Yes. Are the causes that lead to fall down? Are they also applicable to polygamy? If we contract, whatever it is, if we contract, contract fall down, do they apply to polygamy also? Yes, definitely.
Because, in fact, our tradition uses the causes to fall down. They can have causes to fall down. Falling away happens when we become disarranged.
So, when we think, oh, I cannot practice one, then only we will fall. We will fall down because of the force of our conditioning. It means that meditation will come and do something wrong.
But, what after that? After that, we will still keep practicing bhakti. And, if we keep practicing bhakti, we will become purified. So, actually, we can say that, okay, my past conditionings are responsible for my fall down.
But, upon falling away, I am responsible. Nobody can force me to give up devotional service. No matter how terrible my conditionings are, nobody can, no conditioning controls us 24 hours a day that it doesn’t allow us, you know, so much freedom to chant.
No conditioning is so bad that it can make devotional life entirely impossible. So, a little bit is possible for us. Whatever little bit is possible, we do that much and try and achieve our capacity to do things.
Suppose, somebody put a hand crutcher. And, a person is told, don’t move your hands. When he is told to start moving, okay, first he starts moving the finger.
Then, he starts moving all the fingers. Then, he starts moving your palm. Then, he starts moving your forearm.
Then, he moves his forearm. So, like that, because of our conditioning, we may not have too much capacity to practice devotional service. But, whatever little capacity we have, we exercise that, and by that, we will be moving forward.
And, as we increase the capacity, the capacity will increase. As the capacity increases, we move further faster. Thank you very much.
