There are two kinds of living entities.
1. ever-liberated, unconditioned living beings
2. ever-conditioned living beings. Of the ever-conditioned living beings, there are two divisions.
A. faithful - Of the faithful there are again two divisions
1. devotees (the devotees of the Lord desire to keep separate identities and constantly engage in the service of the Lord)
2. mental speculators ( desire to merge into the existence of the Lord, or to become one with the Lord)
B. infidels.
The devotees who are not fully purified, as well as the empiric philosophers, become conditioned again during the next creation for further purification. Such conditioned souls become liberated by further progress of devotional service to the Lord.
There are, however, two classes of living entities, who act in two different ways. The Supreme Lord keeps on His neck those living entities who are pure, as one protects the jewels and pearls on the bosom and neck of one’s body. Those living entities in pure Krsna consciousness are symbolized by the pearls on His neck. Those who are demons and are inimical towards the pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are punished by His mace, which is always smeared with the blood of such fallen living entities.
The club of the Lord is very dear to Him because He uses this instrument to smash the bodies of the demons and mix their blood. As mud is kneaded with water and earth, so the earthly bodies of the enemies of the Lord, or the atheists, are smashed by the club of the Lord, which becomes muddied with the blood of such demons.
