Verse 14
The lightning becomes unsteady in its
friendship, failing to remain faithfully in any one of the clouds,
although they are the friends of the entire world, just as lusty women do
not remain steady even in the company of men who possess excellent
qualities.
During the rainy season, lightning appears in one group of clouds and then
immediately in another group of clouds. This phenomenon is compared to a
lusty woman who does not fix her mind on one man. A cloud is compared to a
qualified person because it pours rain and gives sustenance to many
people; a man who is qualified similarly gives sustenance to many living
creatures, such as family members or many workers in business.
Unfortunately, his whole life can be disturbed by a wife who divorces him.
When the husband is disturbed, the whole family is ruined, the children
are dispersed, or the business is closed, and everything is affected. It
is therefore recommended that a woman desiring to advance in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness peacefully live with a husband and that the couple should
not separate under any condition. The husband and wife should control sex
indulgence and concentrate their minds on Kṛṣṇa consciousness so their
life may be successful. After all, in the material world a man requires a
woman, and a woman requires a man. When they are combined, they should
live peacefully in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and should not be restless, like
the lightning, flashing from one group of clouds to another.
