&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;heading&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The desire to satisfy one&amp;#039;s own senses is called lust, while the desire to satisfy the senses of Kṛṣṇa is called prema, love of God&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Vanisource:NBS 7|Narada Bhakti Sutra 7, Purport]]: &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot; class=&amp;quot;purport text&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;display: inline;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In pure devotional service there is no question of sense gratification. Some people mistake the loving affairs between Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs (cowherd girls) for activities of ordinary sense gratification, but these affairs are not lustful because there is no material contamination. As Rūpa Gosvāmī states in his Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.2.285),&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:premaiva gopa-rāmāṇāṁ kāma ity agamat prathām&lt;br /&gt;
:ity uddhavādayo &amp;#039;py etaṁ vāñchanti bhagavat-priyāḥ&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Although the dealings of the gopīs with Kṛṣṇa are wrongly celebrated by many as lust, great sages and saintly persons like Uddhava hanker for such loving affairs with Kṛṣṇa.&amp;quot; Śrīla Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja, the author of Caitanya-caritāmṛta, has therefore said,&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:kāma, prema,-doṅhākāra vibhinna lakṣaṇa&lt;br /&gt;
:lauha āra hema yaiche svarūpe vilakṣaṇa&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;quot;As there is a difference between iron and gold, so there is a difference between material lust and Kṛṣṇa&amp;#039;s loving affairs with the gopīs&amp;quot; ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 4.164|CC Adi 4.164]]). Although such loving affairs may sometimes resemble material lust, the difference is as follows:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:ātmendriya-prīti-vāñchā-tāre bali &amp;#039;kāma&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:kṛṣṇendriya-prīti-icchā dhare &amp;#039;prema&amp;#039; nāma&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The desire to satisfy one&amp;#039;s own senses is called lust, while the desire to satisfy the senses of Kṛṣṇa is called prema, love of God&amp;quot; ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 4.165|CC Adi 4.165]]).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
