So by association of this Bowery Street, always dust is coming in this room, and it is being stuck up, layer after layer; similarly, by association of this material contamination, we have in our heart accumulated so many material dust. The whole thing, our progress of spiritual life, our progress of spiritual realization, is checked only because we have got some misunderstanding of our identification. The identification is that, "I am this body." That's all. Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke (SB 10.84.13).

Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu said that by chanting this kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtana, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare, the first result will be that your heart will be cleared of all dust accumulated by years and years, life after life with this material association.

This is also described in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that "One who is identified with this body of three elements . . ." This body is made of . . . according to Āyurvedic medicine system, this body is made of tri-dhātu: tejo-vāri-mṛd. That is also stated in the Bhāgavata, tejo-vāri-mṛd.
