miche mayara vase, yaccha bhese’,
khaccha habudubu, bhai
jiva krsna-dasa, e visvasa,
ka’rle ta’ ara duhkha nai

“Everyone is captivated by the waves of the ocean of nescience, but if everyone would immediately accept Lord Sri Krsna as their eternal master, there would be no chance of being carried away by the waves of illusion. Then all sufferings would stop.” Krsna conducts the material world under the three modes of material nature, and consequently there are three platforms of life-higher, middle and lower. On whatever platform one may be situated, one is tossed by the waves of material nature. Someone may be rich, someone may be middle class, and someone may be a poor beggar-it doesn’t matter. As long as one is under the spell of the three modes of material nature, he must continue to experience these divisions.

yasmin sarvani bhutany
atmaivabhud vijanatah
tatra ko mohah kah soka
ekatvam anupasyatah

“One who always sees all living entities as spiritual sparks, in quality one with the Lord, becomes a true knower of things. What, then, can be illusion or anxiety for him?”
