don't go with return ticket

Sometimes we go to hear or see rasa-lila. But unless we are advanced in spiritual consciousness, this hearing of or seeing some rasa-lila, sometimes it brings us down. If one is actually seeing rasa-lila, the result will be hrd-roga-kamam apahinoty acirena dhiraḥ. This is the injunction in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. If one has actually heard from a realized person about vikriḍitam idam vraja-vadhūbhir visnoḥ [SB 10.33.39], Visnu and vraja-vadhū, the gopis, vikrtam, their lila, their pastime... Sraddhanvita anusrnūyad atha varnayed yaḥ. One who is actually advanced in spiritual consciousness, sraddhanvita, anusrnuyat, and hears from the realized person-anu; anu means parampara, not from ordinary person, professional reciter, but from a realized person-the result will be hrd-roga-kamam apahinoti. Then the..., our natural lusty desires will disappear. That is the result. But in spite of disappearing our this lusty desire, if we increase our lusty desire, that means we are spoiling our life. Therefore it is forbidden that neophyte students, they should not indulge in these affairs of rasa-lila. You should be very careful. People are very much accustomed to see rasa-lila in Vrndavana. Maybe they are advanced, but the test is whether he has given up his lusty desire. That is the test. If he has given up, then, after seeing rasa-lila, he should not have returned to home. My Guru Maharaja used to say, "Do not go to Vrndavana with return ticket."    (More...)
