Sense Gratification Delayed is Sense Gratification Denied | HG Vaisesika Dasa | ISV | 20 Jul 2025

There's an old saying, and it came from (I looked it up) William Gladstone from the 1600s. He said that "Justice delayed is justice denied." Have you ever heard that, any law students in here, or anybody who watches the news? "Justice delayed is justice denied" means when you don't mete out justice when it's due and you delay it, then generally it never happens. In the same way, you can apply this to the itches of the senses by saying, "Sense gratification delayed is sense gratification denied." This comes up in the pastime of Haridāsa Ṭhākura, who was visited by somebody in the middle of the night who wanted to interrupt his chanting. And he told that person, "Fine, but wait later." He didn't say no; he just said, "Just sit down, and later we'll talk about it." And "later" never came. In fact, that person became a devotee and didn't want to distract him anymore—minus all the details. So, rather than saying "absolutely no, never again" and then bouncing back into the same thing one was doing before, one can apply this principle of neglect. Prabhupāda mentions it in a purport; we could call it "tender, loving neglect"—TLN, not TLC. So, when those distractions come into one's mind, urges to do something foolish that becomes entangling, then one can say, "Later," delay. Does anybody here know how to procrastinate? Well, there's a university major you can take; it's called applied procrastination, and you can learn it from the Bhagavad Gītā and from this lesson today: when the inferior objects present themselves, if you have the power to procrastinate at that point, that's a good thing. Just say, "Fine, I acknowledge you, but I can't engage with you right now—later," and just keep putting it off. You know how to do that, right? I'm expert at it. So you just have to find the right thing to neglect and keep neglecting it while you steal time to do your bhajan and keep doing it, because there will come a point when the scales will tip in favor of the transcendental sound, then you move to the safe side in devotional service. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-step... ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook:   / fanthespark   Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
