Mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ, bhajanty ananya-manasaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.13 &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;(1972)&lt;/ins&gt;|BG 9.13]]). This is mahātmā. Mahātmā means... Mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.13 &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;(1972)&lt;/ins&gt;|BG 9.13]]). Mahātmās, they are under the protection of spiritual energy, and what is the sign? That bhajanty ananya-manasaḥ. Find out this verse, mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 9.13 &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;(1972)&lt;/ins&gt;|BG 9.13]]). Just like we are under the material energy. This is called... This is also also daivī-prakṛti, but it is inferior. Parā-prakṛti and aparā-prakṛti. That is described. That real daivī-prakṛti is transcendental. Everything is Kṛṣṇa&#039;s energy. Just like heat and light. They are different energies of the fire. But heat or light, light is superior than the heat. Both of them coming from the same source. Heat and light. Just like sun. The heat and light. But we are more concerned with the light, sunlight. Similarly, the spiritual world and the material world, both of them are creation or emanation, mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate, from God. But the light energy is more perfect. Apareyam itas tu viddhi me prakṛtiṁ parām. What is that verse? You have found out? Read it.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Every step, they are being baffled; still, they will do the same thing. Punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.30|SB 7.5.30]]). No sense is coming. No sense is coming. Durātmanaḥ. Not mahātmanaḥ. Mahātmanaḥ means he is no more interested in this kind of business. That is called mahātmanaḥ. Those who are repeatedly engaged in this kind of business, they are called durātmanaḥ. Only for the body&amp;#039;s sake working very hard. So if you analyze, the whole world is doing that. Durātmanaḥ.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

And if anyone agrees, &amp;quot;All right, let it be miserable or pleasant, I don&amp;#039;t mind. I want to remain here...&amp;quot; Just like there are many scholars and many new doc..., degrees holder, they say that &amp;quot;We want to remain in this world happy.&amp;quot; But who is going to allow you to remain in this world? You&amp;#039;ll not be allowed. Even if you agree that &amp;quot;In spite of all miserable conditions, I shall be happy to live in this world,&amp;quot; but the nature will not allow you to live. Immediately, as soon as there is call that &amp;quot;You have to leave this place immediately...&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Oh, I have manufactured these things so nicely, I have got this good apartment, dress, and my wife and children. How can I leave?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Yes, you must leave. There is no time. Immediately you leave.&amp;quot; So who is going to allow you to live even if you think that &amp;quot;I shall live in spite of all miseries&amp;quot;? Therefore Bhagavad-gītā says, duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam ([[Vanisource:BG 8.15|BG 8.15]]). This place is full of misery; at the same time, it is not allowed to remain here permanently. So the solution is, as Bhagavad-gītā says, mām upetya kaunteya duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam, nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ. Mahātmānaḥ means... Mahātmā means the person who is broad-minded. Broad-minded means he is not..., his intelligence is not teeny, that he is satisfied with this material world full of misery. He wants to go to the life of eternal. Just like the Vedas say, tamasi mā jyotir gamaḥ. Jyotir gamaḥ: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t remain in this darkness. Come out for the light.&amp;quot; So one who wants to go out to the light, he is called mahātmā.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
