Devotees often wonder how long we will have to tolerate the pushings of the mind and senses. Sometimes, they think maya will finally give up on them and leave them alone, and that one morning we will wake up a liberated soul. This verse informs us, however, that we must continue to tolerate sense attraction until death.

We can remain tolerant by fixing our consciousness on Krsna. The pleasure of Krsna consciousness combined with the conviction that nothing in this world can bring lasting happiness will help us tolerate the pushings of the body and mind.
