Generally speaking, it can be said that almost all men are unaware of the existence of the spiritual world. The knowledge of materialists is extremely limited to the limits of our material galaxy, located in the dark part of creation. They do not know that beyond our galaxy lies a myriad of others, and further still, the spiritual world.
Unless one knows God perfectly, in his primordial form and is his devotee, no one can know the existence of the spiritual world.
Men, only interested in the material universe, are called blind. These blind can of course be guided by spiritual masters as blind as they are, for they lack true knowledge, that which concerns the nature of existence in this world of dense matter. These blind masters, preoccupied with the external world, remain forever prisoners of the powerful bonds of material nature.
Unless one renounces materialism, rejects sense pleasure, it will be very difficult to attach oneself to the Lord and thus be conscious of Him. Only by becoming conscious of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, by taking refuge in Him, and by serving Him with love and devotion, can one become free from material contamination.
