TRANSLATION While contemplating
the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from
such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.
PURPORT One who is not
Krsna conscious is subjected to material desires while contemplating the
objects of senses. The senses require real engagements, and if they are
not engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, they will
certainly seek engagement in the service of materialism. In the material
world everyone, including Lord Siva and Lord Brahma--to say nothing of
other demigods in the heavenly planets--is subjected to the influence of
sense objects, and the only method to get out of this puzzle of material
existence is to become Krsna conscious. Lord Siva was deep in meditation,
but when Parvati agitated him for sense pleasure, he agreed to the proposal,
and as a result Kartikeya was born. When Haridasa Thakura was a young devotee
of the Lord, he was similarly allured by the incarnation of Maya-devi,
but Haridasa easily passed the test because of his unalloyed devotion to
Lord Krsna. As illustrated in the above-mentioned verse of Sri Yamunacarya,
a sincere devotee of the Lord shuns all material sense enjoyment due to
his higher taste for spiritual enjoyment in the association of the Lord.
That is the secret of success. One who is not, therefore, in Krsna consciousness,
however powerful he may be in controlling the senses by artificial repression,
is sure ultimately to fail, for the slightest thought of sense pleasure
will agitate him to gratify his desires.
