When a person gives up, all material desires. Any desire which is not for the satisfaction of Krishna when we directly want to enjoy our senses, that is called Kaam. It just does not mean only the gross sexual desire, but kaama means any kind of desire which is meant for direct enjoyment of senses without pleasing the senses of Krishna.

           So, a person whose consciousness is absorbed in transcendence, who is Krishna, conscious, and he gives up all such desires. Why gives us such desires? Because significant word used here is ‘Sarva and Partha Manhattan’ These material desires are actually the result of mental concoction. This is very important. Our minds suggest us something you please do this and you will become happy. And then we chase those suggestions of my thinking that I will actually become. But we have to understand, just like a small child, child’s mind suggests him so many desires. You get this toy, you’ll be happy. You eat mud, you will be happy, you eat many, many chocolates. You’ll be happy you don’t go to school; you will be happy. But all these are harmful desires.

           And we have seen previously the example of Maut. The mind of a Maut suggests, oh, this fire is so nice. If you have a closer look, you will be very, very happy and the Maut loses its life following the suggestion of mind. Thus, as long as the mind is contaminated by material energy, it is not liberated. One should not listen to the suggestions of mind.

           So just like following the suggestion of mind in case of child and Maut is very, very dangerous, it is dangerous for every conditioned soul. So, the suggestions of mind are because of association the material desires are actually because of association. We are hankering for this pleasure which a person can only attain in samadhi when he is absorbed in loving service of Krishna. Always thinking of Krishna in absence of such pleasure in life, then material desires arise in our life. We can understand it from the love affairs of this world also sometimes people leave all their comforts of rich house and family, the family don’t agree for marriage, and the young couple they live in a very humble circumstance. So why they are able to give up all the comforts of their wealthy families and they are able to live a simple life? Because there is love in life. So, we are all hankering for this loving relationship, but real loving relationship can be established only with God on material platform it does not stay.

           So, when there is no love in life, then automatically you want certain enjoyment and then you develop some mental concoction you develop association. You saw some drunkards and you assume that they are enjoying well, let me also drink wine and I will enjoy. Let me also smoke. I will enjoy from birth we were not having such desire or let me smoke, let me drink. But we had association of smokers and drunkards. So, such desire came into our mind. The students have certain desire. I want to crack this particular examination. Why this is also mental concoction we associated with certain people who were preparing or who had cracked those examinations or who gave value to that examination. And then we thought, oh, if I crack this exam, I will have recognition in society and then I will be happy. And then we started following this thing. It became our desire. So, our desires are the result of association. We are hungry for pleasures.

           Now, in association of such people, one Maut saw another Maut. Oh, let me also chase fire and then lost its life. So, in such association, we develop mentally concocted desires. And such desires do not actually give us happiness. So, a person whose consciousness is absorbed in Krishna, who is in transcendence, he is completely satisfied and thus the material desires do not arise in his heart. Therefore, he is able to able to give up all the material desires because he is very, very satisfied just like a man who has eaten till neck in a feast, he does not have any more desire to eat any of the tastiest dishes. Satisfaction is to be found on the platform of self, platform of soul, so we can find enjoyment on the external platform. There is a design you give sense objects to the senses and then there will be pleasure on the external platform, but a person who is absorbed in transcendence, who is ‘Stheta Pragya’ he takes pleasure internally. The soul, when it is engaged in the service of Super Soul, then there is internal self-pleasure, because such a Yogi is absorbed in the self-pleasure. He does not care, does not feel the need at all to satisfy the senses externally. So, this is first symptom. He will not have any material desires.
