Prabhupada: Yes, that, if we understand that I am not body. So at the present moment I am engaged only to keep my body in comfort. But I am not taking any care of myself. Just like I am cleansing the shirt and coat, thrice daily, uh, but I am hungry. No food for me, only washing material for my shirt and coat. And this basic civilization is wrong. If I take care of your coat and shirt and I don't give you to eat anything, then how long you'll be satisfied? And that is going on. This is the basic mistake. Everywhere, the material civilization means taking over-care of the body and bodily comforts. But the owner of the body, the spirit soul, no care.

This basic defect of materialism remains undetected by the misleaders of India and therefore they are not serious about going BACK TO GODHEAD the ultimate aim of life's journey.
