TRANSLATION
"'By practicing the mystic yoga system and controlling their breath, the great sages conquered the mind and senses. Thus engaging in mystic yoga, they saw the Supersoul within their hearts and ultimately entered into the impersonal Brahman. However, even the enemies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead attain that position simply by thinking of the Supreme Lord. The damsels of Vraja, the gopis, simply wanted to embrace Krsna and hold His arms, which are like serpents. Being attracted by the beauty of Krsna, they ultimately acquired a taste for the nectar of the Lord's lotus feet. We can also taste the nectar of Krsna's lotus feet by following in the footsteps of the gopis.'
