It is said, sukham aindriyakam: "Happiness derived from the sources which is not related with Kṛṣṇa. . ." That is sukham aindriyakam. Actually you do that. When we enjoy sense pleasure, that is not for Kṛṣṇa. That is material sense perception. So Prahlāda Mahārāja says that this kind of pleasure, happiness. . . Sukham aindriyakaṁ daityā. He is particularly addressing his friend daityā, because they are sons of daityā, demons.

So bhakti begins when you are desireless. Gato. . . The Yamunacārya's śloka, niśeṣa-mano-rathāntaram. Kadāham aikantika-nitya-kiṅkaraḥ praharṣayiṣyāmi sanātha jivitaṁ bhavantam eva caran nirantaram (Stotra-ratna 43). This is devotee, devotion. He's praying, Yamunacārya's praying to the Lord, bhavantam: "You only." Caran nirantaram. "Simply thinking of You, acting for You," caran, ācāran, "practicing such activities which will give me the opportunity of thinking Kṛṣṇa." That is wanted. Because Kṛṣṇa says, man-manā bhava mad-bhakto (BG 18.65), Kṛṣṇa says, "This is the process," so we have to mold our life in such a way that we get the opportunity of thinking of Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Even we are eating, we can remember Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa baḍa dayā-maya, karibāre jihvā jaya, svaprasāda-anna dilā bhāi. So we want. While sleeping, if we think of Kṛṣṇa, it may be that we may dream of Kṛṣṇa also. That is possible. Eating, sleeping, mating. . . Even in sex if we can remember Kṛṣṇa. . . How? That is. . . Kṛṣṇa says, dharmāviruddha-kāmo 'smi (BG 7.11). Sex life which is given permission in the śāstra, that is Kṛṣṇa. The śāstra gives you permission for sex life only for begetting nice children. Not for enjoyment. That is illicit sex. If you make love, "phish, phish, phish," and have sex life, that is illicit sex. So that dharmāviruddha. So we can adjust our material activities: eating, sleeping, mating and fearing. It can be adjusted in relationship with Kṛṣṇa, provided we take direction from Kṛṣṇa. Even eating, sleeping, mating can be utilized as Kṛṣṇa consciousness if you follow the rules and regulation. There is facility. And as soon as you deviate, then you become subject to the control of māyā. Yajñārthe karmano 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhana (BG 3.9). If you simply act for satisfying Kṛṣṇa, then you are all right. And as soon as you do it for your own sense gratification, karma-bandhana, you become bound up by the laws of karma. We should be very careful therefore.

Therefore here it is said, sukham aindriyakam: "Happiness derived from the sources which is not related with Kṛṣṇa. . ." That is sukham aindriyakam. Actually you do that. When we enjoy sense pleasure, that is not for Kṛṣṇa. That is material sense perception. So Prahlāda Mahārāja says that this kind of pleasure, happiness. . . Sukham aindriyakaṁ daityā. He is particularly addressing his friend daityā, because they are sons of daityā, demons. Just like at the present moment ninety-nine percent of the population, they are daityās, demons. What is the difference between a demon and a demigod? Daityā means the sons of the Diti. So daitya. And deva, deva means devotees, or those who accept the supremacy of the Lord. They are called deva. Viṣṇu-bhakto bhaved daiva āsuras tad-viparyayaḥ (BG 16.6). Anyone who is viṣṇu-bhakta, accepting God as the supreme controller, they are called demigods. And āsuras tad-viparyayaḥ, and just the opposite number. . . What is that opposite number? "What is God? Why shall I accept God? God is dead. There is no God. God is impersonal." They are daityās, or demons.
