SB 3.31.32

Previously it has been explained that the conditioned soul when he is put into the Andha-tamisra and Tamisra hellish condition, and after suffering there he gets a hellish bodies like dogs and hogs and after repetition of several births in that way, he again comes into the form of a human being. Now, how the human being is born are also described by the Kapiladeva-how the human being develops in the mother's abdomen and how he suffers there and how he comes out again. So after all these sufferings, when he gets another chance of human body and if he wastes his valuable time in the association of persons who are concerned with sexual life and eating palatable dishes, then naturally he again glides down to the same condition of Andha-tamisra and Tamisra hellish condition.

Generally the people are concerned with the satisfaction of the tongue and satisfaction of the genital. That is material life. The material life means eat, drink, be merry and enjoy. There is no question of understanding spiritual identification and progress of spiritual advancement. The materialistic people are concerned with tongue, belly and the genital. So if anyone wants to advance in spiritual life, he must be very careful about associating with such people. To associate with such dangerous materialistic men is to commit purposeful suicide in the human form of life. It is said, therefore, that an intelligent man should give up such undesirable association and shall always mix with saintly persons. And when he is in association with saintly persons, all his doubts about mater..., spiritual expansion of life are eradicated, and he makes tangible progress in the path of spiritual understanding. Practically it is also found that people are very much addicted to the particular type of religious faith just like the Hindus, the Muslims or the Christians, they are faithful in their particular type of faith, and they go to the church or go to the temple or mosque, but unfortunately they cannot give up the association of persons who are too much addicted to sex life and satisfying the palate. So here it is clearly said that one may be officially very much a religious man, but if he associates with such person, then he is sure to glide down to the darkest region of hellish life.
