Śrīla Prabhupāda tirelessly explains that this ignorance is the root cause of all suffering, leading the eternal soul to engage in temporary, fruitless activities centered on the demands of the flesh rather than the needs of the spirit.

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that human beings are not meant to remain entangled in the cycle of fruitive action, nor are they meant to artificially renounce activity. Rather, the perfection of existence lies in executing all duties—whether social, occupational, or religious—solely for the pleasure of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By cente..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda clarifies that while money is often associated with the illusory energy, its spiritual quality depends entirely on how it is utilized.

While the material world is a place of potential suffering, true misfortune is not merely the lack of material facilities, but the deliberate rejection of spiritual knowledge.

A civilized life is not defined by technological advancement or economic development, but by how strictly a society adheres to the laws of God given in the revealed scriptures.
