Theme Analysis
The distinction between material life and spiritual life is defined by whose desires are being fulfilled. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that karma is the attempt to fulfill one's own desires, whereas bhakti is the exclusive endeavor to fulfill the desires of the Supreme Lord. This category explores the depth of this alignment, where the devotee has no separate interest from the Lord. It covers the practical engagement of the senses in their proper constitutional function, the broad mission of reclaiming fallen souls, and even the confidential pastimes where the Lord's desire to fight is satisfied by His eternal associates.
- The Definition of Pure Devotion: A pure devotee is one whose interest is identical to the interest of the Supreme Lord; he has no other ambition than to execute the transcendental will of God.
- Proper Use of the Senses: The senses are instruments belonging to Hṛṣīkeśa (the Master of the senses). Using them for personal gratification is unlawful, while using them to fulfill the Lord's desire is the perfection of existence.
- The Divine Mission: The Lord's primary desire is to reclaim the fallen souls. He descends Himself or empowers His devotees to fulfill this plan of bringing everyone back home, back to Godhead.
- Confidential Pastimes: Even apparent conflicts, such as the fall of Jaya and Vijaya, are arranged to fulfill specific desires of the Lord—in this case, His desire to experience the pleasure of fighting.

- Everyone should engage in His devotional service, including arcana (Deity worship) in the temple. This is the desire of the Supreme Lord, and one who fulfills His desires favorably is actually a pure devotee
- Everyone should offer obeisances, from moment to moment, to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. These are the desires of the Supreme Lord, and one who fulfills His desires favorably is actually a pure devotee

- The individual liberated soul has no other activity (without inspiration to fulfill the desire of the Lord). pratinivrtta-guna-pravahah
- The Lord also sometimes wants to fight, but who can fight with the Lord but a very confidential devotee of the Lord? Jaya and Vijaya descended to this world to fulfill the Lord's desire
- The Lord gives opportunity to the nondevotees to fulfill their desires, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (mattah smrtir jnanam apohanam ca (BG 15.15))
- The Lord is so compassionate upon the fallen souls within this material world that He comes Himself or sends His devotees and His servants to fulfill His desire to have all the fallen souls come back home, back to Godhead
- The mother nature, therefore chastises her disobedient sons in order to bring them to the right path of fulfilling the plan of Godhead. This process of chastisement is necessary for the benefit of both the asuras and the gods alike
- They (associates of Lord Visnu) come with the purpose of fulfilling the desire of the Lord, and their descent to this material world is comparable to that of the Lord
- This is stated in Bhagavad-gita: man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah (BG 9.34). Krsna wants everyone always to think of Him. Everyone should always offer obeisances to Krsna. This is the will of the Supreme Lord, and devotees should try to fulfill His desire
- This is the difference bhakti and karma. Karma means to fulfill my desires, and bhakti means to fulfill Krsna's desires

- We are now utilizing instruments without fulfilling the desire of Aniruddha, or the Hrsikesa. That means we are using it for sense gratification unlawfully. Therefore we are becoming implicated in sinful activities
- When one is advanced in spiritual understanding, he can worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead with his spiritually purified senses and fulfill the desires of the Lord
- When the soul exists for sense gratification, he creates different desires, & for that reason he becomes subjected to designations. But when one is in the transcendental position, he is not interested in anything except fulfilling the desires of the Lord
- Without being empowered by the direct potency of Lord Krsna to fulfill His desire and without being specifically favored by the Lord, no human being can become the spiritual master of the whole world
