Only fools attempt to find permanent comfort, pleasure and happiness in these temporary material bodily vessels that are always in a constant state of decay, decline and maintenance.

Such material vessels the jiva-soul is in, eventually grows old, diseased and end up being food for maggots and worms. 

We are NOT these material bodies we are presently in!

Srila Prabhupada - "Devotees do not need to attend the slaughter houses of modern society called Western mundane universities. The modern education means simply a craftsmanship. If you can prepare a nice motor car, this is craftsmanship. It is the blacksmith’s work. It is not knowledge. Real knowledge is different, therefore the modern education system only creates dogs because they lack real knowledge of the jiva-soul. So modern education has no real knowledge. Real knowledge begins in the Bhagavad-gita." (1976 lecture Melbourne Australia)

We must all get back to basics and back to where we eternally belong.

That place is Goloka Vrindavana or the Vaikuntha planets that never decay and never fade away.

This temporary material creation is in a state of decay, decline and in need of constant maintenance and is not our real home and never was.

Even for those proud of their material bodily standing and it's accadmic knowledge of even the Vedas (Like the story of the proud arrogent brahman and the prostitute) nothing lasts within this material universe, everything here fades away over time because all things, including our material bodily vessels, are constantly in a state of decomposition.

This material universe is always in a state of dis-repair, it is simply not our real home and not fit for any jiva-soul to stay in.

Therefore we shouldn't even be here!! It was a mistake we foolishly chose to came here from Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrindavana in the first place.

Fortunately less that 10% of jiva-souls in the spiritual world make that foolish mistake by volunteering (choose) to enter the material world by forgetting Krsna. 

Actually over 90% of jiva-souls never make that choice and have no interest in forgetting Krsna and then entering material existence.

The fact is, we can never find permanent satisfaction and happiness in this alien environment called the material creation.

Only fools try to find comfort and permanent pleasure and happyness in these temporary material bodily vessels that eventually grow old, diseased and end up being food for maggots and worms.

Therefore, the goal of human life is to get out of this material universe and bodily vessel and not try to make ourselves comfortable in the material creation.

Our only desire should be to go back home back to Godhead (Vaikuntha or Goloka-Vrindavana) and also not desire to enter the higher material heavenly planets, or being born in a wealthy pious family within this material universe.

We should be learning from a young age we are the individual jiva-soul within these material bodily containers, and that material endeavor’s for loving relationships, wealth and fame will not solve the main problems of birth, disease, old age and death.

It must be emphasized that the purpose of this very rare human form of life is to get out of this material world and not try and build the kingdom of God without God, like the degraded present age of Kali-yuga Governments around the world are attemping to do today.

Such endevours will never succeed as Prabhupada explains here-

Srila Prabhupada - ''When the superior energy is in contact with inferior energy, it becomes an incompatible situation. But when the supreme marginal potency is in contact with the spiritual potency, Harā, it becomes the happy, normal condition of the living entity." (The Happening Record Album 1966 New York City, New York, USA)
