	The drive for sense gratification is identified by Śrīla Prabhupāda as the primary cause of all sinful activities. When a human being becomes obsessed with satisfying their senses, they enter a state of madness, or ''pramattaḥ'', losing the discretion to distinguish between right and wrong. This leads to the commission of ''vikarma'', or forbidden acts, ranging from political corruption and theft to animal slaughter and illicit sex. Śrīla Prabhupāda strictly defines any activity performed for self-interest—rather than as a sacrifice for the Supreme—as sinful, warning that such actions inevitably bind the soul to a cycle of suffering and repeated birth in material bodies.
