The desires of this material world are not very beneficial for the soul.

What we are lacking is love. No one is really liking us in a genuine way. They hate us, they get us, they hit us, they cheat us. This all happens in this world. They keep us in ignorance and, as a result of that, there is suffering. Our dealings in this world, if they are not spiritualized, if they are not Krishna-ized as of yet, they are full of kama, full of lust, full of desires.
This is the challenge: how to acquire knowledge and not to feel we have it. In fact, this knowledge will do its part if it is cultivated properly: knowledge will reward a person with humility.
Something we hear, temporary, the music, this, that, touch, smell give some temporary pleasure, but that is flickering. It disappears like the bubbles. How long do the bubbles last? They don’t last very long.
Materialism cannot satisfy us. It could satisfy our senses, our mind. Some entertainment, some body satisfaction, mind satisfaction – but soul’s satisfaction? Not possible. The soul could be only satisfied when the soul makes Krishna the object.
Those who are supposed to be assisting us and doing us that favor, if we end up offending them in some way, mentally, physically, vocally, there is some offences committed by us, then that offence takes the form of an elephant and enters your garden and could trample all that you had been trying to grow in the garden of your heart.
