So we have been discussing, yesterday, Brahmā visiting Kṛṣṇa as four-headed Brahmā. He was little proud that, "I am the original, first creature of this universe. I have got four heads, four hands." The material nature, the influence of material nature, is like that. Even Brahmā, who is supposed to be in full knowledge of Vedic literature . . . he is the father of Vedic literature. He handed over the Vedas to Nārada. Still, that ahaṅkāra, "I am something," is there even in Brahmā, and what to speak of ordinary living entities like us. This material conception of life is like that: "I am" and "mine." Ahaṁ . . . ahaṁ mameti (SB 5.5.8). Ahaṁ mameti: "I am something, supreme," and "It is mine." This is the material disease.

So we have been discussing, yesterday, Brahmā visiting Kṛṣṇa as four-headed Brahmā. He was little proud that, "I am the original, first creature of this universe. I have got four heads, four hands." The material nature, the influence of material nature, is like that. Even Brahmā, who is supposed to be in full knowledge of Vedic literature . . . he is the father of Vedic literature. He handed over the Vedas to Nārada.

Still, that ahaṅkāra, "I am something," is there even in Brahmā, and what to speak of ordinary living entities like us. This material conception of life is like that: "I am" and "mine." Ahaṁ . . . ahaṁ mameti ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.8|SB 5.5.8]]). Ahaṁ mameti: "I am something, supreme," and "It is mine." This is the material disease. So, these things are sometimes exhibited by great īśvaraḥ, controller, like Brahmā, like Śiva. They sometimes exhibit material frailties. They are not fallible in that way, but they teach us by their behavior that even personalities of the most exalted position, they are also sometimes subjected to the spell of illusory energy. The idea is that we should be very careful. Nobody should think that he is beyond the range of material energy. At any time we can fall down.
