This article explores the philosophical understanding that the entire material existence is founded upon this principle, which binds the living entity to the cycle of transmigration. While modern civilization often encourages the unbridled satisfaction of these urges, the Vedic perspective offers a path of regulation and ultimate transcendence through the..."

  • 11:3611:36, 21 December 2025 diff hist +5,156‎ N Transforming Demons' Desires into Spiritual Service ‎ Created page with "The condition of the ''asura'', or demon, is not necessarily eternal condemnation. The Vani of Śrīla Prabhupāda reveals that because every living entity is originally a servant of God, even '''Demons' Desires''' can be purified and transformed. The process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is meant to rectify the rebellious mentality, turning the desire for exploitation into a desire for service. The following sections illustrate how the contact with the Divine can alter t..."
  • 11:3111:31, 21 December 2025 diff hist +6,288‎ N Demons Desire - Immortality in this Temporary World ‎ Created page with "The fundamental illusion of the materialist is the identification of the self with the body. From this ignorance springs the deep-seated '''Demons' Desires''' to achieve immortality within the material sphere. Unlike the devotee who aspires for eternal service in the spiritual sky, the demoniac person wants to make a permanent settlement in a temporary place. Śrīla Prabhupāda analyzes this futility through the histories of powerful demons who tried to cheat death, exp..."

While the divine nature seeks to serve, the demoniac nature seeks to usurp. The '''Demons' Desires''' are rooted in the impossible ambition to compete with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As Śrīla Prabhupāda elucidates, this mentality is not only sinful but inherently futile, as the finite living entity can never measure or conquer the Infinite. The following sections..."

  • 13:5613:56, 20 December 2025 diff hist +6,759‎ N Mechanism of Desiring a Material Body ‎ Created page with "The physical form is the external manifestation of the internal desire. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the process of reincarnation is a strict science governed by the laws of nature. The living entity is the passenger, the body is the vehicle, and the fuel is material desire. This article explores the mechanical arrangement by which the soul wanders through 8,400,000 species, accepting one body after another in a futile attempt to satisfy the senses. <div class="toc..."

While the first three are binding to the material world, the fourth—liberation—is generally considered the goal of the transcendentalists. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda clarifies that on the path of pure devotional service, even the desire for liberation is considered a contamination. This arti..."

In this profound collection of quotes, Śrīla Prabhupāda reveals the internal dynamic of the disciplic succession. He demonstrates that the spiritual master does not act on his own behalf but is a transparent medium for the desires of his predecessors.
