affairs of Radha and Krsna.

jihva-vegam udaropastha-vegam:
urges of the tongue, belly and genitals
One may observe that these three senses
are physically situated in a straight line, as
far as the body is concerned, and that the
bodily demands begin with the tongue. If
one can restrain the demands of the
tongue by limiting its activities to the eating
of prasada, the urges of the belly and the
genitals can automatically be controlled.

Tatastha -sakti
We are spirit soul. We are put into marginal because... Just like
the margin is explained: tatastha. That is... We have translated
into "marginal." Just like we go on the Pacific beach. Some day
we find the water is covering the beach, and some day we see it
is open. There is no water. So that is called marginal. Marginal.
Sometimes it is covered by water; sometimes there is no water.
Similarly, we, being marginal potency, we are sometimes
influenced by this material nature, not always. Because at the
present moment for sometimes we are under the material nature,
now, if we try, then we can get out of this covering of material
nature and come to the spiritual nature. That is Krsna
consciousness movement. Krsna consciousness movement
means don't remain in the marginal position. Come in the land so
there will be no disturbance by the water. This is the position. If
you remain on the marginal position, then sometimes you will be
covered by the water and sometimes it will be dry. But if you little
come forward this side, land side, the ocean has no power to
touch you.
