Knowledge and Illusion

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!

So that enjoyment can take place, illusion is necessary. For one in knowledge of the nature and laws of the Absolute Truth, mundane pleasures and sense gratification loose their meaning. That is why common men are unwilling to accept the sublime spiritual truths about God, for that endangers the unrestricted and irresponsible run of their gross and subtle sense gratification. Thus they are impelled to become the servant of their senses, instead of becoming the servant of God. Yes indeed, there are finally only these two possibilities: either one falls under illusion and indulges in sense gratification or one becomes enlightened with divine knowledge, surrenders to the Supreme Lord and thus enjoys higher eternal spiritual happiness.

Yours, Matus
