| "We should not be adhīra. That is the perfection of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Adhīra means to remain in the material world. So long we are adhīra, there is no chance of going back home, back to Godhead. This is the tapasya—to remain dhīra. There are many causes of becoming adhīra, but the causes may not disturb us—then dhīra. Dhīradhīra-jana-priyau priya-karau. Haridāsa Ṭhākura, just like dhīra. There was cause, enough cause. He was young man, and a young prostitute, very beautiful, came at midnight and offered her body to Haridāsa Ṭhākura. He said: "Yes, very good proposal. You sit down. Let me finish my chanting. I shall enjoy." This is dhīra. "
