TRANSLATION
The Supreme Person [Bhagavan] said: My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the progressive values of life. They do not lead to higher planets, but to infamy
So we should not attach our mind greatly to any material thing or human being as one day we have to leave these. We should divert our mind and all our energies to Krishna. This will give us eternal happiness.
