Everyone, even in this age, the advanced materialistic persons, they seek after peace, peacefulness of ātmā, or self. Take for example that in Western countries the younger generation, coming from very rich family, rich nation, but they have given up the standard of living as it is observed by their fathers or grandfathers.

So everyone, even in this age, the advanced materialistic person, they seek after peace, peacefulness of ''ātmā'', or self. Take for example that in Western countries the younger generation, coming from very rich family, rich nation, but they have given up the standard of living as it is observed by their fathers or grandfathers. They do not like it. Because they are not satisfied, ''yayātmā suprasīdati'', there is no satisfaction of ''ātmā''. Therefore they have given up.

''Bhoga'' and ''tyāga. Bhoga'' means enjoyment, and ''tyāga'' means renunciation. So actually, in this world, some people are very much busy in the matter of ''bhoga'', enjoying—the ''karmīs''. And some people are very much engaged in the business of ''tyāga'', renouncement. These two kinds of activities are going on.

One is very, very busy for acquiring things for enjoy . . . sense enjoyment, and when he's dissatisfied, he cannot fully enjoy, neither he's satisfied, he says, ''brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā'': "This world is false. There is no need of this world. The grapes are sour." The same story: the jackal and the grapes. A jackal wanted to eat the grapes, and it jumped many times, but could not approach the grapes. So at last he satisfied himself that "There is no need of the grapes. It is sour."

So this ''brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā'' is like that. When one is fed up or tired of this world, he cannot enjoy it due to age or other circumstances, at that time he says, ''jagan mithyā.'' Why ''jagan mithyā''? If God is truth, then creation of God is also truth. Why it should be ''mithyā''? But because he has no knowledge, sufficient knowledge of the Vedic instruction, ''īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam, pūrṇam idam, pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate'' ([[Vanisource:ISO 1|ISO 1]]), he does not know that creation of God is complete.
