			The concept that the living entity "cannot do anything" strikes at the very root of material illusion: the false ego. Conditioned souls falsely claim to be the independent doers and controllers of their destinies, but Srila Prabhupada repeatedly shatters this illusion by pointing out our complete dependence on the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Philosophically, the individual soul can only desire, while the Supersoul (Paramatma) must sanction the action, and material nature (prakrti) must execute it. Yet, even material nature is inert and cannot do anything without Krsna's direction. Consequently, all mundane attempts by scientists, politicians, and philanthropists to permanently solve the miseries of birth, death, old age, and disease are doomed to fail because they operate under this illusion of independence. Recognizing our helpless and fallen condition, especially in the age of Kali-yuga, the ultimate perfection is to realize we cannot do anything on our own and to simply depend on the mercy of the Lord by chanting His holy names.
