Category:Abominable
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that "abominable" conditions (jugupsitam) characterize the material world, yet the living entity remains satisfied due to the "covering influence of māyā." While a human being can recognize the filth of a hog's life or the suffocation of the womb, the conditioned soul in those states feels "quite all right." Abominable habits—such as illicit sex, meat-eating, and intoxication—are the beginning of a degraded life that leads the soul toward lower species and hellish planets (Puyoda Naraka). Even "meritorious" people (duskṛtis) are abominable if their intelligence is used for sinful ends. However, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement provides the scientific means to recognize this abominable nature and rise above it. By the mercy of Lord Caitanya and the practice of bhakti-yoga, even the most abominable person can be elevated to the highest platform of saintliness.
- The Spell of Māyā: Māyā is so strong that the living entity is satisfied in any abominable condition, even as a worm in an intestine or a hog eating stool.
- Causes of Abomination: Sinful activities (duskṛti), abominable livelihoods (garhitam vrttim), and unrestricted sex life are the root causes of gliding down to lower species.
- Transmigration to Lower Forms: Those in the mode of ignorance are thrown into abominable species like cats, dogs, reptiles, or serpents as a result of their past karma.
- Abominable Habits: Modern society's addiction to meat-eating, intoxication, and abortion makes the whole atmosphere abominable and entangles humanity in the laws of nature.
- Spiritual Transformation: A pure devotee or a maha-bhagavata can turn a person from an abominable material life to the Lord's service, proving that no condition is too low for the Lord's mercy.
