<span class="link">[[Vanisource:BG 2.60|BG 2.60, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">Even Viśvāmitra, a great sage and perfect yogī, was misled by Menakā into sex enjoyment, although the yogī was endeavoring for sense control with severe types of penance and yoga practice. And, of course, there are so many similar instances in the history of the world. Therefore, it is very difficult to control the mind and senses without being fully Kṛṣṇa conscious. Without engaging the mind in Kṛṣṇa, one cannot cease such material engagements. A practical example is given by Śrī Yāmunācārya, a great saint and devotee, who says:</p><br />
:yad-avadhi mama cetaḥ kṛṣṇa-pādāravinde<br />
:nava-nava-rasa-dhāmany udyataṁ rantum āsīt<br />
:tad-avadhi bata nārī-saṅgame smaryamāne<br />
:bhavati mukha-vikāraḥ suṣṭhu niṣṭhīvanaṁ ca<br />
<p>"Since my mind has been engaged in the service of the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and I have been enjoying an ever new transcendental humor, whenever I think of sex life with a woman, my face at once turns from it, and I spit at the thought."</p><br />
<p>Kṛṣṇa consciousness is such a transcendentally nice thing that automatically material enjoyment becomes distasteful. It is as if a hungry man had satisfied his hunger by a sufficient quantity of nutritious eatables. Mahārāja Ambarīṣa also conquered a great yogī, Durvāsā Muni, simply because his mind was engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness (sa vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayor vacāṁsi vaikuṇṭha-guṇānuvarṇane).</p><br />
