Here is another one of Mirabai's poems expressing how the unity of merging with the divine can spoil us for non-spiritual encounters:
Three years went by and I had not
slept with a
man.
I consulted the moon about this
and she said,
it had been even longer
for her,
but she didn't think she was
missing much
