Now the two things are there: the divine characteristic and the demonic characteristic. Both of them are there; now you have to select which one you want. If you actually want to love Kṛṣṇa, then take this divine characteristic. There is no cause of helplessness. You can . . . just like amānitvam. Here it is said, dambhaḥ, adambhitvam. Adambhitvam, without any dambhaḥ. Here it is said, abhayaṁ sattva-saṁśuddhir jñāna-yoga-vyavasthitiḥ (BG 16.1-3). So you can practice this. That is devotional life. You have to practice this. If you want to be divine, your characteristics have to be changed. (break) Here we are busy with the demonic characteristic, dambhaḥ, vimana, darpaḥ, like that. So you can change it. There is no hopelessness. You can . . . simply you have to be praticed, that today you are not a singer . . . singer. But you can become an expert singer if you practice singing.
So things are there. The characteristics are there. Now, if you want to be divine character, then you practice all these things. And if you want to remain a demon, then you go on with your own practice . . . characteristic which you have already got. So it is up to us to become divine or demon. To go back to home, to back to Godhead, is in our own hand. Now we have to practice it.
