According to karma. One is intelligent enough, he can do things very nicely, he's getting more money. So field is open for everyone. It is not the government is giving a special facility for somebody, and he's becoming rich, and another man is forbidden to use the government facilities, therefore he's becoming poor. No. It is not that. Government is giving facilities everyone equally. You become educated, you become high-court judge. And if you become criminal, then go to jail. So similarly, God, He's equal to everyone. Samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu (BG 9.29). There is no discrimination. How He can be God? God has not made all these different types of bodies. You have made; we have made. I want to become a dog, God has given me facilities, "Take this dog's body." Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni . . . (BG 3.27). He immediately orders material nature, "Give him a dog's body." That's all.

God is so kind, whatever you want, He is giving you. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham (BG 4.11). "Whatever you want, you take." He has given you full liberty. Because we have come to this material world to enjoy. Enjoy means sense gratification. And sense gratification standard is according to the body. A king's body, his sense gratification, and a hog's body, his sense gratification, they are different, because the bodies are different. A king cannot take anything which is not very nicely prepared, and a hog is satisfied with stool. Why? A different body. Deha-yogena dehinām (SB 7.6.3). There are . . .

The whole thing is sense gratification. Here, anyone who has come . . . Indriyārtha artha-vādinaḥ. Their only aim is sense gratification, that's all, anyone, beginning from Brahmā down to the ant. Material life means a desire for sense gratification. They're fallen because they wanted to gratify their senses. They cannot remain in Vaikuṇṭha world. In the Vaikuṇṭha world, only the one, the Supreme Lord, His senses should be satisfied, not anyone's else. That is called bhakti.

The process is sense gratification, but if you want your sense gratification, that is material. And if you want to satisfy Kṛṣṇa's sense gratification, then you are spiritual. So anyone who wants to gratify his senses, personal, he is pushed here, in this material world. Now, according to different karma, you create your field. Just like ordinarily, everyone is working in Los Angeles hard, day and night, but somebody's poor man, somebody's rich man. Why?

According to karma. One is intelligent enough, he can do things very nicely, he's getting more money. So field is open for everyone. It is not the government is giving a special facility for somebody, and he's becoming rich, and another man is forbidden to use the government facilities, therefore he's becoming poor. No. It is not that. Government is giving facilities everyone equally. You become educated, you become high-court judge. And if you become criminal, then go to jail.

So similarly, God, He's equal to everyone. Samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu (BG 9.29). There is no discrimination. How He can be God? God has not made all these different types of bodies. You have made; we have made. I want to become a dog, God has given me facilities, "Take this dog's body." Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni . . . (BG 3.27). He immediately orders material nature, "Give him a dog's body." That's all. If I want to have a tiger's body, nature will give me, "Take, tiger's body." So it depends on my work, sva-karmabhiḥ. But either I'll have a tiger's body or dog's body or a Brahmā's body or ant's body, all of us are fallen, patita. Patita. Patita means fallen. Because this is not the proper life. You'll have to change. Sometimes you are Brahmā, sometimes you are hog. Up and down. Up and down.
