TRANSLATION

Lord Brahmi continued: My dear Priyavrata, seek shelter inside
the opening in the lotus of the feet of the Lord, whose navel is also
like a lotus. Thus conquer the six sense organs [the mind and
knowledge-acquiring senses]. Accept material enjoyment because
the Lord, extraordinarily, has ordered you to do this. You will thus
always be liberated from material association and be able to carry
out the Lord’s orders in your constitutional position.

PURPORT

There are three kinds of men within this material world. Those who
are trying to enjoy the senses to the utmost are called karmis, above them
are the jridnis, who try to conquer the urges of the senses, and above
them are the yogis, who have already conquered the senses. None of
them, however, are situated in a transcendental position. Only devotees.
who belong to none of the above-mentioned groups, are transcendental.
As explained in Bhagavad-gita (14.26):

mam ca yo vyabhicadrena
bhakti-yogena sevate
sa gundan samatityaitan
brahma-bhiydaya kalpate
