Spiritual Platform Means No More Anxiety - Prabhupada 1016

700222 - Ten Offenses Lecture - Los Angeles

We should always remember that we are trying to be elevated to the spiritual platform, so spiritual platform means no more anxiety for sense gratification. That is spiritual platform. Material platform means everyone is hankering after sense gratification. All the people, they’re working day . . . hard, day and night very hard, the aim is sex at night. That's all. Sense gratification. Karmīs, they cannot work if they have no facility for sex. So . . . but these devotees of Kṛṣṇa, their aim is how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. That is the difference. This is the difference between spiritual life and material life. Material life means everyone is trying to . . . how to satisfy his sex. And spiritual life means he is also trying the same way, but his aim is how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa.
