Prabhupāda: The Sāṅkhya philosophy is also like that. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Yes. So this lust... The godly qualities, they come from Kṛṣṇa. Prabhupāda: Everything comes from Kṛṣṇa. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Even the demoniac qualities? Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everything. Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ (BG 10.8). When Kṛṣṇa says, "I am the origin of everything," so the demonic quality is also coming from Kṛṣṇa. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante (BG 4.11). If you want to become a demon, Kṛṣṇa will supply the quality. You become first-class demon. Without Kṛṣṇa's help you cannot become even demon. It is said, sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ: (BG 15.15) "I am situated in everyone's heart." Sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ.
The statement here is that the material world is founded on lust. This is the asuric conception. The godly qualities, they come from Krsna. Even the demoniac qualities?
