那种快乐被称为罗阇性之乐,它源于感官与对象的接触,开始时如甘露,结果却似毒药。
That joy is referred to as born of rajas which, arising from the contact of the organs and (their) objects, is like nectar in the beginning, but like poison at the end.
感官之乐总是伴随着痛苦、恐惧和罪恶。微小的感官之乐往往掺杂着巨大的痛苦。沉溺于感官享乐的人,也必将同时体验到痛苦。他害怕失去那些带给他快乐的事物,并对它们产生执着。执着是死亡,它一次又一次地将他带回这个充满死亡的世界。恐惧和执着与感官之乐并存。他必须付出巨大努力去赚钱,才能获得这些享乐之物。在努力过程中,他犯下许多罪恶,最终将在地狱中受苦。来世的生命品质将非常低下。他为了金钱而撒谎、欺骗他人。感官也会因沉溺于享乐而失去活力。他失去力量、精力、财富和能量。他的智力变得迟钝、虚弱、不纯、混浊和扭曲。他失去金钱和正确的理解力。
Sensual pleasure is mixed with pain? fear and sin. A small grain of sensual pleasure is mixed with a mountain of pain. He who indulges in sensual pleasures will have to experience pain also? side by side. He is afraid of losing the objects that give him pleasure. He is attached to them. Attachment is death. It brings him again and again to this world of death. Fear and attachment coexist with sensual pleasure. He has to exert a lot to get money. He can obtain the objects through money. During exertion he commits many sinful acts and he will have to suffer in hell. The next birth will be of a very low nature. He tells lies and cheats people to obtain money. The senses also lose their vigour through indulgence in sensual pleasure. He loses his strength? vigour? wealth and energy. His intellect becomes dull? weak? impure? turbid and perverted. He loses his money and proper understanding. (Cf.V.22)
