so repetition leads to attraction it is said but then repetition also leads to satiation we get satiated by something that if we eat the same sweet again and again enough now, we take one sweet second sweet, third sweet after that they offer ten sweet to us you also take some it’s not that we are concerned about them it’s just that we don’t want now but we put it off as you also take some so the thing is that even if the satiation is there, it is temporary that means the person eats some sweets enough, but after one day after two days again the desire for the sweets comes back so even that if simply repeated indulgence were to lead to satiation and that is going to lead to detachment it doesn’t work like that temporarily there is enough but again afterwards we want it so that principle, whenever we do an activity repeatedly actually the attachment to it increases it’s like say, if a person is staying here, and their office is here and in between there is an alcoholic bar and they drink alcohol once and every time they pass by that bar, they think they should go and drink and if that person drinks once, twice thrice, four times, five times at that time, after drinking they say enough now but next time they pass by, again the desire will come they keep drinking again and again the next time, as soon as they get out of the office, out of the house only they think, I have to go to the bar sometimes some people are so attached that as soon as they wake up the first thing they think about is alcohol so what has happened is, by repeated indulgence, their desire is becoming stronger and stronger so same way although temporarily, after indulgence there might be some satiation but it is not detachment repetition actually increases the attraction increases the attachment and same way, with the practice of Krishna Bhakti sometimes if there is a long lecture, enough now I want this to end but if you develop a taste for Krishna Bhakti I want to hear more at that time, our physical and mental capacity may limit us the soul’s attraction towards Krishna is long lasting but the physical and mental capacity will limit us, we feel exhausted but then after sometime, again we feel attraction towards Krishna so over a period of time, this attraction towards Krishna will increase more and more Thank you.
