Only one type of enjoyment – lecture by madhupandit

The happiness that we are experiencing in the material world is not real happiness. If one asks a tree, “Are you feeling happy?” the tree, if it could, might say,“Yes, I am happy, standing here all year. I’m enjoying the wind and snowfall very much, etc.” This may be enjoyed by the tree, but for the human being it is a very low standard of enjoyment.
There are different kinds and grades of living entities, and their conceptions and perceptions of happiness are also of all different types and grades. Although one animal may see that another animal is being slaughtered, he will go right on chewing grass, for he has no knowledge to understand that he may be next. He is thinking that he is happy, but at the next moment he may be slaughtered.
In this way there are different degrees of happiness. Yet of all of them, what is the highest happiness? Sri Krishna tells Arjuna:
sukham atyantikam yat tad
buddhi-grahyam atindriyam
vetti yatra na caivayam
sthitas calati tattvatah“In that joyous state (samadhi), one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness and enjoys himself through transcendental senses. Established thus, one never departs from the truth.” (Bg. 6.21)

we are lucky to have the real Iskcon devotees like HG Madhu Pandit prabhu who gives us a very deep philosophical understanding of SRILA PRABHUPADA’s teachings.
All of us need to get the good spiritual quality of HG Madhu Pandit prabhu without being puffed up but helping each other to become free from maya (material illusion).
As HG Madhu Pandit prabhu explains there is just one real enjoyment. I wish to become a pure devotee as soon as possible and go on with the daily sadhana of bhakti-yoga more sincerely.
Illusory material attraction diminishes when we see that people of this kali-yuga are not able even to enjoy the duplicate of real enjoyment like imitation gold as HG Madhu Pandit mentions in video above.
Thank you very much, I get more inspiration to follow the rules and regulations when hearing HG Madhu Pandit prabhu the GBC of the real Iskcon Vaikuntha embassy.
