The Vedas have a lot to say on this topic , material pleasure is pleasure utalising bodily sences and the mental pleasures of contemplations , i.e. acceptance or rejection within the mind of future sensual experiences. The intellectual pleasure is also of many forms, including a philosophical speculative process that also brings a degree of pleasure , the craving for knowledge, and the pride of being right about everything . Intelligence can also be creative in many ways and can express ideas or philosophy . It’s always rewarding to get other people to have deeper and new insights. A sense of control or understanding can be broadly described as material pleasure. Such expressions within the material world have a beginning, a middle, and an end , although deeper learning and impressions are carried to our next life, the Vedas indicate.
Spiritual pleasure however is based on a state of deeper consciousness , the direct consciousness of the doul , its an uncovering process , pure knowledge and natural bliss are inherently the constitution of life in real terms. That is a state beyond the sensual , mental, and intellectual platforms. These are described in spiritual categories as the pleasure of Brahman consciousness , the pleasure of Paramātma consciousness, and the pleasure of Bhagavan consciousness .
Each of the above categories need a thorough explanation but in brief , we can say understanding and experience of God’s impersonal spiritual energies , or His localised energies or His personal form the cause of all causes and the energetic source of all spiritual realms and energies.
In the Vedas the living beings are described as pleasure seeking , this is so because they originate from God who is ever expanding in His pleasure and is the master at creating it and enjoying.
God was one , it is said , He became two known as Radha Krishna , and from them both other unlimited expansions are manifest .
Srimati Radharani is the personification of Krishna’s pleasure seeking potency , and this Supreme Goddess of Fortune Radharani is the most expert in all the known and unknown arts . The 64 spiritual excellences are spontaneously exuding from Her and Her associates , unlimited and ever new playfulness and pleasures , enjoyed with spiritual senses in a spiritual forms . Krishna is forever attracted to these spiritually exquisite trancendental exhibitions of pleasures that create direct euphoric emotional experiences. The spiritual senses and emotions are non different to the soul , everything is absolute. Radharani is equally forever attracted to the super excellence of Krishna’s form qualities and pastimes. Consciousness has never had a beginning, a middle or an end , so Krishna consciousness is a realm without atoms elements compounds and ethereal minds and thus pleasure increasingly occurs with no end in site .
