Single king - Hiranyakashipu became master of all three worlds, acquired seat of Indra, controlled rain, wind, sun, and everything. All demigods were saluting him, but still he was not happy. Because it is said that, person with uncontrolled senses cannot be happy. As long as one is afflicted by greed, selfish mentality and material desires one cannot be happy.
Sense gratification is like an itching sensation which can never be fully satisfied. Similarly senses practically drive a person to insanity and craziness. One will never be able to feed the senses sufficiently. So we have to go to root cause and find out, “Why our senses are like bottomless well? Where are these urges coming from?”
Vedic scriptures say that this material body is like a blanket on the soul. These senses are not real, these are superficially placed over the real or spiritual senses. In constitutional reality, we have spiritual ears, eyes, tongue, and spiritual body also, but material body is like covering upon the soul.
