2.43 Full of desires, having heaven as their goal, (they utter speech which is directed to ends) leading to new births as the result of their works, and prescribe various methods abounding in specific actions, for the attainment of pleasure and power.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish

Being desirous of sense gratification and opulent life, they say that there is nothing more than this.
