My Dear Shravanthi,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
This is true. If we don't focus our energy on serving God, we will focus our energy on the material energy, which will force us to experience lust, anger, greed, madness, illusion, and envy.
But if we engage in bhakti, loving service to Krishna (God), we will enter in the sublime realm of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. So it is our choice. We can either serve matter and experience temporality, ignorance, and misery or we can serve Krishna and experience eternity, knowledge, and bliss. In the Bhagavad-gita As It Is we learn the science of how to perfectly serve spirit by serving Krishna, Who is origin of everything both spiritual and material.
So which do you want to do?
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever
well-wisher,
