Attachment
One cannot become detached from the attraction of the material
world simply by dressing himself in saffron cloth. He must become
attached to the devotional service of the Lord. - BG 15:6, purport -
Designations and attachments are due to our lust and desire, our
wanting to lord it over the material nature. As long as we do not
give up this propensity of lording it over material nature, there is
no possibility of returning to the kingdom of the Supreme, the
sanätana-dhäma. That eternal kingdom, which is never destroyed,
can be approached by one who is not bewildered by the attrac-
tions of false material enjoyments, who is situated in the service of
the Supreme Lord. - BG Intro -
