Sense Pleasure
Material sense pleasures are due to the contact of the material
senses, which are all temporary because the body itself is tempo-
rary. A liberated soul is not interested in anything which is
tempo-rary. Knowing well the joys of transcendental pleasures,
how can a liberated soul agree to enjoy false pleasure?
- BG 5:22, purport -
Therefore, those who are true yogĪs
or learned transcendentalists are not
attracted by sense pleasures, which are
the causes of continuous material existence.
The more one is addicted to material
pleasures, the more he is entrapped
by material miseries.
