(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2015, Johannesburg, South Africa, Youth Group Lecture)
Srila Prabhupada described how one corner of the spiritual world becomes covered, just as how a corner of the sky becomes covered by a cloud. So this corner of the spiritual sky that is covered, is the material world! And in the material world, people think that they have fallen into material life whereas the truth of the matter is that they are still in the spiritual world. So, therefore, it doesn’t take much – one simply has to come to the point of really getting rid of the cloud, to the point that you really believe that we are still in the spiritual world! I know you all have heard it before and everyone goes, “Yeah, yeah, yeah that’s right but we don’t believe it.” But one day we may believe it.

The material world is just a small part of the spiritual world that is covered over like a cloud. The point of the quote is that we should realize we are covered over and try to get out of that illusion
