The conditioned souls, who have come to this material world for sense gratification, are allowed to enjoy their senses under certain regulative principles. If they violate these regulations, they are judged and punished by Yamarāja. He brings them to the hellish planets and properly chastises them to bring them back to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

"\"One who accepts this bodily bag of three elements [bile, mucus and air] as his self, who has an affinity for an intimate relationship with his wife and children, who considers his land worshipable, who takes bath in the waters of the holy places of pilgrimage but never takes advantage of those persons who are in actual knowledge—he is no better than an ass or a cow.\" (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.84.13) There are two classes of men absorbed in the material concept of life. Out of ignorance, a man in the first class thinks his body to be his self, and therefore he is certainly like an animal (<i>sa eva go-kharaḥ</i>). The person in the second class, however, not only thinks his material body to be his self, but also commits all kinds of sinful activities to maintain his body. He cheats everyone to acquire money for his family and his self, and he becomes envious of others without reason. Such a person is thrown into the hell known as Raurava. If one simply considers his body to be his self, as do the animals, he is not very sinful. However, if one needlessly commits sins to maintain his body, he is put into the hell known as Raurava. This is the opinion of Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura. Although animals are certainly in the bodily concept of life, they do not commit any sins to maintain their bodies, mates or offspring. Therefore animals do not go to hell. However, when a human being acts enviously and cheats others to maintain his body, he is put into a hellish condition."

"purport": [
"There is actually only one religious principle: <i>dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītam.</i> The only religious principle is to follow the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Unfortunately, especially in this age of Kali, everyone is an atheist. People do not even believe in God, what to speak of following His words. The words <i>nija-veda-patha</i> can also mean \"one's own set of religious principles.\" Formerly there was only one <i>veda-patha,</i> or set of religious principles. Now there are many. It doesn't matter which set of religious principles one follows: the only injunction is that he must follow them strictly. An atheist, or <i>nāstika,</i> is one who does not believe in the <i>Vedas.</i> However, even if one takes up a different system of religion, according to this verse he must follow the religious principles he has accepted. Whether one is a Hindu, or a Mohammedan or a Christian, he should follow his own religious principles. However, if one concocts his own religious path within his mind, or if one follows no religious principles at all, he is punished in the hell known as Asi-patravana. In other words, a human being must follow some religious principles. If he does not follow any religious principles, he is no better than an animal. As Kali-yuga advances, people are becoming godless and taking up so-called secularism. They do not know the punishment awaiting them in Asi-patravana, as described in this verse."

Kṛṣṇa states in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.13), <i>cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ:</i> \"According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, the four divisions of human society were created by Me.\" Thus all men should be divided into four classes—<i>brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, vaiśyas</i> and <i>śūdras</i>—and they should act according to their ordained regulations. They cannot deviate from their prescribed rules and regulations. One of these states that they should never trouble any animal, even those that disturb human beings. Although a tiger is not sinful if he attacks another animal and eats its flesh, if a man with developed consciousness does so, he must be punished. In other words, a human being who does not use his developed consciousness but instead acts like an animal surely undergoes punishment in many different hells."

"<i>karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa, kevala viṣera bāṇḍa,<br/> amṛta baliyā yebā khāya<br/> nānā yoni sadā phire, kadarya bhakṣaṇa kare,<br/> tāra janma adaḥ-pate yāya<br/> </i>[<i>Prema-bhakti-candrikā 8.8</i>]",
"He says that persons following the paths of <i>karma-kāṇḍa</i> and <i>jñāna-kāṇḍa</i> (fruitive activities and speculative thinking) are missing the opportunities for human birth and gliding down into the cycle of birth and death. Thus there is always the chance that he may be put into the Pūyoda Naraka, the hell named Pūyoda, where one is forced to eat stool, urine, pus, mucus, saliva and other abominable things. It is significant that this verse is spoken especially about <i>śūdras.</i> If one is born a <i>śūdra,</i> he must continually return to the ocean of Pūyoda to eat horrible things. Thus even a born <i>śūdra</i> is expected to become a <i>brāhmaṇa;</i> that is the meaning of human life. Everyone should improve himself. Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.13), <i>cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ:</i> \"According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, four divisions of human society were created by Me.\" Even if one is by qualification a <i>śūdra,</i> he must try to improve his position and become a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> No one should try to check a person, no matter what his present position is, from coming to the platform of a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> or a Vaiṣṇava. Actually, one must come to the platform of a Vaiṣṇava. Then he automatically becomes a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> This can be done only if the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is spread, for we are trying to elevate everyone to the platform of Vaiṣṇava. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.66), <i>sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja:</i> \"Abandon all other duties and simply surrender unto Me.\" One must give up the occupational duties of a <i>śūdra, kṣatriya</i> or <i>vaiśya</i> and adopt the occupational duties of a Vaiṣṇava, which include the activities of a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> Kṛṣṇa explains this in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.32):",
"<i>māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya<br/> ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ<br/> striyo vaiśyās tathā śūdrās<br/> te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatim</i>",
"\"O son of Pṛthā, those who take shelter in Me, though they be of lower birth—women, <i>vaiśyas</i> [merchants], as well as <i>śūdras</i> [workers]—can approach the supreme destination.\" Human life is specifically meant for going back home, back to Godhead. That facility should be given to everyone, whether one be a <i>śūdra,</i> a <i>vaiśya,</i> a woman or a <i>kṣatriya.</i> This is the purpose of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. However, if one is satisfied to remain a <i>śūdra,</i> he must suffer as described in this verse: <i>tad evātibībhatsitam aśnanti.</i>"

How such a person is punished is described herein. The word <i>dambha-yajñeṣu</i> in this verse is significant. If one violates the Vedic instructions while performing <i>yajña</i> and simply makes a show of sacrifice for the purpose of killing animals, he is punishable after death. In Calcutta there are many slaughterhouses where animal flesh is sold that has supposedly been offered in sacrifice before the goddess Kālī. The <i>śāstras</i> enjoin that one can sacrifice a small goat before the goddess Kālī once a month. Nowhere is it said that one can maintain a slaughterhouse in the name of temple worship and daily kill animals unnecessarily. Those who do so receive the punishments described herein."

"When one possesses more wealth than necessary, he certainly becomes very proud. This is the situation of men in modern civilization. According to the Vedic culture, <i>brāhmaṇas</i> do not possess anything, whereas <i>kṣatriyas</i> possess riches, but only for performing sacrifices and other noble activities as prescribed in the Vedic injunctions. A <i>vaiśya</i> also earns money honestly through agriculture, cow protection and some trade. If a <i>śūdra</i> gets money, however, he will spend it lavishly, without discrimination, or simply accumulate it for no purpose. Because in this age there are no qualified <i>brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas</i> or <i>vaiśyas,</i> almost everyone is a <i>śūdra</i> (<i>kalau śūdra-sambhavaḥ</i>). Therefore the <i>śūdra</i> mentality is causing great harm to modern civilization. A <i>śūdra</i> does not know how to use money to render transcendental loving service to the Lord. Money is also called <i>lakṣmī,</i> and Lakṣmī is always engaged in the service of Nārāyaṇa. Wherever there is money, it must be engaged in the service of Lord Nārāyaṇa. Everyone should use his money to spread the great transcendental movement of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If one does not spend money for this purpose but accumulates more than necessary, he will certainly become proud of the money he illegally possesses. The money actually belongs to Kṛṣṇa, who says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (5.29), <i>bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśvaram:</i> \"I am the true enjoyer of sacrifices and penances, and I am the owner of all the planets.\" Therefore nothing belongs to anyone but Kṛṣṇa. One who possesses more money than he needs should spend it for Kṛṣṇa. Unless one does so, he will become puffed up because of his false possessions, and therefore he will be punished in the next life, as described herein."

Nevertheless, both the pious and impious are again brought to earth after the results of their pious or impious acts are exhausted.</b>",
"purport": [
"This corresponds to the beginning of Lord Kṛṣṇa's instructions in <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> <i>Tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ:</i> within this material world, one is simply meant to change from one body to another in different planetary systems. <i>Ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthā:</i> those in the mode of goodness are elevated to the heavenly planets. <i>Adho gacchanti tāmasāḥ:</i> similarly, those too engrossed in ignorance enter the hellish planetary systems. Both of them, however, are subjected to the repetition of birth and death. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is stated that even one who is very pious returns to earth after his enjoyment in the higher planetary systems is over (<i>kṣīṇe puṇye martya-lokaṁ viśanti</i>). Therefore, going from one planet to another does not solve the problems of life. The problems of life will only be solved when we no longer have to accept a material body. This can be possible if one simply becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.9):",
"<i>janma karma ca me divyam<br/> evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ<br/> tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma<br/> naiti mām eti so 'rjuna</i>",
"\"One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.\" This is the perfection of life and the real solution to life's problems. We should not be eager to go to the higher, heavenly planetary systems, nor should we act in such a way that we have to go to the hellish planets. The complete purpose of this material world will be fulfilled when we resume our spiritual identities and go back home, back to Godhead. The very simple method for doing this is prescribed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja.</i> One should be neither pious nor impious. One should be a devotee and surrender to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. This surrendering process is also very easy. Even a child can perform it. <i>Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru.</i> One must always simply think of Kṛṣṇa by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma. Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. One should become Kṛṣṇa's devotee, worship Him and offer obeisances to Him. Thus one should engage all the activities of his life in the service of Lord Kṛṣṇa."

If one reads the description of this external form of the Lord with great faith, or if one hears about it or explains it to others to propagate bhāgavata-dharma, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, his faith and devotion in spiritual consciousness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, will gradually increase. Although developing this consciousness is very difficult, by this process one can purify himself and gradually come to an awareness of the Supreme Absolute Truth.</b>",

"The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is pushing forward the publication of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> as explained especially for the understanding of the modern civilized man, to awaken him to his original consciousness. Without this consciousness, one melts into complete darkness. Whether one goes to the upper planetary systems or the hellish planetary systems, he simply wastes his time. Therefore one should hear of the universal position of the <i>virāṭa</i> form of the Lord as described in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> That will help one save himself from material conditional life and gradually elevate him to the path of liberation so that he can go back home, back to Godhead."

"It is said, <i>mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukteḥ:</i> if one wants to progress on the path of liberation, he should associate with <i>mahātmās,</i> or liberated devotees, because in such association there is a full chance for hearing, describing and chanting about the name, form, qualities and paraphernalia of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, all of which are described in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> On the path of bondage, one eternally undergoes the repetition of birth and death. One who desires liberation from such bondage should join the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and thus take advantage of the opportunity to hear <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> from devotees and also explain it to propagate Kṛṣṇa consciousness."
