Spiritual anxiety means you are advancing in spiritual life, and material anxiety means you are going downhill. Maya is so strong that as soon as I am sitting in a solitary place, then I’ll think of money and women. Therefore we should live always in assembly and chant Hare Krsna and save ourself from the danger of material falldown.

From Srila Prabhupada’s lecture on Bhagavad-gita 16.11-12 — Hawaii, February 7, 1975
