Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

We are so accustomed, we are so, I mean to say, profoundly attached to money that we, I mean to say, take illegally others' money. Para-vitta-hartuḥ. Pretyeha vāthāpy ajitendriyas. Although we know that in this world it is faulty and also next world it is faulty, but because we have our senses uncontrolled, we cannot change. Aśānta kāmo harate kuṭumbī. And the main attraction is all these nonsense things are done simply being attached to the so-called society, friendship and love. That's all.

The other class of misery is due to this body and mind. Sometimes the body is sick; we don't feel very nice. Sometimes the mind is disturbed. That is also . . . it may be due to other friend or other relative; so mind is not in order. So this is called adhyātmika. So adhibhautika, adhyātmika. And another disturbance created by adhidaivaika. Daiva means on which we have no control, just like earthquake, flood, or similarly nature's disturbance, on which we have no control.

So here it is said, tāpa-traya-duḥkhitātmā. Duḥkhi. That is our ignorance. We are always unhappy due to these three kinds of miseries inflicted by the laws of nature, but still, we think that we are very nice. But actually we are duḥkhitātmā, we are always sorry. Nirvidyate na kuṭumba-rāmaḥ. But there is no satiation, because the only solace is that he is within the so-called friendship, love and society. That's all. Kuṭumba-rāmaḥ.

vitteṣu nityābhiniviṣṭa-cetā
vidvāṁś ca doṣaṁ para-vitta-hartuḥ
(SB 7.6.15)

And being too much attached to money matters, even learned persons, even very, I mean to say, advanced intellectually, they also try to steal others' money. Para-vitta. Although it is a fault. Although it is fault. Vitteṣu nityābhiniviṣṭa-cetā. Nitya, perpetually too much attached to money. Nityābhiniviṣṭa. Niviṣṭa means profoundly attached. Profoundly attached to money. Vidvāṁś ca doṣaṁ para-vitta-hartuḥ. Although to take other money or to steal others' money is a fault . . . it is a fault not only to the law of the state, but it is a fault to the law of the Supreme God also.

You can avoid the state law by stealing, but you cannot avoid the law of the Supreme Person. You see, He can see everywhere. You can steal very stealthily so that police constables or police force cannot see—you are think that "I am doing very nicely. Nobody can see me"—but you cannot avoid the eyes of the Supreme. So doṣa, it is faulty. Either in this world or in the next world, it is faulty.

But we are so accustomed, we are so, I mean to say, profoundly attached to money that we, I mean to say, take illegally others' money. Para-vitta-hartuḥ. Pretyeha vāthāpy ajitendriyas. Although we know that in this world it is faulty and also next world it is faulty, but because we have our senses uncontrolled, we cannot change. Aśānta kāmo harate kuṭumbī. And the main attraction is all these nonsense things are done simply being attached to the so-called society, friendship and love. That's all.

vidvān apītthaṁ danujāḥ kuṭumbaṁ
puṣṇan sva-lokāya na kalpate vai
yaḥ svīya-pārakya-vibhinna-bhāvas
tamaḥ prapadyeta yathā vimūḍhaḥ
(SB 7.6.16)

These actions are, I mean to say, performed even by so-called learned man. Actually, one who is not spiritually learned, one who is not spiritually conversant, he is not a learned man.
