Śrīmad Bhāgavatam class on Tue 30th Aug 2016 by Sukadev Das 3.24.36 by Hare Krishna Melbourne published on 2016-08-30T09:17:59Z We conditioned souls have taken shelter of the material body, which is full of troubles and miseries. Foolish people cannot understand the situation, and this is called ignorance, illusion, or the spell of māyā. Human society should very seriously understand that the body itself is the source of all miserable life. Modern civilization is supposed to be making advancement in scientific knowledge, but what is this scientific knowledge? It is based on bodily comforts only, without knowledge that however comfortably one maintains his body, the body is destructible.
