Then how do you claim that >talk.krishna can restrain us from useless talk.about.sex etc. People always misunderstand Krishna's pastimes with the Gopis and Srimati Radharani. It is a very difficult subject matter for us to understand because we think Krishna is like us. But Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is unlimited in every respect whereas we are very limited. We are small an He is great. Everything that exists here in the material world has its original counterpart in the spiritual world. The difference is there it is in it's original pure form whereas here it is reflected in a perverted way. So this mundane sex life is a perverted reflection of the pure spiritual relationship between Krishna and His devotees. Everything exists there, but it is not like sex life here. There is a vast difference. Mundane people consider Krishna to be a woman-hunter or a very lusty young boy... But this is not the case. To understand Krishna's pastimes with the Gopis one has to understand Krishna first. So there is a very special book, Srimad Bhagavatam, which presents the science of Krishna. In the tenth canto Krishna's pastimes are described, but cantos 1-9 have to be studied first. Otherwise one will miss the point and think Krishna to be an ordinary person. "The acts of yogamaya make it possible for the Lord and the gopis, in loving ecstasy, to sometimes meet and sometimes separate. These transcendental loving affairs of the Lord are unimaginable to empiricists involved in the impersonal feature of the Absolute Truth. Therefore the Lord Himself appears before the mundaners to bestow upon them the highest form of spiritual realization and also personally relish its essence. The Lord is so merciful that He Himself descends to take the fallen souls back home to the kingdom of Godhead, where the erotic principles of Godhead are eternally relished in their real form, distinct from the perverted sexual love so much adored and indulged in by the fallen souls in their diseased condition. "The reason the Lord displays the rasa-lila is essentially to induce all the fallen souls to give up their diseased morality and religosity, and to attract them to the kingdom of God to enjoy the reality. A person who actually understands what the rasa-lila is will certainly hate to indulge in mundane sex life. For the realized soul, hearing the Lord's rasa-lila through the propper channel will result in complete abstinence from material sexual pleasure." (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Adi-lila 4.30) So talk.krishna would be very effective in restraining us from talk.useless. It has to be heard from a proper authority though. The whole thing is spoiled if the speaker is not qualified. >No offence intended. Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
