    यः स्वात्मनीदं निजमाययार्पितं क्वचिद्विभातं क्व च तत्तिरोहितम् । अविद्धदृक्साक्ष्युभयं तदीक्षते स आत्ममूलोऽवतु मां परात्परः ॥ ८-३-४ ॥yaH svAtmanIdaM nijamAyayArpitaM kvacidvibhAtaM kva ca tattirohitam । aviddhadRksAkSyubhayaM tadIkSate sa AtmamUlo'vatu mAM parAtparaH ॥ 8-3-4 ॥The Supreme Personality of Godhead, by expanding His own energy, keeps this cosmic manifestation visible and again sometimes renders it invisible. He is both the supreme cause and the supreme result, the observer and the witness, in all circumstances. Thus He is transcendental to everything. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead give me protection. ॥ 8-3-4 ॥

The Haryaśvas understood this analogy.॥ The Supreme Lord is the reservoir of the twenty-five elements, and as the Supreme Being, the conductor of cause and effect, He causes their manifestation. If one engages in temporary fruitive activities, not knowing that Supreme Person, what benefit will he derive? ॥ 6-5-17 ॥

I am enclosed in a potlike universe composed of material nature, the total material energy, false ego, ether, air, water and earth. And what is Your glory? Unlimited universes pass through the pores of Your body just as particles of dust pass through the openings of a screened window. ॥ 10-14-11 ॥

The Haryaśvas understood this as follows.॥ If one becomes the husband of a prostitute, he loses all independence. Similarly, if a living entity has polluted intelligence, he prolongs his materialistic life. Frustrated by material nature, he must follow the movements of the intelligence, which brings various conditions of happiness and distress. If one performs fruitive activities under such conditions, what will be the benefit? ॥ 6-5-15 ॥

Nonetheless, He is different from the cause and the result. I surrender unto Him, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is self-sufficient in everything. ॥ 8-3-3 ॥

The Haryaśvas understood the identity of this woman.॥ Mixed with the mode of passion, the unsteady intelligence of every living entity is like a prostitute who changes dresses just to attract one’s attention. If one fully engages in temporary fruitive activities, not understanding how this is taking place, what does he actually gain? ॥ 6-5-14 ॥

The Haryaśvas understood the meaning of this allegory.॥ Hardly once has a person who has entered the lower planetary system called Pātāla been seen to return. Similarly, if one enters the Vaikuṇṭha-dhāma ॥ pratyag-dhāma॥, he does not return to this material world. If there is such a place, from which, having gone, one does not return to the miserable material condition of life, what is the use of jumping like monkeys in the temporary material world and not seeing or understanding that place? What will be the profit? ॥ 6-5-13 ॥

The Haryaśvas realized the purport of this statement.॥ The only enjoyer is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who observes everything, everywhere. He is full of six opulences and fully independent of everyone else. He is never subject to the three modes of material nature, for He is always transcendental to this material creation. If the members of human society do not understand Him, the Supreme, through their advancement in knowledge and activities, but simply work very hard like cats and dogs all day and night for temporary happiness, what will be the benefit of their activities? ॥ 6-5-12 ॥

    भूः क्षेत्रं जीवसंज्ञं यदनादि निजबन्धनम् । अदृष्ट्वा तस्य निर्वाणं किमसत्कर्मभिर्भवेत् ॥ ६-५-११ ॥bhUH kSetraM jIvasaMjJaM yadanAdi nijabandhanam । adRSTvA tasya nirvANaM kimasatkarmabhirbhavet ॥ 6-5-11 ॥॥ The Haryaśvas understood the meaning of Nārada’s words as follows.॥ The word “bhūḥ” ॥ “the earth”॥ refers to the field of activities. The material body, which is a result of the living being’s actions, is his field of activities, and it gives him false designations. Since time immemorial, he has received various types of material bodies, which are the roots of bondage to the material world. If one foolishly engages in temporary fruitive activities and does not look toward the cessation of this bondage, what will be the benefit of his actions? ॥ 6-5-11 ॥
