sensual pleasures, considering them as not real or lasting, and
have not been entangled in the chain of these sensual plrasures
in which many people sink to perdition."

Nachiketa ! There is a vast difference between these
two,
viz.,
the
Shreya marg
(path of renunciation and salvation)

preya marg
(path of wordly pleasures); in fact these two

altogether; they are known as knowledge and ignorance respec-
tively. You have opted for right knowledge and I find that
many allurements (of worldly pleasures) have not attracted you
at all.
