We are always unhappy due to these three kinds of miseries inflicted by the laws of nature, but still, we think that we are very nice. But actually we are duḥkhitātmā, we are always sorry.

The other class of misery is due to this body and mind. Sometimes the body is sick; we don't feel very nice. Sometimes the mind is disturbed. That is also . . . it may be due to other friend or other relative; so mind is not in order. So this is called adhyātmika. So adhibhautika, adhyātmika. And another disturbance created by adhidaivaika. Daiva means on which we have no control, just like earthquake, flood, or similarly nature's disturbance, on which we have no control.

So here it is said, tāpa-traya-duḥkhitātmā. Duḥkhi. That is our ignorance. We are always unhappy due to these three kinds of miseries inflicted by the laws of nature, but still, we think that we are very nice. But actually we are duḥkhitātmā, we are always sorry. Nirvidyate na kuṭumba-rāmaḥ. But there is no satiation, because the only solace is that he is within the so-called friendship, love and society. That's all. Kuṭumba-rāmaḥ.

vitteṣu nityābhiniviṣṭa-cetā
vidvāṁś ca doṣaṁ para-vitta-hartuḥ

And being too much attached to money matters, even learned persons, even very, I mean to say, advanced intellectually, they also try to steal others' money. Para-vitta. Although it is a fault. Although it is fault. Vitteṣu nityābhiniviṣṭa-cetā. Nitya, perpetually too much attached to money. Nityābhiniviṣṭa. Niviṣṭa means profoundly attached. Profoundly attached to money. Vidvāṁś ca doṣaṁ para-vitta-hartuḥ. Although to take other money or to steal others' money is a fault . . . it is a fault not only to the law of the state, but it is a fault to the law of the Supreme God also.
