If you stick to this temple service, Kṛṣṇa's service, then you are not in this material world. But as soon as you want to enjoy this material world, immediately you are in material world. This is your position. So what is the business of this material world? Now, falsely we are trying to enjoy. The false enjoyer. Everyone is trying to be enjoyer. Kṛṣṇa has given little freedom, "All right. You want to enjoy. Enjoy it." But you have to be in this material world. And in the material world, as soon as you come to the material world, immediately you become contaminated by the modes of material nature. Material nature has three modes, or three qualities—good quality, passion quality and ignorance quality.

If you stick to this temple service, Kṛṣṇa's service, then you are not in this material world. But as soon as you want to enjoy this material world, immediately you are in material world. This is your position.

So what is the business of this material world? Now, falsely we are trying to enjoy. The false enjoyer. Everyone is trying to be enjoyer. Kṛṣṇa has given little freedom, "All right. You want to enjoy. Enjoy it." But you have to be in this material world. And in the material world, as soon as you come to the material world, immediately you become contaminated by the modes of material nature. Material nature has three modes, or three qualities—good quality, passion quality and ignorance quality. Goodness, passion and ignorance. So material world means you associate with the material three qualities—goodness, passion or ignorance. And according to that, as you associate, you get a certain type of body.

Kṛṣṇa orders prakṛti, the material nature that, "He wants to enjoy in this way, you give him a suitable body like that." You . . . "He wants to enjoy by becoming a tiger: 'Immediately I shall jump over an animal.' " Because nūnaṁ mahatāṁ tatra, the weak is the food for the strong. So sometimes we think that we shall be strong like tiger or lion. Kṛṣṇa is sitting within you. He says: "All right, you become a tiger." He sees that, "To become a tiger is my success life," a very strong body. They are exercising, very strong, to become very strong, stout. So Kṛṣṇa will give you, whatever you want—but in this material world. In the spiritual world you cannot become a competitor of Kṛṣṇa. That is not possible. In this material world you can become a false competitor of Kṛṣṇa. Your position is false. Because you are not this body, but you wanted a body like that to enjoy. Just like a pig is given a body. He wanted to enjoy stool. As a human being, possessing a human body, nobody can eat stool. But if one gets a suitable body just like pig, you can very nicely eat stool.
