Prabhupada: This is significant. Those who are Krsna conscious, they have no material desires. Finished. Brahmany upasamasrayam. Upasama, upasama means completely finished, don't want. They can worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Otherwise, without being akama ... Akama means no material desires. Anyabhilasita-sunyam [BRS 1.1.11], completely. If we have got least desire for material enjoyment, Krsna will give us chance again to accept a body which will satisfy the senses. Deha-yogena dehinam. For our sense gratification, a particular type of body is offered. By the order of Krsna, through the agency of material nature. Just like father gives the seed, and the mother gives the body, similarly, Krsna, the supreme father, He is the giver of the seed, living entity, and according to the living entity's desire, the material nature gives the body. Therefore material nature is mother, and Krsna is the supreme father. Tasmin garbham dadamy aham. Garbham dadamy aham: "I give the seed, garbha, pregnancy."
