The Source of Misery

Krishna says:

An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery,
which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kunti,
such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does
not delight in them. (Bg. 5.22)

Purport by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Material sense pleasures are due to the contact of the material
senses, which are all temporary because the body itself is temporary.
A liberated soul is not interested in anything which is temporary.
Knowing well the joys of transcendental pleasures, how can a liberated
soul agree to enjoy false pleasure? In the Padma Purana it is said:

"The mystics derive unlimited transcendental pleasures from the
Absolute Truth, and therefore the Supreme Absolute Truth, the
Personality of Godhead, is also known as Rama."

In the Srimad-Bhgavatam also (5.5.1) it is said:

"My dear sons, there is no reason to labor very hard for sense
pleasure while in this human form of life; such pleasures are
available to the stool-eaters [hogs]. Rather, you should undergo
penances in this life by which your existence will be purified, and as
a result you will be able to enjoy unlimited transcendental bliss."

Therefore, those who are true yogIs or learned transcendentalists are
not attracted by sense pleasures, which are the causes of continuous
material existence. The more one is addicted to material pleasures,
the more he is entrapped by material miseries.

Feel free to ignore me. But you don't. You have to moan and whine
about the truth. It's like a dog barking at a stranger it's not
familiar with. Similarly atheists bark at anything that is not in
accordance with the garbage they grew up with in the Coca-culture.

Krishna says:

One whose happiness is within, who is active and rejoices within, and
whose aim is inward is actually the perfect mystic. He is liberated in
the Supreme, and ultimately he attains the Supreme. (Bg. 5.24)

It is. To write about the Absolute Truth gives an inner pleasure in
the mind, that comes from satisfying Krishna.

Thank you. But as you can see, I know reality. I have a definition of
reality and illusion, you don't.

Krishna says:

Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the
nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the
eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by
studying the nature of both. (Bg. 2.16)

Wrong. Only atheists think that death is an escape from misery. That's

As you can see from my history here I don't mind at all discussing and
defending my point of view. But I am not wasting time on brain-dead
commentaries, moaning and whining, bickering and retard denials.

Krishba says:

Even if you are considered to be the most sinful of all sinners, when
you are situated in the boat of transcendental knowledge you will be
able to cross over the ocean of miseries. (Bg. 4.36)

As a blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire
of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities. (Bg.
4.37)

It requires rational, thoughtful people to have a decent conversation.
That excludes you. You are exceptionally moronic and dense.

Krishna says:

In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental
knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And
one who has become accomplished in the practice of devotional service
enjoys this knowledge within himself in due course of time. (Bg. 4.38)

A consistent exponent of this guy's belief would check out, off
