When a man's lusty desire is very strong, he commits, what is called, rape, and he becomes complicated in criminal activities. Kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajo-guṇa-samudbhavaḥ (BG 3.37). Why one is forced to do that? The cause is lusty desires, anger, greediness. So we are thinking we are master of this material world, but actually you are servant of these desires, kāma, krodha, lobha, mohaḥ. And that is māyā.

Prabhupāda: He is not destroyed. When this body cannot work any more. . . Because this body is a machine. So a machine, if he does not move, then you have to change to another machine.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: The desire is not. . . Actually it is not burned; it just changed. The desire is changed to. . . for a higher purpose. We have a choice between the subtle desires. Just change is there from one to another.

Prabhupāda: No, the same example: just like in a motorcar you desire to go this side, but the machine is stopped, so you have to accept another motorcar. It is like that, to fulfill your desire. After all, it is a machine. Machine is matter. So it has got a time to work. When it is not working, then you change to another machine to fulfill your desire.

Gurudāsa: If God, Kṛṣṇa, desires the motorcar to turn right, what makes the car turn left?

Prabhupāda: Not Kṛṣṇa desires. You desire. Kṛṣṇa helps you. Kṛṣṇa desires you give up all this nonsense and surrender to Him. Only He desires that. But if you don't do, you will desire so many things.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: It remains a mystery to great thinkers that though the soul is pure by nature and transcendental, but somehow it is trapped in the subtle and gross body and. . .

Prabhupāda: Because he desired. Kṛṣṇa bhuliya jīva bhoga vañchā kare (Prema-vivarta). When he wants to enjoy this material world. . . In the spiritual world there is only one enjoyer. And in the material world everyone is a enjoyer. He is planning in his own way how to enjoy. That is material world. In the spiritual world the enj . . . is Kṛṣṇa, and all other is helping in His enjoyment. But in material world everyone is thinking, "I am enjoyer," and he is planning in his own way.

Devotee (1): Śrīla Prabhupāda, modern philosophy is teaching that the forces of greed and lust and these things are greater than man. That actually. . . This concept that we are eternal, full of knowledge and bliss - they cannot accept that or understand that. They're thinking that the powers of evil are much greater, and we're just controlled by these things.

Prabhupāda: Therefore they are fools. When a man's lusty desire is very strong, he commits, what is called, rape, and he becomes complicated in criminal activities. Kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajo-guṇa-samudbhavaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 3.37 (1972)|BG 3.37]]). Why one is forced to do that? The cause is lusty desires, anger, greediness. So we are thinking we are master of this material world, but actually you are servant of these desires, kāma, krodha, lobha, mohaḥ. And that is māyā. He is acting as servant, but he's thinking, "I am master." That is māyā, which is not the fact. Just like yesterday we were discussing that the women, they are acting as instrument of men, and they are thinking, "We have equal rights." A man is utilizing her for his own purpose, and she is thinking, "I am equal."

Ravīndra-svarūpa: I think you really surprised them when you told them that this women's liberation is just a trick by the men just to increase the class of prostitutes, available prostitutes.

Prabhupāda: Free prostitutes. You go to a prostitute, you have to pay. Here they have arranged in such a way that free prostitute loitering on the street, and you can enjoy any one. This is their plan. They are rendered into beggar, and they are thinking equal rights.
