Answer
To understand this, we must first understand the purpose of the material world.
The material world exists for those who have forgotten Krishna or who wish to enjoy independently of Him. Material nature facilitates this desire by providing countless opportunities for temporary enjoyment.
The spiritual world is entirely different.
In the spiritual world, there is no forgetfulness of Krishna. Every living being is fully Krishna conscious, every person is a devotee, and everyone experiences complete spiritual happiness.
There is no need for artificial attractions such as theme parks, grand monuments, or entertainment complexes, because the bliss of Krishna consciousness is complete and ever-increasing.
In contrast, people in the material world attempt to satisfy themselves by exploiting material resources for personal or collective enjoyment. This is the very purpose for which the material world exists—to allow conditioned souls to try to enjoy independently of Krishna.
However, all material creations are temporary.
No matter how magnificent they appear today, they will eventually be destroyed. Even if they remain standing, every individual must one day leave them behind at death.
People become absorbed in various forms of sense gratification, whether simple or sophisticated. Whether one enjoys ordinary comforts at home or extravagant attractions like Disneyland, the underlying principle is the same—temporary material enjoyment.
Such enjoyment is compared to a dream.
When we dream, the experiences may seem real, whether pleasant or painful. But upon waking, we realize the dream had no lasting significance. Similarly, material enjoyment appears attractive only while one is under the illusion of material consciousness.
Eventually, everything ends.
At death, we must leave behind not only places like Disneyland but even our own bodies, which serve as the instruments of material enjoyment. With old age, disease, and the weakening of the senses, the capacity for such enjoyment gradually disappears.
Unfortunately, many people adopt a hedonistic philosophy:
"Eat, drink, and be merry as long as you can."
This atheistic outlook is extremely dangerous because it encourages people to neglect spiritual life and Krishna consciousness.
The more one pursues material enjoyment while ignoring spiritual advancement, the more one becomes entangled in material existence and the more suffering one ultimately experiences.
All the elaborate arrangements for material enjoyment require constant maintenance and create increasingly complex entanglements.
Therefore, we should not become cheated by these temporary attractions.
Instead of trying to forget reality, we should seek to understand it. Human life is not meant to imitate the lives of animals, birds, or insects, who live only for bodily enjoyment.
The human form of life is meant for realizing the Absolute Truth and living according to spiritual knowledge.
If we use this rare opportunity properly by cultivating Krishna consciousness, our lives become truly meaningful and successful.
