“Even if your body were material, I still could not neglect it, for the material body should be considered neither good nor bad.

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu told Sanātana Gosvāmī, “Since you are a Vaiṣṇava, your body is spiritual, not material. Therefore you should not consider this body to be subjected to superior or inferior qualities. Moreover, I am a sannyāsī. Therefore even if your body were material, a sannyāsī should see no distinction between a good body and a bad body.”

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
