Joy Of Celibacy

Legitimate Burglars?

December1

:-) A man said his credit card was stolen but he decided not to report it because the thief was spending less than his wife did.

Srila Prabhupada says, “Therefore in the Bhagavata they are called svajanakhya-dasyu. Dasyu means burglars. So the family members, they are legitimate burglars. Yes. If somebody takes your money from the pocket, he becomes pickpocket, criminal, but if your wife takes it away, you very become pleased. “Oh, how my wife is nice.” (laughter) So they are called svajanakhya-dasyu. It is taken as love. “How much my wife loves that she is taking all my money from pocket.”
(Lecture, The Nectar of Devotion, Vrndavana, October 21, 1972)
