==== SYNONYMS ====

</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
Seeing the activities of the world, the Ācārya felt compassion and began to ponder how He could act for the people’s benefit.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
This sort of serious interest in the welfare of the public makes one a bona fide ''ācārya''. An ''ācārya'' does not exploit his followers. Since the ācārya is a confidential servitor of the Lord, his heart is always full of compassion for humanity in its suffering. He knows that all suffering is due to the absence of devotional service to the Lord, and therefore he always tries to find ways to change people’s activities, making them favorable for the attainment of devotion. That is the qualification of an ''ācārya''. Although Śrī Advaita Prabhu Himself was powerful enough to do the work, as a submissive servitor He thought that without the personal appearance of the Lord, no one could improve the fallen condition of society.

In the grim clutches of ''māyā'', the first-class prisoners of this material world wrongly think themselves happy because they are rich, powerful, resourceful and so on. These foolish creatures do not know that they are nothing but play dolls in the hands of material nature and that at any moment material nature’s pitiless intrigues can crush to dust all their plans for godless activities. Such foolish prisoners cannot see that however they improve their position by artificial means, the calamities of repeated birth, death, disease and old age are always beyond the jurisdiction of their control. Foolish as they are, they neglect these major problems of life and busy themselves with false things that cannot help them solve their real problems. They know that they do not want to suffer death or the pangs of disease and old age, but under the influence of the illusory energy, they are grossly negligent and therefore do nothing to solve the problems. This is called ''māyā''. People held in the grip of ''māyā'' are thrown into oblivion after death, and as a result of their ''karma'', in the next life they become dogs or gods, although most of them become dogs. To become gods in the next life, they must engage in the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; otherwise, they are sure to become dogs or hogs in terms of the laws of nature.

The third-class prisoners, being less materially opulent than the first-class prisoners, endeavor to imitate them, for they also have no information of the real nature of their imprisonment. Thus they also are misled by the illusory material nature. The function of the ''ācārya'', however, is to change the activities of both the first-class and third-class prisoners for their real benefit. This endeavor makes him a very dear devotee of the Lord, who says clearly in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that no one in human society is dearer to Him than a devotee who constantly engages in His service by finding ways to preach the message of Godhead for the real benefit of the world. The so-called ''ācāryas'' of the Age of Kali are more concerned with exploiting the resources of their followers than mitigating their miseries; but Śrī Advaita Prabhu, as an ideal ācārya, was concerned with improving the condition of the world situation.

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
Everyone was engaged in material enjoyment, whether sinfully or virtuously. No one was interested in the transcendental service of the Lord, which can give total relief from the repetition of birth and death.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
Advaita Ācārya saw the entire world to be engaged in activities of material piety and impiety, without a trace of devotional service, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, anywhere. The fact is that in this material world there is no scarcity of anything except Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Material necessities are supplied by the mercy of the Supreme Lord. We sometimes feel scarcity because of our mismanagement, but the real problem is that people are out of touch with Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Everyone is engaged in material sense gratification, but people have no plan for making an ultimate solution to their real problems, namely birth, disease, old age and death. These four material miseries are called ''bhava-roga'', or material diseases. They can be cured only by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the greatest benediction for human society.

You sometimes cover such characteristics by Your own energy, but nevertheless Your unalloyed devotees are always able to see You under all circumstances.”
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
This verse is also quoted from the ''Stotra-ratna'' (13) of Yāmunācārya. Everything covered by the influence of ''māyā'' is within the limited boundaries of space, time and thought. Even the greatest manifestation we can conceive, the sky, also has limitations. From the authentic scriptures, however, it is evident that beyond the sky is a covering of seven layers, each ten times thicker than the one preceding it. The covering layers are vast, but with or without coverings, space is limited. Our power to think about space and time is also limited. Time is eternal; we may imagine billions and trillions of years, but that will still be an inadequate estimate of the extent of time. Our imperfect senses, therefore, cannot think of the greatness of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, nor can we bring Him within the limitations of time or our thinking power. His position is accordingly described by the word ''ullaṅghita''. He is transcendental to space, time and thought; although He appears within them, He exists transcendentally. Even when the Lord’s transcendental existence is disguised by space, time and thought, however, pure devotees of the Supreme Lord can see Him in His personal features beyond space, time and thought. In other words, even though the Lord is not visible to the eyes of ordinary men, those who are beyond the covering layers because of their transcendental devotional service can still see Him.

The sun may appear covered by a cloud, but actually it is the eyes of the tiny people below the cloud that are covered, not the sun. If those tiny people rose above the cloud in an airplane, they could then see the sunshine and the sun without impediment. Similarly, although the covering of ''māyā'' is very strong, Lord Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā ([[BG 7.14 (1972)|BG 7.14]]):

:''daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī''
:''mama māyā duratyayā''
:''mām eva ye prapadyante''
:''māyām etāṁ taranti te''

“This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.” To surpass the influence of the illusory energy is very difficult, but those who are determined to catch hold of the lotus feet of the Lord are freed from the clutches of ''māyā''. Therefore, pure devotees can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but demons, because of their miscreant behavior, cannot understand the Lord, in spite of seeing the many revealed scriptures and the uncommon activities of the Lord.

</div>

==== SYNONYMS ====

<div class="synonyms">
''dvau''—two; ''bhūta''—of the living beings; ''sargau''—dispositions; ''loke''—in the world; ''asmin''—in this; ''daivaḥ''—godly; ''āsuraḥ''—demoniac; ''eva''—certainly; ''ca''—and; ''viṣṇu-bhaktaḥ''—a devotee of Lord Viṣṇu; ''smṛtaḥ''—remembered; ''daivaḥ''—godly; ''āsuraḥ''—demoniac; ''tat-viparyayaḥ''—the opposite of that.
</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
“There are two classes of men in the created world. One consists of the demoniac and the other of the godly. The devotees of Lord Viṣṇu are the godly, whereas those who are just the opposite are called demons.”
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
This is a verse from the ''Padma Purāṇa''. ''Viṣṇu-bhaktas'', or devotees in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, are known as ''devas'' (demigods). Atheists, who do not believe in God or who declare themselves God, are ''asuras'' (demons). ''Asuras'' always engage in atheistic material activities, exploring ways to utilize the resources of matter to enjoy sense gratification. The ''viṣṇu-bhaktas'', Kṛṣṇa conscious devotees, are also active, but their objective is to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead by devotional service. Superficially both classes may appear to work in the same way, but their purposes are completely opposite because of a difference in consciousness. ''Asuras'' work for personal sense gratification, whereas devotees work for the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord. Both work conscientiously, but their motives are different.

The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is meant for ''devas'', or devotees. Demons cannot take part in Kṛṣṇa conscious activities, nor can devotees in Kṛṣṇa consciousness take part in demoniac activities or work like cats and dogs simply for sense gratification. Such activity does not appeal to those in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Devotees accept only the bare necessities of life to keep themselves fit to act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The balance of their energy is used for developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, through which one can be transferred to the abode of Kṛṣṇa by always thinking of Him, even at the point of death.

“O my Lord, those influenced by demoniac principles cannot realize You, although You are clearly the Supreme by dint of Your exalted activities, forms, character and uncommon power, which are confirmed by all the revealed scriptures in the quality of goodness and the celebrated transcendentalists in the divine nature.”
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
This is a verse from the ''Stotra-ratna'' (12) of Yāmunācārya, the spiritual master of Rāmānujācārya. The authentic scriptures describe the transcendental activities, features, form and qualities of Kṛṣṇa, and Kṛṣṇa explains Himself in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', the most authentic scripture in the world. He is further explained in ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', which is considered the explanation of the ''Vedānta-sūtra''. Lord Kṛṣṇa is accepted as the Supreme Personality of Godhead by these authentic scriptures, not simply by ''vox populi''. In the modern age a certain class of fools think that they can vote anyone into the position of God, as they can vote a man into the position of a political executive head. But the transcendental Supreme Personality of Godhead is perfectly described in the authentic scriptures. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' the Lord says that only fools deride Him, thinking that anyone can speak like Kṛṣṇa.

Even according to historical references, Kṛṣṇa’s activities are most uncommon. Kṛṣṇa has affirmed, “I am God,” and He has acted accordingly. Māyāvādīs think that everyone can claim to be God, but that is their illusion, for no one else can perform such extraordinary activities as Kṛṣṇa. When He was a child on the lap of His mother, He killed the demon Pūtanā. Then He killed the demons Tṛṇāvarta, Vatsāsura and Baka. When He was a little more grown up, He killed the demons Aghāsura and Ṛṣabhāsura. Therefore God is God from the very beginning. The idea that someone can become God by meditation is ridiculous. By hard endeavor one may realize his godly nature, but he will never become God. The ''asuras'', or demons, who think that anyone can become God, are condemned.

The authentic scriptures are compiled by personalities like Vyāsadeva, Nārada, Asita and Parāśara, who are not ordinary men. All the followers of the Vedic way of life have accepted these famous personalities, whose authentic scriptures conform to the Vedic literature. Nevertheless, the demoniac do not believe their statements, and they purposely oppose the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His devotees. Today it is fashionable for common men to write whimsical words as so-called incarnations of God and be accepted as authentic by other common men. This demoniac mentality is condemned in the Seventh Chapter of the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', wherein it is said that those who are miscreants and the lowest of mankind, who are fools and asses, cannot accept the Supreme Personality of Godhead because of their demoniac nature. They are compared to ''ulūkas'', or owls, who cannot open their eyes in the sunlight. Because they cannot bear the sunlight, they hide themselves from it and never see it. They cannot believe that there is such illumination.

''dattvā''—giving in charity; ''imām''—this entire universe; ''yācamānāya''—who was begging from him; ''viṣṇave''—unto Lord Viṣṇu; ''yaḥ''—Bali Mahārāja; ''pada-trayam''—three paces of land; ''rāddham''—achieved; ''indra-padam''—the post of Indra; ''hitvā''—giving up; ''tataḥ''—thereafter; ''siddhim''—perfection; ''avāpsyati''—will achieve.
</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
Bali Mahārāja gave a gift of three paces of land to Lord Viṣṇu, and because of this charity he lost all the three worlds. Later, however, when Lord Viṣṇu is pleased because of Bali's giving everything to Him, Bali Mahārāja will achieve the perfection of life.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
In ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 7.3 (1972)|BG 7.3]]) it is stated, ''manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye'': out of many millions of people, one may attempt to achieve success in life. This success is explained here. ''Rāddham indra-padaṁ hitvā tataḥ siddhim avāpsyati''. ''Siddhi'' consists of achieving the favor of Lord Viṣṇu, not the ''yoga-siddhis''. The ''yoga-siddhis-aṇimā, laghimā, mahimā, prāpti, prākāmya, īśitva, vaśitva'' and ''kāmāvasāyitā''—are temporary. The ultimate ''siddhi'' is to achieve the favor of Lord Viṣṇu.

<div class="translation">
Nārada Muni continued: After Prahlāda Mahārāja, the King of the demons, heard these instructions from the saint, he understood the occupational duties of a perfect person [''paramahaṁsa'']. Thus he duly worshiped the saint, took his permission and then left for his own home.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
As quoted in ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta'' ([[CC Madhya 8.128]]), Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said:

:''kibā vipra, kibā nyāsī, śūdra kene naya''
:''yei kṛṣṇa-tattva-vettā sei 'guru' haya''

A guru, or spiritual master, can be anyone who is well conversant with the science of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore although Prahlāda Mahārāja was a ''gṛhastha'' ruling over the demons, he was a ''paramahaṁsa'', the best of human beings, and thus he is our ''guru''. In the list of ''gurus'', or authorities, Prahlāda Mahārāja's name is therefore mentioned:

:''svayambhūr nāradaḥ śambhuḥ''
:''kumāraḥ kapilo manuḥ''
:''prahlādo janako bhīṣmo''
:''balir vaiyāsakir vayam''

The conclusion is that a paramahaṁsa is an exalted devotee (''bhagavat-priya''). Such a ''paramahaṁsa'' may be in any stage of life—''brahmacāri'', ''gṛhastha'', ''vānaprastha'' or ''sannyāsa''—and be equally liberated and exalted.

<div class="translation">
Those in human society who are intelligent should give up the original cause of lamentation, illusion, fear, anger, attachment, poverty and unnecessary labor. The original cause of all of these is the desire for unnecessary prestige and money.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
Here is the difference between Vedic civilization and the modern demoniac civilization. Vedic civilization concerned itself with how to achieve self-realization, and for this purpose one was recommended to have a small income to maintain body and soul together. The society was divided into ''brāhmaṇas'', ''kṣatriyas, vaiśyas'' and ''śūdras'', and the members of this society would limit their endeavors to meeting their minimum demands. The ''brāhmaṇas'', in particular, would have no material desires. Because the ''kṣatriyas'' had to rule the people, it was necessary for them to have money and prestige. But the ''vaiśyas'' were satisfied with agricultural produce and milk from the cow, and if by chance there were excess, trade was allowed. The ''śūdras'' were also happy, for they would get food and shelter from the three higher classes. In the demoniac civilization of the present day, however, there is no question of ''brāhmaṇas'' or ''kṣatriyas''; there are only so-called workers and a flourishing mercantile class who have no goal in life.

According to Vedic civilization, the ultimate perfection of life is to take ''sannyāsa'', but at the present moment, people do not know why ''sannyāsa'' is accepted. Because of misunderstanding, they think that one accepts ''sannyāsa'' to escape social responsibilities. But one does not accept sannyāsa to escape from responsibility to society. Generally one accepts ''sannyāsa'' at the fourth stage of spiritual life. One begins as a ''brahmacārī'' then becomes a ''gṛhastha'', a ''vānaprastha'' and finally a ''sannyāsī'' to take advantage of the duration of one's life by engaging oneself fully in self-realization. ''Sannyāsa'' does not mean begging from door to door to accumulate money for sense gratification. However, because in Kali-yuga people are more or less prone to sense gratification, immature ''sannyāsa'' is not recommended. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī writes in his Nectar of Instruction:

:''atyāhāraḥ prayāsaś ca''
:''prajalpo niyamāgrahaḥ''
:''jana-saṅgaś ca laulyaṁ ca''
:''ṣaḍbhir bhaktir vinaśyati''
:[[NOI 2]]

"One's devotional service is spoiled when he becomes too entangled in the following six activities: (1) eating more than necessary or collecting more funds than required; (2) overendeavoring for mundane things that are very difficult to obtain; (3) talking unnecessarily about mundane subject matters; (4) practicing the scriptural rules and regulations only for the sake of following them and not for the sake of spiritual advancement, or rejecting the rules and regulations of the scriptures and working independently or whimsically; (5) associating with worldly-minded persons who are not interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness; and (6) being greedy for mundane achievements." A ''sannyāsī'' should have an institution meant to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness; he need not accumulate money for himself. We recommend that as soon as money accumulates in our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, fifty per cent of it should be invested in printing books, and fifty per cent for expenditures, especially in establishing centers all over the world. The managers of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should be extremely cautious in regard to this point. Otherwise money will be the cause of lamentation, illusion, fear, anger, material attachment, material poverty, and unnecessary hard work. When I was alone in Vṛndāvana, I never attempted to construct ''maṭhās'' or temples; rather, I was fully satisfied with the small amount of money I could gather by selling Back to Godhead, and thus I would provide for myself and also print the literature. When I went to foreign countries, I lived according to the same principle, but when Europeans and Americans began to give money profusely, I started temples and Deity worship. The same principle should still be followed. Whatever money is collected should be spent for Kṛṣṇa, and not a farthing for sense gratification. This is the ''Bhāgavata'' principle.

</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
The brāhmaṇa continued: I am actually seeing how a rich man, who is a victim of his senses, is very greedy to accumulate wealth, and therefore suffers from insomnia due to fear from all sides, despite his wealth and opulence.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
Greedy capitalists accumulate wealth under so many miserable conditions, the result being that because they collect money by questionable means, their minds are always agitated. Thus they are unable to sleep at night, and they have to take pills for mental tranquillity to invite sleep. And sometimes even the pills are a failure. Consequently the result of having accumulated money by so much labor is certainly not happiness, but only distress. What is the value of acquiring a comfortable position if one's mind is always disturbed? Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has therefore sung:

:''saṁsāra-biṣānale, dibāniśi hiyā jvale,''
:''juḍāite nā kainu upāya''

"I am suffering from the poisonous effect of material enjoyment. Thus my heart is always burning and is almost on the verge of failure." The result of the greedy capitalist's unnecessary accumulation of wealth is that he must suffer from a blazing fire of anxiety and always be concerned with how to save his money and invest it properly to get more and more. Such a life is certainly not very happy, but because of the spell of the illusory energy, materialistic persons engage in such activities.

As far as our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is concerned, we are getting money naturally, by the grace of God, by selling our literature. This literature is not sold for our sense gratification; to spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we need so many things, and Kṛṣṇa is therefore supplying us the requisite money to advance this mission. The mission of Kṛṣṇa is to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world, and for this purpose we naturally must have sufficient money. Therefore, according to the advice of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, we should not give up attachment to money that can spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī says in his ''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' (1.2.256):

:''prāpañcikatayā buddhyā''
:''hari-sambandhi-vastunaḥ''
:''mumukṣubhiḥ parityāgo''
:''vairāgyaṁ phalgu kathyate''

"When persons eager to achieve liberation renounce things which are related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, though they are material, this is called incomplete renunciation." Money that can help in spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not a part of the material world, and we should not give it up, thinking that it is material. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī advises:

:''anāsaktasya viṣayān''
:''yathārham upayuñjataḥ''
:''nirbandhaḥ kṛṣṇa-sambandhe''
:''yuktaṁ vairāgyam ucyate''

"When one is not attached to anything, but at the same time accepts everything in relation to Kṛṣṇa, one is rightly situated above possessiveness." (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.2.255) Money is undoubtedly coming in great quantities, but we should not be attached to this money for sense gratification; every cent should be spent for spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, not for sense gratification. There is danger for a preacher when he receives great quantities of money, for as soon as he spends even a single cent of the collection for his personal sense gratification, he becomes a fallen victim. The preachers of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement should be extremely careful not to misuse the immense quantities of money needed to spread this movement. Let us not make this money the cause of our distress; it should be used for Kṛṣṇa, and that will cause our eternal happiness. Money is Lakṣmī, or the goddess of fortune, the companion of Nārāyaṇa. Lakṣmījī must always remain with Nārāyaṇa, and then there need be no fear of degradation.

<div class="translation">
The living entity tries to achieve happiness and rid himself of the causes of distress, but because the various bodies of the living entities are under the full control of material nature, all his plans in different bodies, one after another, are ultimately baffled.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
Because the materialist is in gross ignorance of how the laws of material nature act upon him as a result of his fruitive activity, he mistakenly plans to enjoy bodily comfort in the human form of life through so-called economic development, through pious activities for elevation to the higher planetary systems, and in many other ways, but factually he becomes a victim of the reactions of his fruitive activities. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is situated as the Supersoul within the cores of the hearts of all living entities. As the Lord says in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]):

:''sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo''
:''mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca''

"I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness." The desires and activities of the living being are observed by the Supersoul, who is the ''upadraṣṭā'', the overseer, and who orders material nature to fulfill the various desires of the living being. As clearly stated in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)|BG 18.61]]):

:''īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ''
:''hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati''
:''bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni''
:''yantrārūḍhāni māyayā''

The Lord is situated in everyone's heart, and as one desires, the Lord gives one various types of bodies, which are like machines. Riding on such a machine, the living entity wanders throughout the universe, under the control of material nature and its modes. Thus the living being is not at all free to act, but is fully under the control of material nature, which is fully under the control of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

As soon as a living entity is victimized by material desires to lord it over material nature, he is subjected to the control of material nature, which is supervised by the Supreme Soul. The result is that one again and again makes plans and is baffled, but as foolish as he is he cannot see the cause of his bafflement. This cause is distinctly stated in ''Bhagavad-gītā'': because one has not surrendered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he must work under the control of material nature and its stringent laws (''daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā'' ([[BG 7.14 (1972)|BG 7.14]])). The only means of becoming free from this entanglement is to surrender to the Supreme Lord. In the human form of life, the living entity must accept this instruction from the Supreme Person, Kṛṣṇa: ''sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja'' ([[BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]). "Do not plan to achieve happiness and drive away distress. You will never be successful. Simply surrender unto Me." Unfortunately, however, the living entity does not accept the Supreme Lord's clearly stated instructions from Bhagavad-gītā, and thus he becomes a perpetual captive of the laws of material nature.

''Yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ:'' ([[BG 3.9 (1972)|BG 3.9]])) if one does not act for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa, who is known as Viṣṇu or Yajña, he must be entangled in the reactions of fruitive activities. These reactions are called ''pāpa'' and ''puṇya''—sinful and pious. By pious activities one is elevated to the higher planetary systems, and by impious activities one is degraded to lower species of life, in which he is punished by the laws of nature. In the lower species of life there is an evolutionary process, and when the term of the living entity's imprisonment or punishment in the lower species is finished, he is again offered a human form and given a chance to decide for himself which way he should plan. If he again misses the opportunity, he is again put into the cycle of birth and death, going sometimes higher and sometimes lower, turning on the ''saṁsāra''-cakra, the wheel of material existence. As a wheel sometimes goes up and sometimes comes down, the stringent laws of material nature make the living entity in material existence sometimes happy and sometimes distressed. How he suffers in the cycle of happiness and distress is described in the next verse.

</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
All living entities within this material world are undergoing the cycle of birth and death according to the laws of nature. This struggle of birth and death in different species may be called the evolutionary process, but in the Western world it has been wrongly explained. Darwin's theory of evolution from animal to man is incomplete because the theory does not present the reverse condition, namely evolution from man to animal. In this verse, however, evolution has been very well explained on the strength of Vedic authority. Human life, which is obtained in the course of the evolutionary process, is a chance for elevation (svargāpavarga) or for degradation (''tiraścām punar asya ca''). If one uses this human form of life properly, he can elevate himself to the higher planetary systems, where material happiness is many thousands of times better than on this planet, or one may cultivate knowledge by which to become free from the evolutionary process and be reinstated in one's original spiritual life. This is called ''apavarga'', or liberation.

Material life is called ''pavarga'' because here we are subject to five different states of suffering, represented by the letters ''pa, pha, ba, bha'' and ''ma''. ''Pa'' means ''pariśrama'', very hard labor. ''Pha'' means ''phena'', or foam from the mouth. For example, sometimes we see a horse foaming at the mouth with heavy labor. Ba means ''byarthatā'', disappointment. In spite of so much hard labor, at the end we find disappointment. ''Bha'' means ''bhaya'', or fear. In material life, one is always in the blazing fire of fear, since no one knows what will happen next. Finally, ma means ''mṛtyu'', or death. When one attempts to nullify these five different statuses of life—''pa, pha, ba, bha'' and ''ma—''one achieves ''apavarga'', or liberation from the punishment of material existence.

The word ''tiraścām'' refers to degraded life. Human life, of course, provides an opportunity for the best living conditions. As Western people think, from the monkeys come the human beings, who are more comfortably situated. However, if one does not utilize his human life for ''svarga'' or apavarga, he falls again to the degraded life of animals like dogs and hogs. Therefore a sane human being must consider whether he will elevate himself to the higher planets, prepare to free himself from the evolutionary process, or travel again through the evolutionary process in higher and lower grades of life. If one works piously one may be elevated to the higher planetary systems or achieve liberation and return home, back to Godhead, but otherwise one may be degraded to a life as a dog, a hog and so on. As explained in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 9.25 (1972)|BG 9.25]]), ''yānti deva-vratā devān''. Those interested in being elevated to the higher planetary systems (Devaloka or Svargaloka) must prepare to do so. Similarly, if one wants liberation and wants to return home, back to Godhead, he should prepare himself for that purpose.

Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is therefore the highest movement for the benediction of human society because this movement is teaching people how to go back home, back to Godhead. In ''Bhagavad-gītā'' ([[BG 13.22 (1972)|BG 13.22]]) it is clearly stated that different forms of life are obtained by association with the three modes of material nature (''kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya sad-asad-yoni janmasu''). According to one's association with the material qualities of goodness, passion and ignorance in this life, in one's next life one receives an appropriate body. Modern civilization does not know that because of varied associations in material nature, the living entity, although eternal, is placed in different diseased conditions known as the many species of life. Modern civilization is unaware of the laws of nature.

:''prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni''
:''guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ''
:''ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā''
:''kartāham iti manyate''

"The bewildered spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself the performer of activities that are in actuality carried out by nature." ([[BG 3.27 (1972)|BG 3.27]]) Every living entity is under the full control of the stringent laws of material nature, but rascals think themselves independent. Actually, however, they cannot be independent. This is foolishness. A foolish civilization is extremely risky, and therefore the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is trying to make people aware of their fully dependent condition under the stringent laws of nature and is trying to save them from being victimized by strong māyā, which is Kṛṣṇa's external energy. Behind the material laws is the supreme controller, Kṛṣṇa (''mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate'' ''sacarācaram'' ([[BG 9.10 (1972)|BG 9.10]])). Therefore if one surrenders unto Kṛṣṇa (''mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te'' ([[BG 7.14 (1972)|BG 7.14]])), one may immediately be freed from the control of external nature (''sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate'' ([[BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]])). This should be the aim of life.
