Bhoga, roga, and there is another word, yoga. These are sanskrit words. Bhoga. Bhoga means enjoying sense gratification. Roga means diseased condition, where . . . when we cannot enjoy. And yoga means to get out of this bhoga and roga and go back to home, back to Godhead. That is called yoga. Bhogī, rogī and yogī. Yes. Bhogī means they are interested in sense gratification, and rogī means those who are suffering. Every one of us suffering more or less, because this is a place where suffering is the condition of life. But we forget. That is called ajñāna. Ajñāna-timirāndhasya. Ajñāna means that we living entities, being part and parcel of God, our position is as good as God. We may be little God, but our position qualitatively is as good as God.

The modern civilization, they do not know this. They think that, "This body has come out all of a sudden by accident"—and the body means the senses"—and let us enjoy the senses to the best capacity. That is perfection of life." The whole world, especially the Western country, their ideology, philosophy, is this—hedonism. "Enjoy this life very comfortably, as nicely as possible." But that is a great defect and great mistake. Those who are in gross sense enjoyment platform, it is very difficult for them to understand.

In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, bhogaiśvarya-prasaktānāṁ tayāpahṛta-cetasām (BG 2.44). Those who are too much attached to material sense enjoyment, bhoga . . . bhoga means material sense enjoyment; and roga, roga means who is . . . which puts impediments to sense enjoyment, or diseased condition. You cannot enjoy life in diseased condition.

(aside) Don't make that sound. Hear first of all.
