The whole world's activity is going on under this impression that "We shall be able to conquer over the material nature." The modern scientific advancement of knowledge is aiming in that way. But it is not possible—because we are not actually the master of the material nature. That is an ignorance. That is an ignorance. We are trying to enjoy the material resources to our best, but that is not possible. That is called illusion.

So this has been explained by Kṛṣṇa to Arjuna that, "This is your . . . this sense of mastering over or lording over the material nature, kāma"—kāma means to enjoy; kāma means enjoy—"that is your formidable enemy, and that formidable enemy is sitting in three places—on your mind, on your intelligence, on your senses." Now, you have to deal with them very tactfully. How? That you have to replace the enemy with Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
