why are they engaged?
|
Imported quote 15529 The word Hetu is used as the reason, or the cause. People are engaged generally in transcendental activities for three causes: namely, some of them want material happiness, some of them want mystic perfection, and some of them want liberation from this material bondage. So far as material enjoyment is concerned, there are varieties; nobody can ennumerate how many kinds of material enjoyments there are. So far as perfections in mystic powers are concerned, there are eighteen. So far as kinds of liberation from the material bondage are concerned, there are five. The state of being where all these different kinds of enjoyment are conspicuous by their absence is called Ahaituki. The qualification Ahaituki is especially mentioned because by Ahaituki service of the Lord one can achieve the favor of the Lord.
