The Conditioned Soul

The conditioned soul sometimes personally appreciates the futility of sense enjoyment in the material world, and he sometimes considers material enjoyment to be full of miseries. However, due to his strong bodily conception, his memory is destroyed, and again and again he runs after material enjoyment, just as an animal runs after a mirage in the desert.

Vision

“In it, even that far back, Prabhupada spelled out his clear vision for spreading his mission in four distinct and closely connected movements or waves.”

Materialistic Enjoyer

When a man is attached to material enjoyment, he is attached to many miserable conditions, but nevertheless he accepts his condemned position as one of happiness. Sense enjoyment is so strong for such a person that he cannot give it up, exactly as a worm in stool cannot give up the stool. From the spiritual point of view, when a person is too absorbed in material enjoyment, he is exactly like a worm in stool. Although such a position is utterly miserable to the eyes of liberated souls, the materialistic enjoyer is greatly attached to it.

Lust

Four Arrows of Kamadev: 1)Harshanam – boy and girl indulging in flowery thoughts for each other 2)Roshanam – endeavoring hard to get each other 3)Shoshanam – exploiting each other 4)Maranam – killing each other.

Let HIM Solve It

Krsna will help us to the degree we have the intention and make the effort, to improve. Certainly no problem of ours is too great for Him to solve. We just need to be willing to let Him solve it.

Giving up Sense Gratification

A devotee doing sense gratification out of material conditionings, if keeps on listening to pure devotees, soon becomes disgusted of sense gratification and gives it up, and so attains the pure devotion to krishna.
