A
- A conditioned soul considers property for which he is in debt to be his own, and he is very busy acquiring such property. But a devotee considers such property not real property but simply an entanglement in the material world
- A conditioned soul may be very good and act in the mode of goodness, but still he is conditioned under the spell of material nature
- A more settled conditioned soul quivers less, but due to material connection the quivering quality is more or less present everywhere
- According to Viraraghava Acarya, candalas, or conditioned souls who are born in lower than sudra families, can also be initiated according to circumstances. The formalities may be slightly changed here and there to make them Vaisnavas
- Actually these miseries (of mankind) are only the enforced punishments of Maya devi inflicted upon the misguided conditioned souls
- All conditioned souls have imperfect senses, they are subject to commit mistakes and become illusioned, and they are influenced by the propensity to cheat
- All of the systems of yoga are meant to disentangle the conditioned soul from this entrapment, to transfer him from the false enjoyment of material things to the actual enjoyment of Krsna consciousness
- Although a devotee may sometimes have to suffer, he tolerates the suffering. At the same time, he is very kind to conditioned souls and tries to elevate them to Krsna consciousness. This is one of the primary features of a devotee's life
- Although the Lord is always above material existence, through His spiritual potency He appeared and acted like an ordinary human being, accepting duties and obligations, apparently like a conditioned soul
- Although the Supersoul, Paramatma, and the individual soul are both within the body, the Supersoul is devoid of designation, whereas the conditioned soul is designated by his particular type of body
- Anadi Karama Phale, CD 7 - This is a song sung by Bhaktivinoda Thakura, depicting the picture of the conditioned soul
- Another imperfection of the conditioned soul is that he is sure to be illusioned. Being illusioned means accepting something which is not, phantasmagoria to be factual
- Another meaning of guna is rope; it is to be understood that the conditioned soul is tightly tied by the ropes of illusion. BG 1972 purports
- Another significant word in this verse (SB 4.20.34) is acyuta, which means "infallible." Although the Lord appears in this material world, He is never to be considered one of the conditioned souls, who are all fallible
- As a perfect yogi, you can understand everything external and internal regarding embodied, conditioned souls like us
- As an enemy is always thinking of doing harm, so the untrained mind will drag one deeper and deeper into material entanglement. Conditioned souls struggle very hard with the mind and with the other senses
- As in any city there is a prison, and the prison forms a very insignificant part of the whole city, so the material universe is a prison for the conditioned souls
- As living representative of Krsna, our duty is to save these fallen conditioned souls. That is our duty. One may agree to come or not come. It doesn't matter. You try your best to bring him to this Krsna consciousness position
- As long as the conditioned souls, who are themselves bound up by the laws of nature, manufacture plans to get rid of the three miseries, there will be no solution
- At this stage of our material existence, we are conditioned by many laws of nature. All conditioned souls are subject to four defects due to the imperfection of their senses. One defect is that the conditioned soul is certain to commit mistakes
B
- Because he (the conditioned soul) has this wrong conception of life, he is subjected to dualities like praise and chastisement
- Because his senses are imperfect, the conditioned soul is sure to commit mistakes, however great a scientist he may be
- Because the demigods are all materialistically conditioned souls, although they are situated in very exalted positions, their benedictions cannot be permanent. permanent benediction is spiritual benediction, since a spirit soul is eternal
- Behind the material manifestations, there are adhibhuta, adhyatma and adhidaiva actions, which the conditioned soul in the mode of ignorance cannot see
- Being bereft of his life's reserved wealth, the conditioned soul loses all enthusiasm. Indeed, it is as though he loses his life
- Better correct the faulty habits of the conditioned souls by persuasive authoritative preaching and personal example
- Bhakti is obtainable for a liberated person; it is not for the conditioned soul. How is this possible

- Caitanya Mahaprabhu, just to give relief to the rotting, conditioned souls of this age of Kali-yuga, has given us the maha-mantra
- Conditioned soul means they have forgotten Krsna, they are suffering. That's a fact. Tri-tapa yantana, adhibhautika. But because they are illusioned, they are thinking, "We are enjoying." This is called illusion
- Conditioned soul, the living entity, has come here to this material world for enjoyment & for material happiness. The Vedas are the guidance: all right, enjoy - but according to these principles. That is called Veda. Therefore, everything is there
- Conditioned souls consider the body to be the self, and because of this the jivas identify themselves as American, Indian, brahmana, ksatriya, man, woman, elephant and so forth
- Conditioned souls deny the existence of the Lord and the transcendental form of the Lord because they have no eyes of transcendental vision and because they cannot see the Personality of Godhead
- Conditioned souls means one who is identifying with this body, he is called conditioned soul. He is under the condition of this material nature, prakrti. So such persons cannot be perfect
D
- Dharma means the words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is sum and substance, what we mean by dharma. That means dharma cannot be manufactured by any conditioned soul
- Dhruva Maharaja was offered Dhruvaloka, a planet that was never resided upon by any conditioned soul. Even Brahma, although the topmost living creature within this universe, was not allowed to enter the Dhruvaloka
E
- Every conditioned soul has natural inclination. Pravrtti. But one has to control that. That is human life. If you put yourself in the waves of natural inclination, that is not human life. You have to restrict
- Every one of us is under the impression that we are these bodies, but actually we are not. Accepting the body to be the self is called illusion, or maya. The third imperfection is that conditioned souls have a tendency to cheat
F
- For the conditioned soul there are two statuses of living. One status is in this present life, and the other is our preparation for the next life
- From the life of Narada Muni it is distinct that although He was a conditioned soul in His previous life, there was no impediment of His becoming the Spiritual Master
- From the navel of the Personality of Godhead Garbhodakasayi Visnu sprouted a lotus flower effulgent like a thousand blazing suns. This lotus flower is the reservoir of all conditioned souls
G
- Generally speaking, conditioned souls are not very intelligent, and therefore they go on suffering without ever inquiring why. We should understand, however, that this suffering is there, and if there is a remedy we must take advantage of it
- Generally, all conditioned souls desire to lord it over the material nature. Everyone wants to become a demilord, either by social or political activities or by Vedic rituals
- Generally, conditioned souls have lost their atma, or self, but those who are transcendentalists have realized the self
- Gopis, they are not conditioned souls. They are liberated spirits
- Government men are always like carnivorous demons called Raksasas (man-eaters). Sometimes these government men turn against the conditioned soul and take away all his accumulated wealth
H
- He (conditoned soul) is like an ass that belongs to a washerman who loads him down with heavy clothes
- He (Dhruva Maharaja) pointed out that Narada travels all over the universe just for the purpose of doing good to all conditioned souls. He requested that Narada Muni show his mercy by awarding him the benefit of his particular desire
- He (Lord Caitanya) is very sympathetic with the fallen souls of this age. He understands, these conditioned souls, cannot execute the regular process of perfection. Therefore He has bestowed His benediction that you simply chant Hare Krsna and be perfect
- He (the conditioned soul) has been wandering within this material universe since time immemorial
- He (the Supreme Lord) is worshipable by the conditioned soul. Thus God is all-good; God is all-merciful. BG 1972 purports
- He (Vasudeva Datta) was far, far above philanthropists, philosophers and fruitive actors. He was the most exalted personality to ever show mercy to the conditioned souls. This is not an exaggeration of his transcendental qualities. It is perfectly true
- He (Vysadeva) also saw the perfect Supreme Being, from whom illusory energy is far removed, though He saw both the diseased conditioned souls and also the cause of the disease. And the remedial measures are suggested in the next verse
- Here in this verse it is clearly stated that although the forms and activities of the Lord appear to be the same as those of a conditioned soul, they are supernatural and impossible for the conditioned soul
- How can one expect real knowledge from such conditioned souls? There is no possibility of receiving actual knowledge from them
I
- I am different from my soul. "I am" means I am my body, or I am soul, different from the body. So Krsna has no such differentiation. A conditioned soul does not know that, because he's not following Krsna
- If the conduct of the pure devotee crosses the lines of ordinary morality it is because he acts on the plan of Absolute Morality which is not known to the conditioned soul and cannot therefore be imitated
- If we want something, we conditioned soul, we have to work very hard for it. But Krsna, He can by simply will, He can create the whole universe. So why should He work? Na tasya karyam karanam ca . . . this is the Vedic information
- In autumn all the reservoirs of water become enriched with growing lotuses. The muddy water again becomes normally clear and decorated, just as fallen, conditioned souls once more become spiritually enriched in devotional service
- In conditional life, the living entity is temporarily with many other conditioned souls
- In either case, whether the soul is conditioned or liberated, the Lord is supreme. As stated in BG 9.10, mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram: it is by the order of the SPG that the material energy, mahamaya, works upon the conditioned soul
- In the Bhagavad-gita there is the essence of Vedic instructions. The plan is that the conditioned soul may fulfill his desire for material enjoyment and at the same time be trained up in spiritual identity to come back to Godhead, back to home
- In the conditioned state of our life, committing mistake is very natural. Just like we say: "To err is human." Any human being is susceptible to commit mistake
- In the material world the struggle for existence and survival of the fittest are laws because in the material world there is disparity between conditioned souls due to everyone's desire to lord it over the material resources
- In the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that there are many questions by the conditioned soul. There are many questions by the conditioned soul living within this material existence without any knowledge of the self-realization

- It should always be remembered that the material creation is created for the salvation of the conditioned souls
K
- Krsna consciousness movement means we, all conditioned soul, we have come to this material world just to enjoy sense gratification independently. This is our main disease
- Krsna is so merciful, He comes personally, He authorizes His devotees, servants, to enlighten these conditioned souls. Now our Krsna consciousness movement is an humble attempt to raise the standard of these conditioned souls to Krsna consciousness
N
- No one can trace out the history of when the conditioned soul first began accepting these material bodies
- Nobody can trace out the history when we, the conditioned soul, accepted this material body. And deha-bhajam means that anyone who has accepted this material body. Not only we . . . there are 8,400,000 different forms of living entities
O
- O Lord, You do not desire the creation, maintenance or annihilation of this material world, but You perform these activities for the conditioned souls by Your creative energy
- O Supreme Personality of Godhead, all contradictions can be reconciled in You. Since You are the Supreme Person, the reservoir of unlimited spiritual qualities, the supreme controller, Your unlimited glories are inconceivable to the conditioned souls

- Of course nothing is possible without the sanction of the Supreme Will of Sri Krishna but still man-made laws must have defects as the lawmakers are deficient in four primary principles of a conditioned soul
- One who is not liberated, one who is under the stringent laws of material nature; he is called conditioned soul - he cannot give us perfect knowledge
P

- Sukadeva Gosvami and Maharaja Pariksit discussed this subject, and Pariksit Maharaja was anxious to know how the conditioned souls could be saved from their hellish lives

- The atheist Kapila is a descendant of the dynasty of Agni and is one of the conditioned souls
- The business is: "They are claiming all kinds of sinful conditioned souls." Their only business is. Because in this age, Kali-yuga, you cannot find any perfectly pious man or saintly person. Everyone is addicted to so many sinful activities

- The conditioned soul has no information of the spirit and its exalted existence beyond the effects of the material condition

- The conditioned soul is the marginal potency overpowered by the external potency. However, when the marginal potency comes under the jurisdiction of the spiritual potency, it becomes eligible for love of Godhead

- The conditioned souls are wandering throughout the different planets of the universe, entering various species of life

- The expansions of the Supreme Lord's body are innumerable (advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam (BS 5.33)), but the conditioned soul is limited to only one form
- The greatest opportunity for the conditioned soul is when he gets the chance to associate with a pure devotee of the Lord
- The incarnations of Visnu, who appear at different ages and times, are never to be compared to the conditioned souls. The visnu-tattvas are not to be compared to deities like Brahma and Siva, nor are they on the same level
- The karmi thinks of this world as "mine," and the jnani thinks "I am" everything. The whole material conception of politics, sociology, philanthropy, altruism, etc., conceived by the conditioned souls is on the basis of this misconceived "I" and "mine"
- The living entity is also required to revive his natural love and affection for the Lord, and that is the highest perfection of the living entity. Srimad-Bhagavatam treats the conditioned soul with an aim to that goal of life
- The Lord has made it convenient for the conditioned soul to live in Mathura, Vrndavana & Navadvipa and thus be directly connected with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Simply by living in these places, one can immediately come in contact with the Lord
- The Lord is not a part of the material creation, but is beyond the creation. Therefore, not only does He control the conditioned souls through His external energy, but He also controls the external energy itself
- The Lord is the father of all living entities because He impregnates material energy with the conditioned souls. The conditioned souls get bodies created by the material energy, whereas the father of the living entities is aloof from the three modes

- The path of pravrtti-marga was condemned by Narada. That path is the natural inclination for all conditioned souls
- The people in general can be reached very well by the distribution of our literatures and by the propagation of Sankirtana in the streets. These are our two mrdangas for reawakening the sleeping conditioned souls
- The Personality of Godhead, in His Paramatma feature, enters the creation of this material world as Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakasayi Visnu and Ksirodakasayi Visnu, and in a very friendly attitude the Lord sits along with the conditioned soul in the body
- The present forms of the conditioned souls are also not factual
- The purpose of creation is to give the conditioned soul, the rebellious soul, whose nature being constitutional nature is that he should be enjoyed by Krsna, but he has taken the wrong direction, that - I'll not be enjoyed by Krsna. I shall become Krsna

- The Vedic conclusion is that the cosmic manifestation visible to the eyes of the conditioned soul is caused by the Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead, through the exertion of His specific energies
- The Vedic literatures composed by the omniscient Mahamuni Vyasadeva are evidence of all spiritual existence. Only through these revealed scriptures can all conditioned souls attain knowledge
- The whole world, living entity, conditioned soul, they're bewildered by this maya, yaya sammohito jiva atmanam tri-gunatmakam (SB 1.7.5), thinking this body as self, foolish, rascal
- The word bhuja-lata-upagudha, meaning "being embraced by beautiful arms which are compared to creepers," describes the way the conditioned soul is bound within this material world. The products of sex life - sons and daughters - certainly follow
- The word divam refers to the higher planetary system known as Svargaloka. Indra, King of the higher planetary system, has the power to push down any conditioned soul attempting to go from the lower to the higher planets without proper qualifications
- There are so many conditioned souls, and these conditioned souls are only insignificant in comparison to the liberated soul
- These are very old questions. These are not very intelligent questions. God is not creating. God is giving you chance. The conditioned souls who are not with Krsna, they wanted to enjoy this material world. Therefore God is giving them chance
- They (the conditioned souls) exist in different species of life because they are eternally averse to transcendental loving devotion to the Supreme Lord
- They describe the Vedas in their original sense, and out of mercy (anugraha) they preach the purpose of the Vedas to all conditioned souls

- This initiation ceremony is a Vedic principle to lead a conditioned soul to the higher level of transcendental life
- This is a foreign atmosphere. The soul is free spiritually, but it has been conditioned by this material atmosphere. And the body is of this matter
- This Krsna consciousness means it is declaration of fighting with maya. Maya is killing all the poor conditioned souls, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu declared war against maya by spreading Krsna consciousness. And the commander-in-chiefs are Rupa-Sanatana
- This mahat-tattva contains all the ingredients of the material manifestations, including the conditioned souls
- This material sky is meant for the conditioned soul. Just like the prison house
- This material world is a place for suffering, which is due to the misdeeds of the inhabitants, the conditioned souls themselves
- This transcendental knowledge (the arts of music, dance, dressing, decorations relished by god) is unknown to the forgotten conditioned souls
- This universe is nothing but just like a mustard seed in a bag of mustard seed. So even if I (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) take all the conditioned souls of this universe, there are so many universes, other. What about that?
- Those conditioned souls, who are full of material desires, achieve various situations in different planetary systems, and in this way they live within this material creation
- To fulfill His mission of bestowing love of God upon conditioned souls, Lord Caitanya devised many methods to attract those people disinterested in love of God
- To rise to the stage of love shown by the gopis is very difficult, but this stage is attainable for serious conditioned souls
- Trisula means three kinds of miseries. So the maya, this material nature, is inflicting upon the conditioned soul always three kinds of miseries so that they can come to their conscious, Krsna consciousness
V
W
- We are all conditioned souls, suffering the threefold miseries of this material world. Now the Supreme Lord is giving us the opportunity to escape these miseries by the surrendering process
- We are weak, and the material energy is very strong, so to adopt spiritual life is more or less declare war against the material energy. The material, the illusory energy, she is trying to curb this conditioned soul as far as possible
- We generally have the experience of the temporary, material world and conditioned souls trying to lord it over the material worlds
- We have no knowledge of Krsna, conditioned soul. Therefore for our understanding, He is so merciful, He descends as arca-murti. This Deity which we are worshiping, that is called arcavatara, incarnation of arca

- We make a great mistake if we accept Lord Caitanya as a conditioned soul. He is to be understood as the Supreme Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna Himself
- When the conditioned soul finds by culture of knowledge that material necessities are unwanted things, he becomes detached from such unwanted things. This stage of knowledge is called vairagya
- When the conditioned soul tries to get out of her clutches by spiritual advancement of knowledge, material nature becomes more stringent and vigorous in her efforts to test how much the aspiring spiritualist is sincere
Y
- Yah devi, he is situated, keeping the conditioned souls in dream. He is simply dreaming, "I'll be happy in this way, I'll be happy in that way." And that is mental concoction. He'll be never be happy
- You are conditioned soul. You cannot go. You are thinking, "I have got now, discovered this." It is not discovered. The aeroplane was long, long ago. So you cannot go. That is our conditional life
