TRANSLATION In the minds
of those who are too attached to sense enjoyment and material opulence,
and who are bewildered by such things, the resolute determination of devotional
service to the Supreme Lord does not take place.
PURPORT Samadhi
means "fixed mind." The Vedic dictionary, the Nirukti, says, samyag
adhiyate 'sminn atma-tattva-yathatmyam: "When the mind is fixed for
understanding the self, it is called samadhi." Samadhi is
never possible for persons interested in material sense enjoyment, nor
for those who are bewildered by such temporary things. They are more or
less condemned by the process of material energy.
