Though I have spent a full one thousand years enjoying, my desire to enjoy such pleasure increases daily.

viṣayān sevato 'sakṛt

tathāpi cānusavanaṁ

tṛṣṇā teṣūpajāyate

Though I have spent a full one thousand years enjoying, my desire to enjoy such pleasure increases daily.

I am an example showing that even time does not rid a person of attachment to enjoyment.

|| 9.19.19 ||

tasmād etām ahaṁ tyaktvā

brahmaṇy adhyāya mānasam

nirdvandvo nirahaṅkāraś

cariṣyāmi mṛgaiḥ saha

Therefore, giving up all these desires and fixing my mind on the Lord, and being free from dualities and false identity, I shall wander in the forest with the animals.

“Then how should one become relieved of desire?” One should concentrate the mind on the form and qualities of the Lord. One cannot meditate on something without form. Brahman in this case must mean Brahman with form. Later it is said that Yayāti achieved the Lord. Till this time I have been your play animal, dancing in the yard of our house. Now, I will dance with the kṛṣṇa-sāra deer, absorbed in the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa.

|| 9.19.20 ||

dṛṣṭaṁ śrutam asad buddhvā

nānudhyāyen na sandiśet

saṁsṛtiṁ cātma-nāśaṁ ca

tatra vidvān sa ātma-dṛk

Seeing the Supreme Lord, and thus having understood the temporary nature of material enjoyment either seen or heard, a person gives up that enjoyment and does not speak about it. He knows that meditating on enjoyment produces rebirth and destruction of spiritual consciousness.

It is possible to give up thinking of material enjoyment by contemplating the truth when one achieves maturity in meditation on the Supreme Lord. He who sees the Lord by meditation (ātmā-dṛk), thus understanding the tastelessness of material happiness, either seen or heard, since it is improper, does not constantly meditate on those objects (anudhyāyet), does not enjoy those objects. He knows (vidvān) that meditating on material objects (tatra) will produce saṁsāra and destruction spiritual consciousness.
