Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
na jatu kamah kamanam upabhogena samyati
havisa krsna-vartmeva bhuya evabhivardhate
If we pour ghee (purified butter) into fire, the flames will increase. Similarly, if we fulfill our desires of lust, the lust-fire will also increase. It will not be extinguished. Therefore, fulfilling such desires is not the procedure for obtaining deliverance from lusty desires. However, if we pour a huge quantity of ghee at a time into the fire, the fire will be extinguished. Analogously, if we have a craving for the Absolute Whole Sree Krishna, then this craving will extinguish the fire of worldly or sense gratifying desires.
