Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 15
Appendix:- Neither pleasure nor prosperity stays permanently with us - a man naturally has this discretion. But the people, who in spite of studying the scriptures, keeping good company and practising spiritual discipline, don't pay attention to their discretion and don't realize that they are different from pleasures and prosperity, are 'akrtatma' viz., they have not purified their hearts. Such people in the sixteenth verse of the eighteenth chapter have been called 'akrtabuddhi' (of impure or untrained mind) and 'durmati' (of perverse understanding). Though God-realization is not difficult, yet in spite of practising the spiritual discipline, they don't know God because of their attachment and desire for worldly pleasures. The reason is that discretion does not stick in those people who hanker after pleasures and prosperity.
