Honeymoon means husband and wife goes for enjoyment for some time after their marriage, but honeymoon is not long lasting one has to take give up only enjoyment tendencies by becoming aware about serious marriage responsibilities like taking care of children, raising them, earning money, gaining name in society etc just imagine what if one doesn't return back from honeymoon? people will call him insane. Similarly soul has got this rare form of human life if he use that only for enjoyment without becoming aware of his serious responsibility then he is considered to be insane according to scriptures.
What's the responsibility of soul? To free himself from illusory material world and attain shelter of God. In fact Bhagavat mahapuran(3.31) explains that soul himself praises and prays to the God while he is in the womb of his mother he says,“without being agitated any more, I shall deliver myself from the darkness of nescience with the help of my friend, clear consciousness. Simply by keeping the lotus feet of Lord Viṣṇu in my mind, I shall be saved from entering into the wombs of many mothers for repeated birth and death”. But due to pain involved in birth process as he comes out of womb he forgets everything which was promised to the God. He is pampered by parents and soon starts feeling I am the enjoyer of the world becoming forgetful of real responsibility he just keeps satisfying senses sometimes by feeding them, by watching nice things, by smelling, by touching soft things etc.
Human birth is full of responsibilities, we are indebted to parents, demigods, sages, ancestors, society, government etc but greatest responsibility is be aware of our constitutional position as servant of God. We had enough enjoyment in this life as well as past life now it's time to do something serious, but this seriousness is really not so serious but easy and simple. One just need to chant God's name and hear His glories to purify our heart and existence, God has invested all His potencies in His names and one can easily access Him just by chanting.
Turning to spirituality doesn't mean stop enjoying, but it means start real enjoyment, in fact Lord Sri Chaitanya also says in His Shikshastak prayers, 'Anandambudhi Vardhanam Pratipadam', chanting holy names is a process in which at everystep your bliss will increase, you will enjoy the nectar eternally. So one need to make attempt to chant holy names regularly and seriously keeping aside his illusory sense pleasures then one can taste real spiritual pleasure.
