How does meditating on Krishna's romantic pastimes conquer lust?
Not through repression — through a higher meditation. In classical
yoga, the very first demand is to root out every vestige of erotic
thought. With the meditators on Krishna, the romantic mood became
the queen of all meditation. The gopīs' love is the diametric
opposite of lust — being entirely selfless. Meditating on something
so pure reprograms the heart from within — the counterfeit simply
loses its pull. Raghunath and Kaustubha complete all five chapters
of the Rāsa Līlā. Krishna's pastimes are not the product of
material desire. They are its antidote. And anyone who hears them
faithfully will attain pure devotion and quickly conquer the
disease of the heart.
