What is that binds us to the materialistic world in an inseparable manner?

Question

Everybody knows that he is a mortal. Still he wants to live for ever.

Answer 1

In the Bhagavad-gita(3.36)
Arjuna said: O descendant of Vrishni, by what is one impelled to sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if engaged by force?

Lord Krishna answered in the Bhagavad-gita(3.37)
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: It is lust only, Arjuna, which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath, and which is the all-devouring sinful enemy of this world.

See below the purport to above verse by,
A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
When a living entity comes in contact with the material creation, his eternal love for Krishna is transformed into lust, in association with the mode of passion. Or, in other words, the sense of love of God becomes transformed into lust, as milk in contact with sour tamarind is transformed into yogurt. Then again, when lust is unsatisfied, it turns into wrath; wrath is transformed into illusion, and illusion continues the material existence. Therefore, lust is the greatest enemy of the living entity, and it is lust only which induces the pure living entity to remain entangled in the material world. Wrath is the manifestation of the mode of ignorance; these modes exhibit themselves as wrath and other corollaries. If, therefore, the mode of passion, instead of being degraded into the mode of ignorance, is elevated to the mode of goodness by the prescribed method of living and acting, then one can be saved from the degradation of wrath by spiritual attachment.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead expanded Himself into many for His ever-increasing spiritual bliss, and the living entities are parts and parcels of this spiritual bliss. They also have partial independence, but by misuse of their independence, when the service attitude is transformed into the propensity for sense enjoyment, they come under the sway of lust. This material creation is created by the Lord to give facility to the conditioned souls to fulfill these lustful propensities, and when completely baffled by prolonged lustful activities, the living entities begin to inquire about their real position.

Answer 2

Indeed, one doesn't come to the World to come, through indulgement in the materialistic world. A person must look for spirituality and work to come closer to G-d. The only real life is in the next world, this is nothing more then a waiting room where one prepares to come to the palace.

Answer 3

That is the secreat of the creator of this world. That eye is closed temporarily, untill I and you are thirsty to go back to the abord. The known pleasure is much better than the unknown pleasure. Sweet which is in hand is much bettr than the Nectar that is kept on the top of the tree. The physical person is made of inseparable materials and imagination has to rise for something that we have to believe for which the 'Guru' Teacher should come to us. He is the teacher, call him, narrate his one name atleast once a day, even playfully. It would open our real eye., this the lenses on both sides of our nose.

Answer 4

You understanding on that word is very wrong, my friend.Materialistic world means this world where we are at present living which has concern only on material thing but not on spiritual matter or thing. "in an inseparable manner" means in a manner that could not be separated. so it means a world which concerns only on material things in a manner that could not be separated by anything.

Answer 5

Opinion. To answer your first of 2 questions.
Mortality is all man can hope for in the new world.
Without God, that cannot happen. Many will live forever right here on this planet, but obedience to God's laws are the means, and you and I cannot change that. He is going to live forever, and can bring you with him.

Answer 6

Our mortal love to the mechanical world

Answer 7

Surprisingly, not everyone REALLY wants to live forever. People only want to make the most out of their lives, and as they realise it's too late to do so, they want a second chance.

Answer 8

every one knows that he or she is going to die sometime. death is truth. but everyone doesnot leave for themself. life is a gods gift to human being but its get wasted when people dont realize for what purpose they have been sent to this world and they spend their life meaningless. I believe that everyone in this world has been sent to this world to perform a particular task but most of them do not realise and if someone realize it becomes to late there are very few people in this world who knew the value of their life and become successfu . if u really undrestood life reply me at [e-mail]
