Only surrender to Krishna's service ends suffering; all material remedies create more trouble than peace.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Dayānanda: Translation: "O the great Supreme, in every type of body, either in the heavenly planet or in the hellish planet, there are pleasing and not pleasing circumstances on account of combination and separation. But both of them are very, very regrettable position, as if burning in the fire. Although there are many remedial measures to get out of the miserable condition of life, but in the material world any such counteraction is more miserable than the miserable condition itself. The only remedial measure, I think, therefore, is to be engaged in Your service.
Kindly instruct me in that way." Prabhupāda: yasmāt priya apriya-viyoga-saṁyoga-janmaśokāgninā sakala-yoniṣu dahyamānaḥ duḥkhauṣadhaṁ tad api duḥkham atad-dhiyāhaṁ bhūman bhramāmi vada me tava dāsya-yogam [SB 7.9.16] Prahlāda Mahārāja, previous verse, he said, "I am very much afraid of this material existentional condition," duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam [Bg 8.15]. Now he's describing what is the different phases of such suffering, yasmāt, on account of this material existence. When we come to this material world there are connections with so many persons, bhūtāpta-pitṛṇām, nṛṇām. [SB 11.5.41] As soon as we come down from the womb of the mother, there are so many relatives, friends, bhūta-āpta, pitṛ, bhūtāpta, bhūtāpta, ṛṣi, pitṛṇām nṛṇām.
We become connected. But some of them are dear and some of them are not very friendly—enemies. This is the condition in the material world. Nobody can say that "I am situated in a very nice condition.
Everyone is my friend. No enemy." It is not possible. That is the nature of this material world, that you come in contact with so many persons, animals, and suppose your forefathers... It is described, bhūtāpta-nṛṇām pitṛṇām.
So we get connections. This is the way of nature. But not all of them are friendly. Even one is friendly today, tomorrow he can become enemy.
This is the condition. So yasmāt priyāpriya-viyoga-saṁyoga-janma. Viyoga-saṁyoga-janma. As soon as one child is born, he is separated from the former life, and he is connected with another new life, new body, viyoga-samyoga. Maybe the former body was very pleasing, and this body is not very pleasing, degraded.
That is possible. Dehāntara-prāptiḥ [Bg 2.13]. It is not that you'll always get a body very pleasing. But the illusory energy is so strong, even one gets the body of a pig, he thinks, "It is very nice." This is called prakṣepātmikā-śakti.
