We have to become pure we have to give up greed because it will possess us. If we don’t care about the heart and only about sex, we become cruel. If we want to experience a higher reality then we have to give up illicit sex – not having one woman today and another one tomorrow. If one wants to achieve higher things in life then we have to give up material things first!Īnother demon, Pralambasura, who represents lust for women, greed, desire for worship and position, was killed by Balarama too. This demon, in the form of an ass, represents being loaded up with material things! Therefore he could not think of higher things.

Everyone is interested only in the Supreme Lord, and there is a constant festival. Sometimes the Lord comes to this world. In the spiritual world, people have bodies made of spirit.
