In the realm of world experience, the aspect of sense pleasures appears to be disapproved by the Vedic commandments. However, the texts do make promises of higher states of enjoyments to aspirants. Though unreal and fleeting, these are concessions of solace to those who feel frustrated in their efforts which, after all, are a walk on the sharp edge of a blade. For the persevering one the truth in all its simplicity and purity is revealed. It is neither in the enjoyment nor in the enjoyer. Giving one's heart to such enticements will bring in its train a series of transmigrating lives. *Source:* Shri Ribhu Gita (2.44), translated by Dr Lingeswara Rao and Dr Anil Sharma
