*In performing such a sacrifice, the Treta Yuga begins, theage of sacrifice and Pururavas inadvertently pleases the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, the object of allsacrifices.

demigods

*For so many years, I enjoyed bodily pleasure, yet, Iwas not satisfied by such insignificant enjoyment. Idid not notice how the nights were coming andgoing*Just see the extent of my delusion. My heart was so
polluted by lust that I had no idea how my life waspassing

*What is the use of a big education or the practice ofausterities and renunciation, and what is the use of
studying religious scriptures, of living in solitude andsilence, if, after all that, ones mind is stolen by theobject of onesdesire.?
*Even after I had served the so-called nectar of the lips
of Urvasi for many years, my lusty desires kept risingand rising again and again within my heart and werenever satisfied, just like a fire that can never beextinguished by the oblations of ghee poured into its
flames

*How can I blame her for my trouble when Imyself am ignorant of my real, spiritualnature?I did not control my senses, and soI am like a person who mistakenly sees aharmless rope as a snake.
*What is this polluted body anyway so
filthy and full of bad odors? I was attractedby the fragrance and beauty of a womansbody, but what are those so-calledattractive features? They are simply a falsecovering created by illusion.

*Who but the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who lies beyondmaterial perception, and is the Lord of self-satisfied sages, canpossibly save my consciousness, which has, till now, been stolen?
*11.8.31 of Bhagavatam:I am such a fool that I have given up the service of that person,who, being eternally situated within my heart, is actually mostdear to me. That most dear one is the Lord of the universe, who
is the bestower of real love and happiness and the source of allprosperity. Although He is in my heart, I have completelyneglected Him. Instead I have ignorantly served insignificantmen who can never satisfy my real desires and who have simplybrought me unhappiness, fear, anxiety, lamentation andillusion
