Pleasure is mixed with pain, sin and fear.Enjoyment increases the Trishna or thirsting for objects.Trishna gives pain. The mind becomes more restless bytastingsensual pleasure. There is fear of loss of happiness. Sensualpleasure is imaginary. lt is mentalcreation. !t is Bhranti-Sukha.It is no happiness at all. For a man of discrimination the happinessthat is derived from Self-realisation throughAsamprajnata Samadhi only is the everlasting, real bliss. Thevery experience of pleasure creates a desire for more. Desiresare endless. When the desires are not gratified, there is uneasiness,disappointment and misery. The anxietythat is caused intaking care of the objects of pleasure brings great pain. The impressionthat is left in the mind of pleasure creates desiresthrough memory of pleasure and brings pain. Another causefor pain is the naturalopposition which exists between the individualactions of the three qualities Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.Rajas bringstossing of mind and distraction. Tamas causes delusion,carelessness, laziness, etc. Therefore, everythingbrings pain for the discriminating. Enjoyment cannot bring satisfactionof desires. Just as ghee when poured over fire aggravatesit, so also enjoyment augments the desires. Kamagniincreases. Pain comes if the desired object is not attained.
