In Bhagavad Gita 3.37 it is mentioned that lust is the eternal enemy of living entities,
This list binds one to this material world & makes one forget our eternal relationship with Krishna by clouding our consciousness.
How does this Lust develops??
That is described in Bhagavad Gita 2.62. :-
dhyāyato viṣayān puṁsaḥ
saṅgas teṣūpajāyate
saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ
kāmāt krodho 'bhijāyate
While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.
So this attachment that develops while contemplating on the sense on the sense objects is to be avoided.
But avoiding this attachment is not so easy for even demigods like shiva or Brahma what to tell of ordinary living entity??
Shivaji was attracted by Pārvatī & as a result Kārtikeya was born.
But HariDas Thankur conquered the Mayadevi in the form of prostitue & made her devotee.
So devotees can conquer this attachment like HariDas Thanku did but he was Namacharya & very advanced devotee we cannot imitate him otherwise we are sure to fall down.
So what can practicing devotee like us can do to avoid attachment??
Krishna explained it in Bhagvad Gita 7.1 :-
śrī-bhagavān uvāca
mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha
yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ
asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ
yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu
Now hear, O son of Pṛthā [Arjuna], how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt.
So we cannot become artificially detach from material attachment but it can be done by attaching our mind to Krishna by engaging in practical devotional service which is transcendental in nature.
This Seva & Sadhana Should be done with sincerity & seriously under bona fide spiritual master in desciplic succession(Sadhu Sanga).
