So because we have selected this para-tantrya, to be conditioned by the material nature, in any condition we are dependent, either dependent on spiritual nature or on material nature. So if we prefer to be under the control of material nature, then it is duhkhalayam asasvatam [Bg. 8.15]. And if we are under spiritual nature, then... Asango 'yam purusah. Raso vai sah, labdhanandi. Then we get blissful life, eternal blissful life. That is our selection. Either you be under spiritual nature or you be under material nature. That we have got, little independence, as you like. Ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham [Bg. 4.11]. Krsna said. Krsna is very kind. If you want to remain in the material nature and enjoy so-called material sense gratification, then you can have it.
