&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Hm. Degrading impotence. He doesn&amp;#039;t want to see (chuckling) His devotee a coward and impotent. So this so-called qualification, impotency and niggard, that is not qualification for devotee. He must be very, in every way, very expert and fit. Kṛṣṇa wants to see. Yes.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: So Bhagavān, Kṛṣṇa, is encouraging, kśūdraṁ hṛdaya-daurbalyam. &amp;quot;For a kṣatriya to speak like that, &amp;#039;No no, I cannot kill my kinsmen. I am giving my weapons,&amp;#039; this is weakness, cowardice. Why you are all this nonsense doing?&amp;quot; Kśūdraṁ hṛdaya-daurbalyam. &amp;quot;This kind of compassion, giving up your duty as a kṣatriya, it is simply weakness of the heart. It has no meaning.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One poet, poet Kālidāsa, he has described, dhīra means: &amp;quot;Even in the presence of provocation, one who is not disturbed, he&amp;#039;s called dhīra.&amp;quot; He has described about Lord Śiva. When Lord Śiva was being worshiped by Pārvatī, Lord Śiva was naked and Pārvatī was worshiping the śiva-liṅga, but he did not become agitated. Therefore Kālidāsa has described: dhīra. Dhīra. One who is not... The first disturbance is sexual disturbance. So anyone, although he is completely potent with all the potencies, but still, he is not disturbed with sex impulses, he&amp;#039;s called dhīra. Actually, that is called brahmacārī. Brahmacārī is not he is impotent. He can marry. He can beget children. But self-restrained. He&amp;#039;s so self-restrained, that he&amp;#039;s not disturbed. Unless he desires that &amp;quot;I shall have sex and for begetting children,&amp;quot; he&amp;#039;s not disturbed. That is called dhīra. Not by seeing any woman or man, one is disturbed.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
