Prabhupāda: This is the position of the asura. This is the characteristic of the asuras. They are under stringent laws of nature, being kicked every moment, and still they are declaring, "There is no God. I'm independent. I'm independent." Every moment he's dying, and still he thinks, "I shall live forever." This is asura. Pravṛttiṁ ca nivṛttiṁ ca (BG 16.7). So this is required, pravṛtti and nivṛtti, to know. Indian man (4): What is pravṛtti? Dr. Patel: Pravṛtti means overstepping God.

Prabhupāda: They are being kicked by māyā every moment, but because they are fool, they say: "I'm not surrendered." This is . . . in Bengali is called Behaya, behaya. (Shameless, shameless.) No, no . . . shameless. He's being kicked every moment, but he's so shameless that he's declared, "I'm independent. I'm independent." Shameless. Khud juta kha raha hai, tab bhi bolta hai hum kisi ko manta nahi. (He is getting kicked at every moment, still he is declaring that he does not care for anyone.)

Dr. Patel: Just like those dogs . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. This is the position of the asura. This is the characteristic of the asuras. They are under stringent laws of nature, being kicked every moment, and still they are declaring, "There is no God. I'm independent. I'm independent." Every moment he's dying, and still he thinks, "I shall live forever." This is asura. Pravṛttiṁ ca nivṛttiṁ ca ([[Vanisource:BG 16.7 (1972)|BG 16.7]]). So this is required, pravṛtti and nivṛtti, to know.

Indian man (4): What is pravṛtti?

Dr. Patel: Pravṛtti means overstepping God.

Prabhupāda: Pravṛtti means inclination for doing something. That is called pravṛtti.
