The personified Vedas continued: "Mystic yogis who still have contaminated

desires for sense gratification are never successful in their attempt, nor

can they realize the Supersoul within the individual self. As such, the

so-called yogis and jnanis who are simply wasting their time in different

types of sense gratification, either by mental speculation or by exhibition

of limited mystic powers, will never be liberated from conditioned life and

will continue to go through repeated births and deaths. For such persons,

both this life and the next life are sources of tribulation. Such sinful

persons are already suffering tribulation in this life, and because they are

not perfect in self-realization they will be plagued with further

tribulation in the next life. Despite all endeavors to attain perfection,

such yogis, contaminated by desires for sense gratification, will continue

to suffer in this life and the next."
