<span class="link">[[Vanisource:SB 7.12.8|SB 7.12.8, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">If the wife of the spiritual master is young, a young brahmacārī should not allow her to care for his hair, massage his body with oil, or bathe him with affection like a mother.</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>The relationship between the student or disciple and the wife of the spiritual master or teacher is like that between son and mother. A mother sometimes cares for her son by combing his hair, massaging his body with oil, or bathing him. Similarly, the wife of the teacher is also a mother (guru-patnī), and therefore she may also care for the disciple in a motherly way. If the wife of the teacher is a young woman, however, a young brahmacārī should not allow such a mother to touch him. This is strictly prohibited. There are seven kinds of mothers:</p>
:ātma-mātā guroḥ patnī
:brāhmaṇī rāja-patnikā
:dhenur dhātrī tathā pṛthvī
:saptaitā mātaraḥ smṛtāḥ
<p>These mothers are the original mother, the wife of the teacher or spiritual master, the wife of a brāhmaṇa, the king's wife, the cow, the nurse and the earth. Unnecessary association with women, even with one's mother, sister or daughter, is strictly prohibited. This is human civilization. A civilization that allows men to mix unrestrictedly with women is an animal civilization. In Kali-yuga, people are extremely liberal, but mixing with women and talking with them as equals actually constitutes an uncivilized way of life.</p>
