Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says, sat-saṅga chāḍi' kainu asate vilāsa: "I have given up sat-saṅga, association wherein I can learn about spiritual advancement of life. Asata vilas: I am engaged enjoying this asat, this body." Body means the senses.

"I have become entangled in the action and reaction of fruitive activities." That is the lamentable condition of present civilization. People are becoming entangled. He does not know . . . one does not know that so long the mind will be absorbed in this karma—karma means bodily activities—I'll have to accept another body. And there is risk. I do not know whether I shall be able to accept a body, human body. There are 8,400,000 . . . any body I have to accept as it is given by nature. Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi. I am associating in different qualities, and prakṛti is recording all; automatically it is being recorded what type of body you'll have next life.

Kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya sad-asad-yoni-janmasu ([[Vanisource:BG 13.22 (1972)|BG 13.22]]). Why one is born in high family, rich family? Why other is poor family, or one is born in lower animals, one is born in . . . as demigods? What is that reason? Kāraṇa. The reason is kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya. He has associated with a particular type of the material qualities, therefore he has to accept a particular type of body. Kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya. Therefore we are instructing our students, "Associate with the good qualities." Good qualities.
