JOURNAL:

In his purport Srila Prabhupada states; Excessive attachment for material things puts a man in such a bewildering condition of existence. Bhayam dvitiyabhinivesatah syat (SB. 11.2.37): such fearfulness and loss of mental equilibrium take place in persons who are too affected by material conditions.
