In the spiritual world there it appears that gopīs are dressed very nicely not for the purpose of her own satisfaction. They want to satisfy Kṛṣṇa, that "If I dress nicely, Kṛṣṇa will be pleased." So that is prema. And as soon as... In the material world, nobody wants to please anyone. He wants to please himself, his senses. That is kāma. We should understand what is kāma and what is prema.

So you cannot be desireless. Desire means ''kāma''. You cannot be. But desire has to be purified. That is wanted. ''Kāma ''. . . ''kāma kṛṣṇa-karmātmane''. ''Kāma ''should be utilized. The same desire should be utilized for Kṛṣṇa's service. Then it is ''bhakti''. Then it is ''prema''. We sometimes mistake the activities of ''gopīs'', it appears just like lusty affairs. But actually that is not. ''Gopīs ''used to dress themselves very nicely, attractively, so that Kṛṣṇa may be very pleased. That was ''gopīs' ''desire. Just like in the material world the woman dresses very nicely so that a man may be attracted upon her, and then both of them will fulfill their sex desire or sense gratification. That is material world. But in the spiritual world there it appears that ''gopīs ''are dressed very nicely not for the purpose of her own satisfaction. They want to satisfy Kṛṣṇa, that "If I dress nicely, Kṛṣṇa will be pleased." So that is ''prema''. And as soon as . . . In the material world, nobody wants to please anyone. He wants to please himself, his senses. That is ''kāma''. We should understand what is ''kāma ''and what is ''prema''.
