Life and death of a materialistic person –a description of hell (Srimad Bhagavatam #43)

In chapter 30, Lord Kapila describes the negative results of sinful activities. The problem with material activities connected with sense gratification is that they are almost always sinful and thus result in quite painful results in the long run. We receive the human form of life as an opportunity to realize our eternal position as servants of Krishna. It is a great blessing, but it also entails great responsibility. The danger starts when we become enamored by the opportunities of material sense gratification offered by our current body and forget about the goal of life. Studying the adverse results of our actions is part of the process of development of knowledge that can free us from this material world.
