The murti of God, the abode of God, the pārshad of God and the jiva – these four are eternal and everything else is perishable. Of them, the jiva is bound. Just as someone who is shackled cannot get out, similarly, the jiva is shackled to Prakruti in the form of women, and women are shackled to men. Thus they are mutually bound, and this cannot be broken by any means. However, this is broken by spiritual knowledge, but it is not broken by merely physically renouncing. On this, the example of a eunuch and bullock was given, “They renounce physically but desires are not overcome.”
