Minimize your sense gratification. Be satisfied whatever is offered by nature or by God. We don't . . . not complete abstinence, but regulate it, and the balance time utilize for self-realization. Then your perfection will be there by which you'll live eternally, you will enjoy eternally and your knowledge will be unlimited. So Ṛṣabhadeva instructed in this way. It is very instructive chapter, if you continue to understand this instruction of Ṛṣabhadeva. Now we have only read one verse. The next verse is that mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukteḥ (SB 5.5.2).

You are after happiness. Your sense gratification means you are after happiness, but this happiness is temporary. Any material happiness, it has no continuity. It has got limit. But if you want . . . but my desire is to have unlimited happiness, unlimited life, unlimited knowledge. If you want that, so try this life, this human form of life. Don't waste it simply after sense gratification, but practice austerity.

Minimize your sense gratification. Be satisfied whatever is offered by nature or by God. We don't . . . not complete abstinence, but regulate it, and the balance time utilize for self-realization. Then your perfection will be there by which you'll live eternally, you will enjoy eternally and your knowledge will be unlimited.

So Ṛṣabhadeva instructed in this way. It is very instructive chapter, if you continue to understand this instruction of Ṛṣabhadeva. Now we have only read one verse. The next verse is that mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukteḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.2|SB 5.5.2]]). Mahat-sevā. If you want this platform of self-realization, or spiritual life, then your engagement should be mahat-sevā, to serve a great soul, to associate with great soul. Then that will be possible. We shall discuss this next śloka, mahat-sevā. Who is mahat, who is great soul, how to serve, everything we shall discuss next meeting.
