Just as Rāhu, which is normally invisible, sometimes becomes visible in the presence of the full moon, all the material desires stocked in the mind, which are normally invisible until manifested, become visible at once when the devotee attains the constant association of the Lord. One can thus see his entire stock of desires at once and, simultaneously, see the Lord present before him. In the presence of the Lord, all these material desires look insignificant, and a devotee completely loses interest in them. With all material desires destroyed, there is no more obstacle in one going back home, back to Godhead.
Going back to Godhead from family life (Srimad Bhagavatam #76)
In the presence of the Lord, all material desires look insignificant, and a devotee completely loses interest in them. There is then no more obstacles in one going back to Godhead.
