Life’s desires should never be directed toward sense gratification.One should desire only a healthy life, or self-preservation, since a human being is meant for inquiry about the Absolute Truth. Nothing else should be the goal of one’s works. Devotees do not find physical maintenance inspiring. Still, they can take care of themselves and their families if they have the vision that such maintenance serves a spiritual purpose. Life passes quickly; we should not allow ourselves to waste time.
