This is an age of addiction.People are Addicted to activities that are
not bringing any Good to the self or those around the self. In other
words we find that majority of the people engaging in unpleasant
activities that are self destructive(one example is smoking or
drinking) and in most cases to the masses as well(one example is bomb
blasts).The longer the act of indulging,the tougher the act of
refraining.We are prisoners of our own will.A lusty person cant b
satisfied by anything in the 3 worlds but only frustrated of not
knowing the real wants(Love for Krishna) of the real
self(soul).Because it's a repeated delusion that one undergoes when
satisfying the senses with its Momentary pleasures,the more one
engages in Sense enjoyment,the more frustration one is sure to
experience.When the senses are engaged in Sense pleasure(in contact
with Sense objects),it gets weakened and loses the power to understand
the self and God and the situation is precarious for the soul
travelling in the chariot of material body.
When a man gives up all varieties of Sense desire which arise from
mental concoction and finds satisfaction in the self(as servant of the
Lord) alone,then he's said to be in pure transcendental
consciousness-BG#2.55
Such a person(in Krishna consciousness) is a sage even if he's without
beard.Usually our mind is accustomed to think that sage means one
should have a big beard.And this one fact is also used by miscreants
with ugly beard posing themselves as Swamis or Gurus although they are
no better than Garus(cows).
