we are under a spell
The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this.
bhuñjānaṁ vā guṇānvitam
vimūḍhā nānupaśyanti
paśyanti jñāna-cakṣuṣaḥ
Synonyms
utkrāmantam — quitting the body; sthitam — situated in the body; vā api — either; bhuñjānam — enjoying; vā — or; guṇa-anvitam — under the spell of the modes of material nature; vimūḍhāḥ — foolish persons; na — never; anupaśyanti — can see; paśyanti — can see; jñāna-cakṣuṣaḥ — those who have the eyes of knowledge.
The modes of material nature cast a spell and pushes to embrace false identity and false enjoyment. Hari trpti karya is the only way to come out of this spell. Spell can lead to forgetfullness. Are you under the spell - everyone is under the spell of mayadevi;
Persons who are everlastingly fooled by lust and desire lose all power to understand their change of body and their stay in a particular body
They cannot comprehend it. Those who have developed spiritual knowledge, however, can see that the spirit is different from the body and is changing its body and enjoying in different ways.
A person in such knowledge can understand how the conditioned living entity is suffering in this material existence
Its not about career, money fame etc....its about coming out of the spell. world is full of struggle(karsati) and miseries(dukhalaya). Drop the desire to be happy in this platform by Jnana cakshu. Karshati and dukha is the dharma of this world.
Therefore those who are highly developed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness try their best to give this knowledge to the people in general, for their conditional life is very much troublesome.
