Prakrteha kriyamanani
gunaiha karmani sarvasaha
ahankara vimudhatma
kartahama iti manyate ||
Translation :
The spirit soul bewildered by the influence of false ego thinks himself
the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out by the three
modes of material nature.
Explanation :
Two persons, one
in Sri Krishna consciousness and the other in material consciousness,
working on the same level, may appear to be working on the same
platform, but there is a wide gulf of difference in their respective
positions. the person in material consciousness is convinced by false
ego that he is the doer of everything. He does not know that the
mechanism of the body is produced by material nature, which works under
the supervision of the Supreme Lord. The materialistic person has no
knowledge that ultimately he is under the control of Sri Krishna. the
person in false ego takes all credit for doing everything independently,
and that is the symptom of his nescience. He does not know that this
gross and subtle body is the creation of material nature, under the
order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and as such his bodily and
mental activities should be engaged in the service of Sri Krishna, in
Sri Krishna consciousness. The ignorant man forgets that the Supreme
Personality of Godhead is known as Hrishikesha, or the master of the
senses of the material body, for due to his long misuse of the senses in
sense gratification, he is factually bewildered by the false ego, which
makes him forget his eternal relationship with Sri Krishna.
So friends, as told afore, human beings are the creation of God and this
has been followed traditionally since time immemorial. The actions by
one and all are controlled by the God, it can be either Sri Vishnu or
Lord Shiva. Thus, the success which we get are solely not by our OWN
actions, but with their help. So, do not take success into your head,
try to be as thankful as possible.
OM Shanti Shanti Shanti!!
