Adi-lila, Chapter 6 571
opulence. Lord Krsna appeared and performed many uncommon activities, and
some materialists misunderstood Him, but in His appearance as Lord Caitanya He
did not show much of His opulences, and therefore fewer conditioned souls were
bewildered. Misunderstanding the Lord, many fools consider themselves incarna-
tions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but the result is that after leaving the
material body they enter the species of jackals. Persons who cannot understand the
real significance of an incarnation must attain such lower species of life as punish-
ment. Conditioned souls who are puffed up by false egoism and who try to become
one with the Supreme Lord become Mayavadis.
