Chashing fame is like a dog chasing its tail !

[Paramananda das]

Chashing fame is like a dog chasing its tail !

Srila Raghunath das Goswami calls it having a prostitute in one's heart:

pratisthasa dhrsta svapaca-ramani me hrdi natet
katham sadhu-prema sprsati sucir etan nanu manah
sada tvam sevasva prabhu-dayita-samantam atulam
yatha tam niskasya tvaritam iha tam vesayati sah

as long as the impudent untouchable woman of the desire for fame dances in my heart, why should pure love for Radha-Krsna touch me? O mind, continuously serve my spiritual master, the leader of those who are dear to the Lord. Then my master will quickly kick out that harridan and allow that pure love to enter. See less

Haridan are unfortunate outcasts in India and not clean and neglected by all unfortunatly , Srila Raghunath das Goswami says fame is like such an unfortunate woman, who wants the impure thoughts desiring fame ,so he is just giving an analogy ,not comdeming the Haridan, Gandhi by the way wanted to improve their condition but Indian Goverment
