Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 5 - Chapter 1 - Verse 15

Sanskrit:

न यावदेतां तनुभृन्नरेन्द्रविधूय मायां वयुनोदयेन ।विमुक्तसङ्गो जितषट्‌सपत्नोवेदात्मतत्त्वं भ्रमतीह तावत् ॥ १५ ॥

ITRANS:

na yāvad etāṁ tanu-bhṛn narendravidhūya māyāṁ vayunodayenavimukta-saṅgo jita-ṣaṭ-sapatnovedātma-tattvaṁ bhramatīha tāvat

Translation:

My dear King Rahūgaṇa, as long as the conditioned soul accepts the material body and is not freed from the contamination of material enjoyment, and as long as he does not conquer his six enemies and come to the platform of self-realization by awakening his spiritual knowledge, he has to wander among different places and different species of life in this material world.

Purport:

When one’s mind is absorbed in the material conception, he thinks that he belongs to a particular nation, family, country or creed. These are all called upādhis, designations, and one has to become freed from them (sarvopādhi-vinirmuktam). As long as one is not freed, he has to continue conditioned life in material existence. The human form of life is meant for cleansing away these misconceptions. If this is not done, one has to repeat the cycle of birth and death and thus suffer all material conditions.
