Enjoyment is your birthright, because you are spirit soul. Spirit soul. The constitution of the spirit soul is in three division: enjoyment, eternity and knowledge.

bhogaiśvarya-prasaktānām
tayāpahṛta-cetasām

samādhau na vidhīyate
(BG 2.44)

Bhoga. Bhoga means enjoyment, enjoyment. Enjoyment of life. Everyone wants enjoyment. Who does not want enjoyment? But is that? . . . (indistinct) . . . no. Enjoyment, why transient. Because pure life, pure constitution . . . made of enjoyment. So demands for enjoyment . . . (indistinct) . . . naturally. It is not unnatural. But the process of enjoyment is . . . (indistinct) . . . therefore, we do not get complete satisfaction by material enjoyment. Enjoyment is your birthright, because you are spirit soul. Spirit soul.

The constitution of the spirit soul is in three division: enjoyment, eternity and knowledge.

(break) Spirit soul is full of knowledge, full of happiness, and unending, not that this knowledge . . . now, suppose we are accumulating so many knowledge. Somebody is chemist, somebody is politician, somebody is metaphysist, somebody is artist, somebody is something. Everyone knows something of everything and everything of something. That is knowledge. But this knowledge, whatever knowledge you acquire, as soon as you leave this body whole knowledge is void. Just imagine in your previous life you had been a great man of knowledge, but in this life, since your childhood, you had to go to school, college, and acquire knowledge. The knowledge which you had in your previous life is now forgotten.

Therefore we are seeking eternal knowledge, but that eternity of knowledge is not possible with this temporary body. We have to understand that thing. Bhogaiśvarya. We are enjoying, we want to enjoy life, but the instrument of enjoyment is not proper. We are thinking of enjoying through this body. But bodily enjoyment is not my enjoyment. It is artificial. So if you want to stick up to this artificial enjoyment of life, then you cannot enjoy or you cannot be elevated to your real constitutional position of eternal enjoyment.
