So is there any major difference between generic lust and specific lust? The higher form is not lust it is a contaminated sense object there are so many sense objects in this world and many of them are in your body so generic lust means that there is a contamination in us because of which we find it attractive a pure devotee may see all the dignified forms of this world as pure devotees from Krishna’s position so we can’t see that. Why? Because it is a generic lust but specific lust means that generic lust we take a long time to go but specific lust means we have ourselves contemplated allow that lust to grow so that there is an attraction to a specific person or a specific form of a person when it becomes specific then the likelihood of our acting our succumbing or falling becomes much much greater so in that sense there is definitely a difference so when a person for example say now a days there are so many wrong sites so now there is a possibility that I may just go to a wrong site that is generic lust but then somewhere from some other person I come to know there is a site and then I think maybe I will visit that site so the attraction to that particular site that is specific then when it becomes specific the likelihood of succumbing is much greater but that doesn’t mean that we think generic is entirely wrong even when generic comes up it’s not that we have to resist but when it becomes specific then the capacity to resist becomes much lesser and the likelihood of our succumbing becomes much greater Question from audience Question from audience yes it’s just specific and generic possibly but not necessarily because the whole idea is that there isn’t that environment in all cultures our world has marriage now we can say marriage is a form of specific lust and that is karmic and if a person actually practices dharma also then marriage over a period of time the attraction to lust will go up that’s how it works so it’s not necessary that specific lust will increase but it’s possible that specific lust will indulge you without any vrana
