People in general are not very intelligent, and due to their ignorance they are most attached to the fruitive activities. . .They do not want more than [sense] gratificatory proposals for enjoying life in heaven, where wine and women are available and material opulence is very common. . .As fools are attached to the flowers of poisonous trees without knowing the results of such attractions, unenlightened men are similarly attracted by such heavenly opulence and the sense enjoyment thereof. . .Such persons have no faith in liberation from material bondage, and they are very much attached to the pompous ceremonies of Vedic sacrifices. . .A fixed mind is never possible for persons interested in material sense enjoyments and bewildered by such temporary things. They are more or less condemned by the process of material energy. . .
