Radha Krsna Das

"One who is ignorant of scientific knowledge of the spirit soul does not look inside the body to find happiness in the soul; instead, he goes outside to search for happiness." "

The human body is rarely achieved and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection."

"Krishna is the knower of everything because He does not see outside in but inside out. Gopinathji sees the Motivations, Intentions & Aspiration within our heart."

Right. I'm not sure it can get any steamier, but I'm certainly going to try. Which is to say, there's getting served in every hole and quite possibly some smattering of pee play and domination thrown into the mix, just for good measure. And soap.
