Translation

O best of the Bhāratas, now please hear from Me about the three kinds of happiness by which the conditioned soul enjoys, and by which he sometimes comes to the end of all distress.

O du bedste af Bhārataer, hør nu fra Mig om de tre former for lykke, hvorigennem den betingede sjæl nyder, og hvorigennem han somme tider kommer til enden på al lidelse.

Purport

A conditioned soul tries to enjoy material happiness again and again. Thus he chews the chewed. But sometimes, in the course of such enjoyment, he becomes relieved from material entanglement by association with a great soul. In other words, a conditioned soul is always engaged in some type of sense gratification, but when he understands by good association that it is only a repetition of the same thing, and he is awakened to his real Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he is sometimes relieved from such repetitive so-called happiness.

FORKLARING: En betinget sjæl prøver igen og igen at nyde materiel lykke. På den måde tygger han det allerede tyggede. Men af og til sker det under en sådan nydelse, at han bliver frigjort fra den materielle forvikling ved at komme i forbindelse med en stor sjæl. Den betingede sjæl er med andre ord altid optaget af en eller anden form for sansetilfredsstillelse, men når han gennem godt selskab forstår, at det er intet andet end det samme om og om igen, og således vækkes til sin virkelige Kṛṣṇa-bevidsthed, bliver han sommetider udfriet fra en sådan monoton såkaldt lykke.
