Translation
“Because the conditioned soul is always disturbed by the bodily necessities such as hunger and thirst, he has very little time to cultivate attachment to hearing the nectarean words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
Bhaktivedanta Purport
By Śrīla PrabhupādaUnless one is associated with devotees, he cannot cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Nirjana-bhajana, cultivating Kṛṣṇa consciousness in a solitary place, is not possible for the neophyte, for he will be disturbed by the bodily necessities — eating, sleeping, mating and defending. Being so disturbed, one cannot cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We therefore see that devotees known as sahajiyā, who make everything very easy, do not associate with advanced devotees. Such persons, in the name of devotional activities, are addicted to all kinds of sinful acts — illicit sex, intoxication, gambling and meat-eating. There are many so-called devotees passing themselves off as devotees while engaging in these sinful activities. In other words, one who is influenced by sinful activity cannot be accepted as a person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A person addicted to sinful life cannot develop Kṛṣṇa consciousness, as indicated in this verse.
