Gauḍīya
Translation
Following her with great speed, Śiva caught her, and, bringing her close by the braid of her hair, he embraced her with his arms although she was unwilling.
Personal Guidance
He caught her by the braid and dragged her near; she was unwilling, but he embraced her. Lust crosses the line of consent. Bāli Mahārāja's restraint disappeared; Śiva's restraint disappears too. None of us is automatically safe.
Reflection Questions
- Where have I crossed someone's 'no' under the influence of my own appetite?
- What habit of mine, if amplified by the right trigger, could result in similar violation?
