himself very clever throughout his life if he is able to leave behind him a
great asset of wealth for his children, and to achieve this temporary
benefit he takes the risk of all sinful activities, without knowledge that

bondage. Due to this polluted mentality and due to material sins, the
aggregate combination of living entities appeared to be bluish. Such an
impetus of activity for fruitive result is made possible by the dictation of
the external energy of the Lord, kala.
