Those of this world merge with this world. Those not of this world, who are from a higher realm, do not merge with this world. And if they do mix, they believe themselves to be gunātit and observe their spiritual disciplines and mix. And here, when they see everything as beyond the gunas, what enthusiasm remains? Therefore, prohibit (worldly enjoyments) through spiritual knowledge and detachment. And those who enjoy passion, greed, ego, taste beyond the limits prescribed are possessed by a brahmarākshas.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. A Brahmin, who despite his learning, becomes a ghost.
