Supremacy of Hari-Bhakti in Kali-yuga; Warnings on Sensual Attachment; Praise of Brāhmaṇas, Purāṇa-Listening, and Gaṅgā
यत एवागतः पृथ्व्यां तस्मिन्नेव पुना रमेत् । यतः प्रसरते नित्यं मूत्रं रेतो मलोत्थितम्
yata evāgataḥ pṛthvyāṃ tasminneva punā ramet | yataḥ prasarate nityaṃ mūtraṃ reto malotthitam
جس جگہ سے انسان زمین پر آیا ہے، اسی میں پھر لذت ڈھونڈے—یہ کیسا؟ کیونکہ اسی منبع سے ہمیشہ پیشاب، منی اور پاخانے سے پیدا ہونے والی ناپاکی بہتی رہتی ہے۔

Concept: Meditation on bodily impurity (aśubha) breaks erotic fascination; what one returns to is a source of continual impurity—therefore seek higher delight in dharma and devotion.
Application: When desire surges, practice aśubha-anusmṛti (remembering bodily processes) to cool the mind; then replace with positive bhakti—nāma-japa, reading, service, and regulated conduct.
