Gṛhasthas (householders) who are under the influence of the external energy accept householder life for the purpose of sense enjoyment, but a transcendentally situated Vaiṣṇava is not subjected to the influence of the senses by the Lord's material rule of the six kinds of bodily change (kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mada, and mātsarya), even when he plays the part of a gṛhastha. Thus although Śrīla Rāmānanda Rāya acted as a gṛhastha and was accepted as an ordinary pounds-and-shillings man, he was always absorbed in the transcendental pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Therefore his mind was spiritually situated, and he was interested only in the subject of Kṛṣṇa. Rāmānanda Rāya was not among the Māyāvādī impersonalists or materialistic logicians who are opposed to the principles of Lord Kṛṣṇa's transcendental pastimes. He was already spiritually situated in the order of renounced life; therefore he was able to turn sand into gold by spiritual potency, or, in other words, to elevate a person from a material to a spiritual position. #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_80"#TEXT 80#/span##/h4# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#’gṛhastha' hañā nahe rāya ṣaḍ-vargera vaśe#/dd# #dd#’viṣayī' hañā sannyāsīre upadeśe#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# gṛhastha hañā — being a householder; nahe — is not; rāya — Rāmānanda Rāya; ṣaṭ-vargera vaśe — under the control of the six kinds of bodily changes; viṣayī hañā — being a pounds-and-shillings man; sannyāsīre upadeśe — advises persons in the renounced order of life. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# Although Rāmānanda Rāya was a householder, he was not under the control of the six kinds of bodily changes.
