Sense gratification blinds us to the consequences

It is said in Bhagavad-gita that one becomes almost blind and is bereft of all sense when he is infuriated by

the desire for sense gratification. He forgets everything. Kamais tais

tair hrta jnanah. One is bereft of all intelligence when he is too

attracted by sense gratification, and he forgets that he has to suffer

the consequences also.
