Thank you for sharing. This reminds me of the pertinent instructions of Kṛṣṇa to remain situated in one’s natural proclivities but to deeply engage in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
I was thinking that it is similar to the Ayurvedic body types. Just as a vata type person in Sattva is energetic and adaptable, in Rajas they are indecisive and unreliable, and in Tamas they are fearful, servile, and dishonest. The body type is fixed, but the guṇa can be raised. So similarly, as you said in previous post, most will need to get married, that is their strong conditional nature, not generally to be overcome by practice of spiritual life, but they can raise the mode of acting in the prescribed path according to the nature of the body and karma acquired.
Yes, one particular nature is dificult to overcome, as Krsna explains in the gita, so usually the best strategy is to dovetail it with the service to Krsna, like in getting married, but trying to build a Krsna conscious family, working but giving the results to Krsna, etc.
