"Before our material body creation, in spiritual consciousness, it is clear, crystal clear. But when it is agitated by the material desires... In Bengali there is that poetry, kṛṣṇa-bahirmukha hañā bhoga vāñchā kare. What is that? That desire is that 'I can independently enjoy.' The example... There are many such examples. Just like a man is honest, but if he becomes polluted by the desire that 'If I can get that money by fair or unfair means, I will become rich, so let me take this money,' so immediately mind becomes agitated, and it becomes under the spell of criminality. Then gradually, under superior judgment, I am put into the prison house."
