Material Activities - an essential subject

Material life means defying the laws of God, denying the existence of God. And one wants to become himself God. These are the material activities. There is not much difference between the activities of material life and spiritual life. Only the consciousness has to be changed. When the consciousness is to lord it over the material nature, that is material life. The only distinction between materialistic activity and spiritual activity is that material activity is performed only to satisfy one's own senses whereas spiritual activity is meant to satisfy the transcendental senses of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By spiritual activity everyone factually benefits, whereas by materialistic activity no one benefits and instead one becomes entangled in the laws of karma.
