untouched by material contamination. In Bhagavad Gita
it is said that the Supreme Enjoyer is uncontaminated by
the material qualities of goodness, passion, and ignorance,
but His qualities are transcendental without any touch
or tinge of material qualities. For example: sex life, the
most prominent feature of this material world. This sex
life is explained in Srimad Bhagavatam, 3rd Canto, in the
explanation of Vaikuntha world, when it is said that in
the Vaikuntha planets, the women or the fair sex is many
many more times beautiful, well-constructed, their face
and smiling more attractive, their breasts and hips are very
high, and they clearly and freely mix with male devotees.
But their strong sense of devotion towards the Lord and
being absorbed in Krishna consciousness, all the features
of womanly beauty cannot stimulate their sex passion.
In the material world the same reflection of beauty and
bodily features at once stimulates sex passion. Therefore,
the enjoyment of the opposite sex in the Vaikuntha world
has no action of sex life whereas in the material world the
perverted reflection of beauty has resultant action of sex life
which is the cause of dragging material existence. So the
description of Vaikuntha life is nirguna, and the description
of worldly life is saguna. Our devotional activities are
executed by transferring epithet; our senses are there, they
are acting pervertedly and putting us into difficulty.”
