and they are allowed regulated economic development or association of woman for sex indulgence. Those who are above the  karmīs , that is, the  jñānīs ,  yogīs  and devotees, are strictly prohibited from sex indulgence. The  karmīs  are more or less devoid of  ātma-tattva  knowledge, and as such, their life is spent without spiritual profit. The human life is not meant for hard labor for economic development, nor is it meant for sex indulgence like the dogs and hogs. It is specially meant for making a solution to the problems of material life and the miseries thereof. So the  karmīs  waste their valuable human life by sleeping and sex indulgence at night, and by laboring hard in the daytime to accumulate wealth, and after doing so, they try to improve the standard of materialistic life. The materialistic way of life is described herein in a nutshell, and how foolishly men waste the boon of human life is described as follows.
