Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

No. Miseries are not eternal. You can end your miseries. But if you want to end miseries materially, that is temporary. If you end your miseries spiritually, that is permanent.
Lecture on BG 4.11-12 -- New York, July 28, 1966:

Guest (2): I mean if it passes on. It's just a dim thought. That's all.

Prabhupāda: Your question is whether miseries are eternal or not.

Guest (2): Eternal thoughts (force?).

Prabhupāda: No. Miseries are not eternal. You can end your miseries. But if you want to end miseries materially, that is temporary. If you end your miseries spiritually, that is permanent. Just like in this world we are also trying to end our miseries. Suppose I am distressed or I am diseased. I go to hospital to end my misery. But that misery are not permanent, er, that end of misery is not permanent, temporary. I can get again disease. So long I have got this material body, that miseries can be repeated. That disease can be repeated. But if you get your spiritual body, then there is no more question of miseries. Yes?
