Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

That is the slight independence of the spirit soul. As soon as the spirit soul wants to enjoy for himself... although we are all sons of God, or Kṛṣṇa, we have got the independence to give up His company and enjoy this material world. That is contamination.
Lecture on SB 6.1.15 -- London, August 3, 1971:

Guest (3): Swamijī, can you tell us why we're in this material contamination? Why is it that the spirit soul has material contamination?

Prabhupāda: That is the slight independence of the spirit soul. As soon as the spirit soul wants to enjoy for himself... Just like many boys gives up the association of the parents and he wants to enjoy this material world in his own way, without the sanction of the father and mother. He has got the right. Similarly, although we are all sons of God, or Kṛṣṇa, we have got the independence to give up His company and enjoy this material world. That is contamination.
