Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Lord Kṛṣṇa says: "Those who are captivated by this false enjoyment, bodily, bhoga . . ." Now, our bhoga enjoyment means through this body. But body is my diseased condition. As a diseased man cannot enjoy life . . . how it is possible? Take, for example, a man who is suffering from jaundice. It is practical. You can test practically, if a man . . . you find out a man who is suffering from jaundice. You give a bit of sugar candy and ask him to taste. He will say: "It is bitter." He will say: "It is bitter." He won't taste its sweetness.

Because his condition is diseased, therefore, he actually cannot enjoy the sweetness of sugar candy. But when he is cured, a man in healthy state, if you give him sugar candy, oh, he will say, he will appreciate, "Oh, it is very sweet, very nice." The same sugar candy, according to our condition of life, is tasted differently. So unless we cure from this disease of wrong conception of life, we cannot have any taste. Anything, anything, we cannot taste, have any taste for it. The bitter taste. We will have bitter taste.

Now, this world, this world . . . even Mahatma Gandhi . . . I have read his life. The day when he was to be killed, he did not know in the morning that he was going to be killed in the evening. But as a big man, he was receiving so many letters, so many congratulation, so many condemnation. You do not know. At the end of Gandhi's later part of life he was so disgusted with his life that he always wanted . . . he spoke to his secretaries, associates, that "If death would come to me, I would be satisfied." Such a big man, such a great man.
