TRANSLATION
" 'Great sages, by practicing the mystic yoga system and controlling the breath, conquer the mind and senses. Thus engaging in mystic yoga and seeing the Supersoul within their hearts, they ultimately enter into impersonal Brahman, along with the enemies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. However, the damsels of Vraja, the gopis, want to embrace Krsna and His arms, which are like serpents. Being attracted by the beauty of Krsna, the gopis ultimately tasted the nectar of the lotus feet of the Lord. The Upanisads have also tasted the nectar of His lotus feet by following in the footsteps of the gopis.' "
