	She has taken a thankless task to punish persons who are godless, that's all. So ''Māyā'' as it is, it is not that she is out of touch of Kṛṣṇa. Vaiṣṇavī. In the Caṇḍī, in the book of ''Māyā'', it is stated that "Vaiṣṇavī." The ''Māyā'' is described as Vaiṣṇavī. Just like pure devotee is called Vaiṣṇava, she is also described there as Vaiṣṇavī.

	As soon as our original consciousness becomes polluted with the consciousness of material enjoyment that, "I want to lord it over the resources of matter . . ." As soon as we turn our consciousness in this way, then our troubles begin. Immediately ''māyā''. This very consciousness that, "I can enjoy this material world to my best capacity . . ." Everyone is trying to do that.		As soon as our original consciousness becomes polluted with the consciousness of material enjoyment that, "I want to lord it over the resources of matter . . ."

	So much sensuous that it has no discrimination who is mother, who is sister, or who is this or who is that. This is practical, you'll see. The dogs and hogs, they are like that. In human society also there are many who don't care who is mother, who is sister or who is this. The senses are so strong. And this is our cause of all miseries. Try to understand.

In human society also there are many who don't care who is mother, who is sister or who is this. The senses are so strong. And this is our cause of all miseries. Try to understand.

	The threefold miseries that we are suffering, that we are trying to make a solution, is due to this dictation of the senses. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is there. Kṛṣṇa is there. His name is Madana-mohana. If you try to transfer your love from sense to Kṛṣṇa, then you see the result. Immediately you'll find. ''Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.2.234).

	So this false endeavor that, "I want to be master of all I survey," "I am the monarch of all I survey," this attitude should be given up. Every one of us is constitutionally servant. Now, at the present moment, we are servant of the senses. Now, this servitorship should be changed to Kṛṣṇa only. ''Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ''.

	Similarly everything . . . in the higher sense there is no existence of matter; it is only illusion. Just like this morning I was giving the instance of the sun and the fog. The fog was there; the sun could not be seen. The foolish person will say that, "There is no sun. It is simply fog." But intelligent person will say that "Sun is there, but the fog has covered our eyes. We cannot see the sun."

But intelligent person will say that "Sun is there, but the fog has covered our eyes. We cannot see the sun."

	Similarly, actually, everything being energy of Kṛṣṇa, there is nothing material. Simply our this mentality that we want to lord it over, that is false, illusion. That is covering our relationship with Kṛṣṇa. So that you will gradually understand. ''Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ'' (''Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu'' 1.2.234).

	As you make progress in the service attitude, everything will become cleared, how your energy has become spiritualized.		As you make progress in the service attitude, everything will become cleared, how your energy has become spiritualized.

This is simple truth.

	So that rebellious attitude is called ''māyā''. Anyone who is declaring that, "There is no God," "God is dead," "I am God," "You are God," they're all under the spell of ''māyā. Piśācī pāile yena mati-cchanna haya'' (''Prema-vivarta'' 1).		So that rebellious attitude is called ''māyā''.

	Just like when a man is ghost-haunted, he speaks all kinds of nonsense. So all these persons are haunted by ''māyā'', and therefore they are saying: "God is dead," "I am God," "Why you are searching God everywhere? There are so many Gods loitering in the street." They're all ghost-haunted, deranged.		Just like when a man is ghost-haunted, he speaks all kinds of nonsense.

They're all ghost-haunted, deranged.

	So we have to cure them by this transcendental vibration, Hare Kṛṣṇa. This is the curing process only. Simply let them hear, and they'll gradually be cured. Just like a man who is sleeping very sound, you cry by the side of his ear and he awakes. So this is the mantra to awake the sleeping human society. ''Uttiṣṭha uttiṣṭhata jāgrata prāpya varān nibodhata'' (''Kaṭha Upaniṣad'' 1.3.14).		So we have to cure them by this transcendental vibration, Hare Kṛṣṇa. This is the curing process only.

	The Vedas says: "O human race, please get up. Don't sleep any more. You have got this opportunity of human body. Utilize it. Get yourself out of the clutches of ''māyā''." This is the declaration of Vedas. So you are doing that job. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and they'll be cured.		The Vedas says: "O human race, please get up. Don't sleep any more.
