So spiritual kingdom is beyond this material world made of three modes of material nature, sattva-rajas-tamah. So when incarnation of the Supreme Lord comes... Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati (BG 4.7), Krsna has given us. We are fallen down from the spiritual kingdom to this material world on account of desiring to fulfill our material senses. But Krsna is so kind that He has given us the Vedic literatures. Anadi bahir mukha jiva krsna bhuli gela (CC Madhya 20.117). This is the statement in the Caitanya-caritamrta. Ataeva krsna veda purana karila (CC Madhya 20.117). Because we have forgotten Krsna, anadi... Anadi means before the beginning of this creation. The beginning of this creation is called adi, beginning, but our forgetfulness of Krsna is anadi. Anadi. Anadi bahir mukha. We are working in this life, in this material world, struggling for existence to get happiness. That is the aim of life. But because we have forgotten Krsna, we do not know the source of happiness. Anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). The anandamaya-vigraha, sac-cid-ananda-vigraha (BS 5.1), we have forgotten Krsna. Still, we are searching after ananda, blissfulness. This is our struggle for existence. Manah-sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati (BG 15.7). We are in this prakrti, in this material nature, prakrti-sthani, and, being dictated by the mind, making plans to become happy. But that is not possible. Manah-sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani. This is... Due to our forgetfulness, we are struggling for existence to get happiness, but because we do not know what is the source of happiness, it is called struggle for existence. This is going on.
