Category:Becoming Agitated
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the living entity is active by nature and therefore susceptible to agitation. The analysis of these quotes distinguishes between two distinct types of agitation: material and spiritual. Material agitation is primarily driven by the sex impulse (ādi-rasa); the mind and senses are so powerful that even great sages like Saubhari Muni and Lord Śiva became agitated by the sight of a woman. This agitation leads to entanglement. However, the goal of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is not to become stone-like or unfeeling, but to transfer this capacity for emotion. The perfection of life is described as becoming agitated by spiritual ecstasy—trembling, crying, and dancing in love of God.
- The Power of Sex Desire: The quotes extensively describe how the presence of the opposite sex causes immediate agitation in the mind. Śrīla Prabhupāda notes that "woman" is synonymous with pramadā (one who agitates), and even wooden forms can disturb the mind.
- The Definition of a Dhīra: A sober person (dhīra) is not someone who feels no agitation, but one who can control it. This self-control is the prerequisite for spiritual life.
- Cosmic Agitation: The principle of agitation extends to the cosmos; the Lord glances over material nature, agitating it to produce the living entities.
- Ecstatic Agitation: In the advanced stage, a devotee becomes "agitated" by the holy name—laughing, crying, and chanting like a madman. The gopīs serve as the ultimate example, being agitated by the "black snakes" of Kṛṣṇa's beautiful arms.
