Can a multi-millionaireenjoy palatable, rich dishes if he suffers from pain in the stomach?Hatred comes towards persons who stand in the way ofenjoyment. Too much enjoyment brings diseases.

Purusha is ever free and ful! of bliss. When conjunctiontakes place between the Purusha and mind (Buddhi), itappears to feel pleasure and pain through Adhyasa or reflection.By this conjunction through ignorance, the body, mind,lndriyas and Buddhi are mistaken for the real Purusha.
