How does a devotee engage his senses in this world?
*Krishna gives a key point - Raga Dvesha Vimukteshu. No attachment and No aversion while moving about in this world.*
- A female patient in terminal stage if she starts liking the male nurse that is a problem because her last thoughts will revolve around him - Raga.
- At the same time if she starts hating the male nurse (some women naturally don't like males) then this is also a problem because her last thoughts revolve around him (negative thoughts though) - Dvesha.
- Both cases she will die thinking of him and will take birth again as a Male mostly Karma willing.
