PURPORT
There are eighty four lacs species of living beings beginning from the highest intellectual being Brahma down to the insignificant ant and all of them are enjoying the material world in terms of the desire of the subtle mind and gross material body. The gross material body is based on the conditions of the subtle mind and the senses are created according to the desire of the living being. The Lord as Parmatma helps the living being in getting material happiness because the living being is helpness in all respects to obtain his desired things. He proposes and the Lord disposes. In another sense the living beings are parts and parcels of the Lord. They are therefore one with the Lord. In the Bhagwat Geeta the living beings in all varieties of bodies have been claimed by the Lord as His sons. The sufferings and enjoyments of the sons are indirectly the suffering and enjoyment of the father. Still the father is not in any way affected directly with the sufferings and enjoyment of the sons. He is so kind that He constantly remains with the living being as Parmatma and always tries to convert the living being towards the real happiness.
