Visaya vinivartante
niraharasya dehinaha
rasa varjam raso py-asya
parama drstva nivartate ||
Translation :
Though the embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagement by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.
Explanation :
Unless one is transcendentally situated, it is not possible to cease from sense enjoyment. The process of restriction from sense enjoyment by rules and regulations is something like restricting a diseased person from certain types of vegetables. The patient, however neither likes such restrictions not loses his taste for eatables. Similarly, sense restriction by some spiritual processes like "Astanga-Yoga" in the matter of yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, etc is recommended for less intelligent persons who have no better knowledge. But one who has tasted the beauty of the Supreme Sri Krishna, in the course of his advancement in Sri Krishna consciousness, no longer has a taste for dead, material things. Therefore, restrictions are there for the less intelligent neophytes in the spiritual advancement of life, but such restrictions are only good until one actually has a taste for Sri Krishna consciousness. When one is actually Sri Krishna conscious, he automatically loses his taste for pale things.
So friends, I suppose you have got your answer. Enjoy it but at the same time give some time for higher spiritual conscious, it will help you out in the later stages of life.
OM Shanti Shanti Shanti
