Purport

The Supreme Personality of Godhead has innumerable energies, and all these energies are divine. Although the living entities are part of His energies and are therefore divine, due to contact with material energy their original superior power is covered. Being thus covered by material energy, one cannot possibly overcome its influence. As previously stated, both the material and spiritual natures, being emanations from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, are eternal. The living entities belong to the eternal superior nature of the Lord, but due to contamination by the inferior nature, matter, their illusion is also eternal. The conditioned soul is therefore called nitya-baddha, or eternally conditioned. No one can trace out the history of his becoming conditioned at a certain date in material history. Consequently, his release from the clutches of material nature is very difficult, even though that material nature is an inferior energy, because material energy is ultimately conducted by the supreme will, which the living entity cannot overcome. Inferior, material nature is defined herein as divine nature due to its divine connection and movement by the divine will. Being conducted by divine will, material nature, although inferior, acts so wonderfully in the construction and destruction of the cosmic manifestation. The Vedas confirm this as follows: māyāṁ tu prakṛtiṁ vidyān māyinaṁ tu maheśvaram. “Although māyā [illusion] is false or temporary, the background of māyā is the supreme magician, the Personality of Godhead, who is Maheśvara, the supreme controller.” (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 4.10)

SMISAO: Svevišnja Božanska Osoba ima bezbroj energija i sve su one božanske. Iako su živa bića, kao dio Gospodinove energije, božanska, zbog dodira s materijalnom energijom njihova izvorna, viša moć biva prekrivena. Onaj tko je prekriven materijalnom energijom ne može nadići njezin utjecaj. Kao što je već bilo rečeno, i materijalna i duhovna priroda su vječne, jer su emanacije Svevišnje Božanske Osobe. Živa bića pripadaju Gospodinovoj višoj vječnoj prirodi, ali njihova je iluzija također vječna, jer su okužena nižom prirodom, materijom. Uvjetovana se duša zato naziva nitya-baddha, vječno uvjetovana. Nitko ne može utvrditi u kojem je trenutku materijalne povijesti postala uvjetovana. Iako je materijalna priroda niža energija, duša se teško može osloboditi okova materijalne prirode, jer njome upravlja vrhovna volja, koju živo biće ne može nadići. Niža, materijalna priroda ovdje se naziva božanskom zato što je povezana s božanskim i zato što djeluje po božanskoj volji. Premda je materijalna priroda niža energija, pod upravom božanske volje čudesno stvara i uništava kozmičko očitovanje. Vede to potvrđuju: māyāṁ tu prakṛtiṁ vidyān māyinaṁ tu maheśvaram. „Iako je māyā (iluzija) nestvarna ili privremena, iza nje stoji vrhunski mađioničar, Božanska Osoba, koja je vrhovni upravitelj, Maheśvara." (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣada 4.10)

Another meaning of guṇa is rope; it is to be understood that the conditioned soul is tightly tied by the ropes of illusion. A man bound by the hands and feet cannot free himself – he must be helped by a person who is unbound. Because the bound cannot help the bound, the rescuer must be liberated. Therefore, only Lord Kṛṣṇa, or His bona fide representative the spiritual master, can release the conditioned soul. Without such superior help, one cannot be freed from the bondage of material nature. Devotional service, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, can help one gain such release. Kṛṣṇa, being the Lord of the illusory energy, can order this insurmountable energy to release the conditioned soul. He orders this release out of His causeless mercy on the surrendered soul and out of His paternal affection for the living entity, who is originally a beloved son of the Lord. Therefore surrender unto the lotus feet of the Lord is the only means to get free from the clutches of the stringent material nature.

Drugo je značenje riječi guṇa uže. Trebamo shvatiti da je uvjetovana duša čvrsto vezana užadima iluzije. Čovjek kome su ruke i noge vezane ne može se sam osloboditi – mora mu pomoći netko tko nije vezan. Budući da vezan ne može pomoći vezanom, izbavitelj mora biti oslobođen. Stoga samo Gospodin Kṛṣṇa ili Njegov vjerodostojni predstavnik, duhovni učitelj, mogu osloboditi uvjetovanu dušu. Bez takve pomoći živo se biće ne može osloboditi spona materijalne prirode. Predano služenje, svjesnost Kṛṣṇe, može mu pomoći da dostigne takvo oslobođenje. Kṛṣṇa, kao gospodar iluzorne energije, može toj nesavladivoj energiji narediti da oslobodi uvjetovanu dušu. On to naređuje iz Svoje bezuzročne milosti prema predanoj duši i očinske ljubavi prema živom biću, koje je izvorno Gospodinov voljeni sin. Stoga je predavanje Gospodinovim lotosolikim stopalima jedini način na koji se možemo osloboditi okova stroge materijalne prirode.

The words mām eva are also significant. Mām means unto Kṛṣṇa (Viṣṇu) only, and not Brahmā or Śiva. Although Brahmā and Śiva are greatly elevated and are almost on the level of Viṣṇu, it is not possible for such incarnations of rajo-guṇa (passion) and tamo-guṇa (ignorance) to release the conditioned soul from the clutches of māyā. In other words, both Brahmā and Śiva are also under the influence of māyā. Only Viṣṇu is the master of māyā; therefore He alone can give release to the conditioned soul. The Vedas (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 3.8) confirm this in the phrase tam eva viditvā, or “Freedom is possible only by understanding Kṛṣṇa.” Even Lord Śiva affirms that liberation can be achieved only by the mercy of Viṣṇu. Lord Śiva says, mukti-pradātā sarveṣāṁ viṣṇur eva na saṁśayaḥ: “There is no doubt that Viṣṇu is the deliverer of liberation for everyone.”

Riječi mām eva također su važne. Mām znači samo Kṛṣṇi (Viṣṇuu), a ne Brahmi ili Śivi. Premda Brahmā i Śiva zauzimaju visoke položaje i nalaze se na gotovo istoj razini kao Viṣṇu, takve inkarnacije rajo-guṇe (strasti) i tamo-guṇe (neznanja) ne mogu osloboditi uvjetovanu dušu okova māye. Drugim riječima, i Brahmā i Śiva podložni su utjecaju māye. Samo je Viṣṇu gospodar māye. Stoga samo On može osloboditi uvjetovanu dušu. Vede (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣada 3.8) to potvrđuju izrekom tam eva viditvā, koja znači „sloboda se dostiže samo razumijevanjem Kṛṣṇe". Čak i Śiva potvrđuje da se oslobođenje može dostići samo milošću Viṣṇua. Śiva kaže – mukti-pradātā sarveṣāṁ viṣṇur eva na saṁśayaḥ: „Viṣṇu daje oslobođenje svim živim bićima. U to nema sumnje."
