As soon as you come to the transcendental platform, you become joyful, happy. Joy . . . that is the sign. It is not that simply you say that, "I am in the transcendental meditation. I am a . . ." no. Actually you have to become happy. How you have to become happy? Na śocati na kāṅkṣati. There is no hankering; there is no lamentation. And material life means as soon as we are hankering after sex conjugation, and as soon as there is conjugation, atha gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittaiḥ (SB 5.5.8). As soon as we are united, man and woman, then I want a nice apartment, I want some business, I want some land, I want some friends, I want some society. Similarly, we extend our bodily concept of life. There is no question of transcendental platform.
So we have to wind up from the material concept of life to the spiritual concept, or spiritual platform. That is called brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati (BG 18.54). When one who is on the spiritual platform, he has no more hankering, no more lamentation. Why he should be hankering? He knows that, "I don't want anything material. Why shall I be hankering? Whatever is, I mean, barely required, I must be satisfied with that thing."
So that is a . . . a very, not very nice proposal to the materially advanced world at this present moment. People will not accept it. Therefore this process, transcendental . . . yukta-vairāgya. It is called yukta-vairāgya. You just remain in your place. This is the facility of this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
