"material existence means"

Srimad-Bhagavatam

SB Canto 1

Material existence means to be absorbed in the material objective, which is simply illusory.

SB 1.13.53, Purport: Material existence means to be absorbed in the material objective, which is simply illusory. House, country, family, society, children, property, and business are some of the material coverings of the spirit, ātmā, and the yoga system helps one to become free from all these illusory thoughts and gradually turn towards the Absolute Person, Paramātmā. By material association and education, we learn simply to concentrate on flimsy things, but yoga is the process of forgetting them altogether.
