"translation": "<b>O Lord, O supreme eternal, by expanding Your plenary portion You have created the subtle bodies of the living entities through the agency of Your external energy, which is agitated by time. Thus the mind entraps the living entity in unlimited varieties of desires to be fulfilled by the Vedic directions of karma-kāṇḍa [fruitive activity] and the sixteen elements. Who can get free from this entanglement unless he takes shelter at Your lotus feet?</b>",

"If the hand of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is present in everything, where is the question of being liberated from material encagement to spiritual, blissful life? Indeed, it is a fact that Kṛṣṇa is the source of everything, as we understand from Kṛṣṇa Himself in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ</i>). All the activities in both the spiritual and material world are certainly conducted by the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead through the agency of either the material or spiritual nature. As further confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>9.10</i>), <i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram:</i> without the direction of the Supreme Lord, material nature cannot do anything; it cannot act independently. Therefore, in the beginning the living entity wanted to enjoy the material energy, and to give the living entity all facility, Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, created this material world and gave the living entity the facility to concoct different ideas and plans through the mind. These facilities offered by the Lord to the living entity constitute the sixteen kinds of perverted support in terms of the knowledge-gathering senses, the working senses, the mind and the five material elements. The wheel of repeated birth and death is created by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but to direct the bewildered living entity in progress toward liberation according to varied stages of advancement, different directions are given in the <i>Vedas</i> (<i>chandomayam</i>). If one wants to be elevated to the higher planetary systems, he may follow the Vedic directions. As the Lord states in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.25):",

"\"Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors; and those who worship Me will live with Me.\" The real purpose of the <i>Vedas</i> is to direct one back home, back to Godhead, but the living entity, not knowing the real goal of his life, wants to go sometimes here and sometimes there and do sometimes this and sometimes that. In this way he wanders throughout the entire universe, imprisoned in various species and thus engaging in various activities for which he must suffer the reactions. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore says:",

"The fallen, conditioned living entity, trapped by the external energy, loiters in the material world, but if by good fortune he meets a bona fide representative of the Lord who gives him the seed of devotional service, and if he takes advantage of such a <i>guru,</i> or representative of God, he receives the <i>bhakti-latā-bīja,</i> the seed of devotional service. If he properly cultivates Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he is then gradually elevated to the spiritual world. The ultimate conclusion is that one must surrender to the principles of <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> for then one will gradually attain liberation. No other method of liberation from the material struggle is at all possible."

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.11) the Lord clearly says, <i>ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham:</i> <i>\"As</i> one surrenders to Me, I reward him accordingly.\" As stated by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, <i>jīvera 'svarūpa' haya—kṛṣṇera 'nitya-dāsa': </i>every living being is an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa. According to the service the living entity renders, he automatically receives benedictions from Kṛṣṇa, who does not make distinctions, thinking, \"Here is a person in an intimate relationship with Me, and here is a person I dislike.\" Kṛṣṇa advises everyone to surrender to Him (<i>sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja</i>). One's relationship with the Supreme Lord is in proportion to that surrender and the service one renders unto the Lord. Thus throughout the entire world the higher or lower positions of the living entities are selected by the living entities themselves. If one is inclined to dictate that the Lord grant something, one receives benedictions according to his desires. If one wants to be elevated to the higher planetary systems, the heavenly planets, he can be promoted to the place he desires, and if one wants to remain a hog or a pig on earth, the Lord fulfills that desire also. Therefore, one's position is determined by one's desires; the Lord is not responsible for the higher or lower grades of our existence. This is further explained quite definitely in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.25) by the Lord Himself:",
