...we are spiritual entities, our natural tendency is to enjoy life.
Spiritual entities means by nature, anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra
1.1.12); by nature, they want to enjoy life. Ananda-mayo 'bhyasat. That
is the spiritual nature. As Krṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
is by nature joyful, similarly, we being part and parcel of Krṣṇa, we
are also by nature joyful. But unfortunately, we have been put into such
condition, material condition, that we are trying to enjoy life in this
material condition. That is not possible...-excerpt from lecture by H.D.G. A.C. Bhaktivadanta Swami Prabhupada Feb. 24, 1971
