Hare Krishna,
This story is about Pingala the Prostitute Devotee of Krishna. The Devotee of Lord Krishna, Who is Praised in the 11th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam and is described as one of the 9 Gurus for the Avadhuta Brahaman.
The following is the teachings by Sukadeva goswami to Maharaj Parikshit in the 8th Chapter, 11th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.
The Story of Piṅgalā
Lord Kṛṣṇa told Uddhava how the avadhūta brāhmaṇa explained to Mahārāja Yadu the instructions he had received from nine of his gurus which are
the python,
the ocean,
the fire,
the bumblebee and the honeybee,
the elephant,
the honey thief,
the deer,
the fish,
And the prostitute named Piṅgalā.
O son of kings, previously in the city of Videha there dwelled a prostitute named Piṅgalā. Now please hear what I have learned from that lady.
Once that prostitute, desiring to bring a lover into her house, stood outside in the doorway at night showing her beautiful form.
O best among men, this prostitute was very anxious to get money, and as she stood on the street at night she studied all the men who were passing by, thinking, “Oh, this one surely has money. I know he can pay the price, and I am sure he would enjoy my company very much.” Thus she thought about all the men on the street.
As the prostitute Piṅgalā stood in the doorway, many men came and went, walking by her house. Her only means of sustenance was prostitution, and therefore she anxiously thought, “Maybe this one who is coming now is very rich… Oh, he is not stopping, but I am sure someone else will come. Surely this man who is coming now will want to pay me for my love, and he will probably give lots of money.” Thus, with vain hope, she remained leaning against the doorway, unable to finish her business and go to sleep. Out of anxiety she would sometimes walk out toward the street, and sometimes she went back into her house. In this way, the midnight hour gradually arrived.
As the night wore on, the prostitute, who intensely desired money, gradually became morose, and her face dried up. Thus being filled with anxiety for money and most disappointed, she began to feel a great detachment from her situation, and happiness arose in her mind.
The prostitute felt disgusted with her material situation and thus became indifferent to it. Indeed, detachment acts like a sword, cutting to pieces the binding network of material hopes and desires. Now please hear from me the song sung by the prostitute in that situation.
O King, just as a human being who is bereft of spiritual knowledge never desires to give up his false sense of proprietorship over many material things, similarly, a person who has not developed detachment never desires to give up the bondage of the material body.
The prostitute Piṅgalā said: Just see how greatly illusioned I am! Because I cannot control my mind, just like a fool I desire lusty pleasure from an insignificant man.
I am such a fool that I have given up the service of that person who, being eternally situated within my heart, is actually most dear to me. That most dear one is the Lord of the universe, who is the bestower of real love and happiness and the source of all prosperity. Although He is in my own heart, I have completely neglected Him. Instead I have ignorantly served insignificant men who can never satisfy my real desires and who have simply brought me unhappiness, fear, anxiety, lamentation and illusion.
Oh, how I have uselessly tortured my own soul! I have sold my body to lusty, greedy men who are themselves objects of pity. Thus practicing the most abominable profession of a prostitute, I hoped to get money and sex pleasure.
This material body is like a house in which I, the soul, am living. The bones forming my spine, ribs, arms and legs are like the beams, crossbeams and pillars of the house, and the whole structure, which is full of stool and urine, is covered by skin, hair and nails. The nine doors leading into this body are constantly excreting foul substances. Besides me, what woman could be so foolish as to devote herself to this material body, thinking that she might find pleasure and love in this contraption?
Certainly in this city of Videha I alone am completely foolish. I neglected the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who awards us everything, even our original spiritual form, and instead I desired to enjoy sense gratification with many men....

@@VedicTales Guys i got a very weird experience today. I saw a dream and suddenly i became conscious of it. I was conscious of the idea that i was dreaming. I became very happy then i thought let me control this dream. I was completely aware that my consciousness has been withdrawn from the body and is now being projected in the mind only. So i focused my whole concentration and tried to mold the dream in my way. As i was doing it, suddenly, my whole mind shook, it felt like i am entering into void, i became very afraid because a thought struk me that if I not stop it now then I am never going to come back, so i dropped this process and i thought lets wake up because i was feeling a little bit of weird sensation in my brain. So i woke up and started doing my daily activities suddenly, i knew that, i have not woken up and i am still dreaming. So
I again tried to woke up and then again started to do my daily activities after sometime i again felt that this is also a dream. I said to me what the fuck is going on. I became very scared. I again tried to wake up but still after waking up, i knew that i was dreaming. I became very much afraid. I again tried to wake up and after waking up, i ran toward my parents for help, after telling them about this experience, i found that i am still dreaming. I desperately called for my parents in my dream again and again. I thought i am never going to wakeup again. But i knew that i am eternal. No one can kill me but still i didn't want to leave this body at this age. After desperately trying to wake up again and again i felt helpless, finally i screamed very loud in my dream, i said "oh hari(vishnu) please help me, i have forcefully tried to control my dream and now i have forgotten how to wake up " When i said this i felt love for him, as soon as i said this to vishnu, i felt a current emerging from the heart and spreading all over my body and suddenly i woked up. I was still confuse whether i am dreaming or this is the waking world but after sometime i got to know that i am in the walking world when my sister called me mad because i was talking nonsense
I thought i should share this with you.
