Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

When you see a hog is eating stool and lying in filthy place, you become compassionate. But he's thinking that he's very happy. So that is applicable to every one of us. We are not actually in happy condition of life. We are in distressed condition of life, miserable condition of life.

If anyone comes back to Kṛṣṇa, God, with a spiritual body, then he does not come back within this material world, which is full of miserable condition, duḥkhālayam. That is māyā. We are always in miserable condition of life, but we do not understand. This is called māyā. Just as the . . . (indistinct) . . . cats and dogs, they are animals. They are in a miserable condition of life, but it does not understand. That is animal life. A hog is eating stool and lying in filthy place, but he thinks that he is very happy. He thinks. This is called māyā. Prakṣepātmika-śakti. You are in most abominable condition of life, but still I am thinking I am very happy. This is called māyā.

But those who are not in that condition of life, they think, "Oh, how horrible condition." Just like when you see a hog is eating stool and lying in filthy place, you become compassionate. But he's thinking that he's very happy. So that is applicable to every one of us. We are not actually in happy condition of life. We are in distressed condition of life, miserable condition of life. But by the influence of nature, by the modes of nature, we are thinking that "I am happy." That is actually not happiness. Our actual happiness is . . . that is also pointed out in the Bhagavad-gītā. Our actual distresses are janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi (BG 13.9): janma, to take birth; to die; to become diseased; or to become old. These are our real distresses. But we don't care for it. Neither you know how to get out of it.
