1. Snakes, materialists, and women

    Just as one is immediately frightened upon seeing a live serpent or even the form of a serpent, one endeavoring for self-realization should similarly fear a materialistic person and a woman. Indeed, he should not even glance at their bodily features.

    (Srila Prabhupada's rendition of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta – Madhya-lila 11.11)
