As soon as he comes out, then māyā is there. Māyā is there, and there is father, there is mother, nice child. Now the child thinks, "I am very happy. I have got such a nice father. Nice father, nice mother. And other friends, they are taking . . ." This . . . these are described by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura in a song.

When one becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious by the grace of the Supreme Personality, guru-kṛṣṇa, by the grace of guru and Kṛṣṇa, then he understands that this place, this material world, is full of miseries. Then brahma-jijñāsā. But foolishly, people do not understand that it is a miserable condition. Sanātana Gosvāmī, he was minister. By contact with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu he could understand that "Although I am minister, although I am holding very high, exalted position, I am learned scholar in Sanskrit, Urdu, Parsi, but I am not happy." Therefore he approached Caitanya Mahāprabhu, ke āmi kene āmāya jāre tāpa . . . He understands that, "I am in the suffering." Suffering, everyone can understand. Why you are moving the fan? "I am in suffering." But foolish people cannot understand. They think that "I am enjoying." (laughter) Just see the example. Why I am moving the fan? Because I am suffering. Every step. Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadām (SB 10.14.58). Every step danger, every step suffering.

But on being illusioned, moha . . . it is called moha. Janasya moho 'yam ahaṁ mameti (SB 5.5.8). "I am this," "I am brāhmaṇa," "I am kṣatriya," "I am American." Aham. False identification. "I am very strong," "I am very beautiful," "I am very ugly," "I am poor," "I am rich." Janasya moho 'yam ahaṁ mameti. But you are none of these. You are simply servant of Kṛṣṇa. Jīvera svarūpa haya nitya-kṛṣṇa-dāsa (CC Madhya 20.108-109). This is happiness. Otherwise, in whichever way you identify . . . even they're iden . . . when they fail to identify with all this nonsense then, "I am God. I am Nārāyaṇa." This will not help. When one will understand that, "I am servant, eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa . . ." This question was put by Sanātana Gosvāmī: ke āmi kene āmāya jāre tāpa-traya.

But foolish people, they do not understand what is tāpa-traya, although we are suffering, everyone. This is tāpa-traya. Just like we are feeling very warm. This is one of the traya. It is called adhidaivika. You cannot check it. Similarly, when you will feel severe cold, you will wrap, you'll go to the fireplace. That is another suffering. So either in warmth or in, I mean to say, winter, you are suffering. Everyone is suffering. Suffering is there. Even when we are within the womb of the mother there is suffering—for ten months, packed-up condition. That is suffering. Then come out from the womb of the mother—suffering. In the womb also there is suffering. Not only packed-up, but there are worms with the stool and urine of the mother, and they find very delicate skin. They enjoy by cutting him. The worms enjoy. Naturally, he's . . . he cannot move. Therefore at the seventh month, when he's little conscious, he feels, "How can I get out of . . .? Kṛṣṇa, save me." If one is little pious, he prays to Kṛṣṇa, "Kṛṣṇa, this time save me. Now I shall begin worshiping You so that get out of this entanglement of birth and death, birth and death." He becomes conscious.

But as soon as he comes out, then māyā is there. Māyā is there, and there is father, there is mother, nice child. Now the child thinks, "I am very happy. I have got such a nice father. Nice father, nice mother. And other friends, they are taking . . ." This . . . these are described by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura in a song.
