The entire content of this mail is from Swami Adidevananda's translation of Ramanuja's Gita Bhashyam, published by Ramakrishna Mission.
The knowledge, having the self for its subject,(the Jiva) whose nature is knowledge, is enveloped by this constant enemy in the shape of desire. This brings about attachment for sense-objects. This desire is difficult to satisfy since it has for its object things unworthy of attainment and is insatiable, ie., never attains satisfaction.

1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 3 -Karma Yaoga - Sloka 39
Avrutam gyanam etena gyaninah nitya vairina I
Kama rupena kaunteya dushpurena analena cha II sloka 39
आवृतं ज्ञानं एतेन ज्ञानिनः नित्य वैरिण ।
काम रूपेण कौन्तेय दुष्पूरेण अनलेन च ।। श्लोक ३९
The knowledge of the intelligent self is enveloped by this constant enemy O Arjuna, which is of the nature of desire, and which is difficult to gratify and is insatiable.
