Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

First of all we should understand that because I have got this body, it is my diseased condition. Because I am spirit soul. I have developed this particular type of body for this gratification of false material senses. You cannot satisfy your senses, because this is false satisfaction. Because actually this body . . . you are not this body. Therefore even you try to satisfy your senses, that is flickering and that is temporary. But actual sense enjoyment is spiritual sense enjoyment that has no end, that has no limit. Brahma-saukhyaṁ tad anantam (SB 5.5.1), unlimited.

Just like a diseased man, if you give a nice foodstuff, he cannot eat much. After tasting, "All right, that's all." Finished. Because he is diseased. And give to a healthy man, oh, he will take so much. This is a crude example. Similarly, when you are spiritually purified, then actually you can make your sense enjoyment. When you are materially contaminated, that is false, temporary, increasing your material disease.

If you falsely satisfy your senses . . . just like suppose you are a diseased man. If you have got fever, and you want to eat some delicious food, the doctor has forbidden you, "Don't accept such-and-such food." But your senses demand that, "If I could eat such-and-such thing," then you become more diseased.

So first of all we should understand that because I have got this body, it is my diseased condition. Because I am spirit soul. I have developed this particular type of body for this gratification of false material senses. You cannot satisfy your senses, because this is false satisfaction. Because actually this body . . . you are not this body. Therefore even you try to satisfy your senses, that is flickering and that is temporary.
