True peace comes from recognizing Krishna as supreme enjoyer, proprietor, and friend of all beings.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.1.3 — March 18, 1974, Vṛndāvana 740318SB-VRNDAVAN [35:39 Minutes] SB-02.01.03_740318SB-VRNDAVAN Pradyumna: Translation: "The lifetime of such envious householders is passed at night either in sleeping or in sex indulgence, and in the daytime either in making money or maintaining family members." Prabhupāda: Hmm. So somebody of you can lecture on this verse. Who will do that? Anyone?
Hmm? Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: nidrayā hriyate naktaṁ vyavāyena ca vā vayaḥ divā cārthehayā rājan kuṭumba-bharaṇena vā [SB 2.1.3] Prabhupāda: [aside:] So somebody's there? The door is closed? There is somebody?
Prabhupāda: Oh, that's all... Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: So it's described that such is the life of such envious householders. So in previous verses householders were described: gṛheṣu gṛha-medhinām [SB 2.1.2]. So these gṛhamedhis, they're described as being envious.
And so this enviousness means that they do not accept that Kṛṣṇa is the supreme enjoyer. And because they do not accept this, they falsely think themselves to be the enjoyer. But this is not actually the position of the tiny living entities. Tiny living entities are described in Bhagavad-gītā as being parā-prakṛti, prakṛti-viddhi me param [Bg. 7.5].
We are not puruṣa, or the enjoyer, but we are actually prakṛti. We are meant to be enjoyed by Kṛṣṇa. So this is a relationship which exists eternally. But in the material world, bcause we falsely identify ourselves as being separate from Kṛṣṇa, as being this material body, then we try to lord over material nature in so many ways, but simply we are becoming more and more frustrated. So the activities of people who are envious, they are simply trying to enjoy.
Nidrayā: sleeping. Hriyate naktaṁ vyavāyena ca vā vayaḥ [SB 2.1.3]. Also, they are having sex life at night. Or during the daytime, divā cārthehayā rājan, they are also trying to accumulate wealth in order to maintain their family members.
This also important, because in the material world, actually no one is maintaining anyone else, but actually it is Kṛṣṇa; He is maintaining everybody. Janma jyasta tāhā[?]. He is maintaining everyone and everything. But because we are envious that Kṛṣṇa is the supreme proprietor, sarva-loka-maheśvaram [Bg. 5.29], that He is the owner of everything, they also, they try to become owners.
