एषा माया भगवतः सर्गस्थित्यन्तकारिणी । त्रिवर्णा वर्णितास्माभिः किं भूयः श्रोतुमिच्छसि ।। ११-३-१६ ।।

sanskrit

I have now described māyā, the illusory energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This illusory potency, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is empowered by the Lord for the creation, maintenance and annihilation of the material universe. Now, what more do you wish to hear? ।। 11-3-16 ।।

sanskrit

Śrī Prabuddha said: Accepting the roles of male and female in human society, the conditioned souls unite in sexual relationships. Thus they constantly make material endeavors to eliminate their unhappiness and unlimitedly increase their pleasure. But one should see that they inevitably achieve exactly the opposite result. In other words, their happiness inevitably vanishes, and as they grow older their material discomfort increases. ।। 11-3-18 ।।

sanskrit

Wealth is a perpetual source of distress, it is most difficult to acquire, and it is virtual death for the soul. What satisfaction does one actually gain from his wealth? Similarly, how can one gain ultimate or permanent happiness from one’s so-called home, children, relatives and domestic animals, which are all maintained by one’s hard-earned money? ।। 10-3-19 ।।

एवं लोकं परं विद्यान्नश्वरं कर्मनिर्मितम् । सतुल्यातिशयध्वंसं यथा मण्डलवर्तिनाम् ।। ११-३-२० ।।

sanskrit

One cannot find permanent happiness even on the heavenly planets, which one can attain in the next life by ritualistic ceremonies and sacrifices. Even in material heaven the living entity is disturbed by rivalry with his equals and envy of those superior to him. And since one’s residence in heaven is finished with the exhaustion of pious fruitive activities, the denizens of heaven are afflicted by fear, anticipating the destruction of their heavenly life. Thus they resemble kings who, though enviously admired by ordinary citizens, are constantly harassed by enemy kings and who therefore never attain actual happiness. ।। 11-3-20 ।।
