards justice shortly (Kṣipraṃ bhavati dharmātmā… - Gita).]

 

[The sages used their lust for the extension of human generation only and never had sexual union once children were generated. In the case of males, lust shall be controlled completely because their sperm is prepared from a lot of blood. In the case of females, only one cell called ovum is generated. In their case also, in the absence of fertilization, blood-loss occurs. Therefore, control of lust is for good health whether it is male or female human being.]

 

[But, in the case of some male devotees, who were unable to control their lust, they felt themselves as females and desired for simple embracement as we see the case of sages desiring to embrace God Rama. In Kali Yuga, a devotee called Caitanya Mahā Prabhu would get the embracement of God every day. This devotee is your incarnation only and gets fever every day, which is pacified by My embracement only. Since this devotee is the incarnation of Radha, God Krishna in the original form comes and embraces the devotee.]

 

[Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, a male devotee, could conquer lust completely in the same birth and stayed in this Brundavanam for one month in the female dress thinking Himself as Gopikā. This is only confined to His mind in which only husband-wife relationship existed and not the lust of the body, which is never generated. Even in personal life, Shri Paramahamsa maintained the husband-wife relationship with His own wife, Sharada Devi, without any thought of lust. The Yogī is called ‘Ūrdhavaretāḥ’ because with the help of ‘mahābhāva,’ he redissolves back the sperm into the blood, by which he shines with a lot of energy. Mahābhāva means very high concentration on God so that the worldly fascinations disappear along with which lust also disappears since it is also a worldly fascination only.]

 

[For males, the loss of blood is very much since leakage of sperm is very very frequent (it is already told that sperm is generated from a lot of blood). In the case of females, only a little blood is lost once in a month. Therefore, the male devotee must not aspire for sweet devotion as long as he is in the male body. The matured male devotee will become a female devotee in the immediate next birth to lose the ego of Rajas and the lust of Tamas together in one birth itself. He need not be hasty once he becomes eligible for salvation.]

 

[Lust belongs to the worldly phase. It is counted as injustice when lust is crossing beyond the life partner and when the lust is not controlled after generating children. Injustice is far from salvation because world and God are far from each other and opposite to each other (Dūramete viparīte viṣūcī - Veda). Love is very near to God and lust is very near to the world. Therefore, this arrangement made by Me is multidimensional and extraordinary.]
