The material world is bringing it’s frustration. The material energy brings us to the point of frustration because no matter what you have and what you do - still not happy! The old example of the brahmana who was hungry and went begging – and even went begging from a muslim – it meant that he would lose his caste, at that time.
Then the muslim gave him something to eat and … it was not enough, it was only little and then he ate it and then he lamented:
‘lost my caste and still hungry!’
So this is the nature, we lost our caste, gave up our principles , broke all the rules, acted in sinful ways – hiding it from others but we did it simply because of the desire for happiness was so strong…
But inspite of breaking all the rules, doing all these hidden sinful activities, still not happy. Lost our caste and still hungry. That is the case, we are still hungry!
