Theme Analysis This category explores the precarious position of the conditioned soul, who, by the laws of material nature, is forced to accept various material bodies according to karma. Driven by the desire to enjoy matter, the soul mistakenly accepts the body as the self, leading to a cycle of birth and death. The quotes emphasize that the only way to break this chain is to voluntarily accept the shelter of the spiritual master and the Supreme Lord.
- Forced Acceptance: A conditioned soul has no free choice; he is forced by the superior authority of material nature to accept a particular type of body according to his karma.
- The Mechanism: Due to a strong desire to enjoy matter, the soul must accept one body after another, wandering through different species.
- False Identification: In ignorance, the conditioned soul accepts this temporary material body as his self, just as a householder might mistakenly identify with his house.
- The Solution: The only remedy to stop accepting material bodies is to accept the instructions of the spiritual master and the shelter of Lord Kṛṣṇa.

The following 27 pages are in this category, out of 27 total.
A
- A conditioned soul has no free choice; he has to accept a certain type of body according to his karma
- A conditioned soul is forced to accept a particular type of body by the higher authority of material laws, but here (in SB 3.20.8) it is clearly said that the Lord was not forced to accept the form of a boar by the external power
- Actually his (the conditioned soul's) only business is to accept the spiritual master, the guru, and through him he must accept the lotus feet or the Lord
- Any form accepted from the material nature has its affection for everything done in the material world. A conditioned soul who accepts a material form for undergoing a certain term of material activities is subjected to the laws of matter
I
- Ignorant personalities, or conditioned souls, have no choice but to accept their precarious condition under material nature. The only remedy is to surrender to Visnu and always pray to be excused
- In the material world, every conditioned soul changes his material body again and again, but when the spirit soul is purified of all material coverings, there is no longer a chance of his accepting a material body
- In this world of matter, which the conditioned soul accepts as consisting of enjoyable resources, the conditioned soul expands, thinking that he is the enjoyer of the material world
T
- The conditioned living being has forgotten his eternal relationship with God and has mistakenly accepted the temporary place of his birth as all in all
- The conditioned soul accepts a particular type of body, such as the body of a hog, by his work & by the superior authority of material nature. But when Lord Krsna appears in the incarnation of a boar, He is not the same kind of hog as an ordinary animal
- The conditioned soul has to accept all these conditions simply to enjoy sense gratification in this world. Although people declare themselves great scientists, economists, philosophers, politicians and sociologists. they are actually nothing but rascals
- The conditioned soul is forced to accept a particular type of body according to his karma given by the laws of material nature under the direction of the Supreme Lord
- The conditioned soul transmigrates into different species of life, higher & lower, because of his association with the modes of material nature. Unless he is relieved of material activities, he has to accept this position because of his faulty work
- The conditioned soul, being wrapped in ignorance and therefore not knowing the goal of life, accepts a guru who can juggle words and make some display of magic that is wonderful to a fool
- The conditioned souls, who do not have self-realization, accept the material body as the dearmost. The idea of the dearmost is then spread all over the body, both concentrated and extended
- The instructions given by Narada and Angira Muni (in SB 6.15.2) are the true spiritual instructions for the illusioned conditioned soul. This world is temporary, but because of our previous karma we come here and accept bodies
- The modern scientists, however, are conditioned souls liable to so many errors and mistakes; therefore the safe side is to accept the authentic version of Vedic literatures, like Srimad-Bhagavatam, which is accepted unanimously by the great acaryas
- This condition of the eternal soul (of accepting a temporary material body) is due to his ignorance, and although it is temporary, it is unwanted. Because of ignorance one is put into temporary bodies one after another
