and is not concerned with the bodily functions. Although the Lord is con-
nected with the material world, He is always situated in His spiritual energy
and is always unattached to the functions of the material world. As far as
the material body is concerned, there are six “‘waves” or symptomatic ma-
terial conditions: hunger, thirst, lamentation, bewilderment, old age and
death. The liberated soul is never concerned with these six physical interac-
tions. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, being the all-powerful master
of all energies, has some connection with the external energy, but He is al-
ways free from the interactions of the external energy in the material
world.

TRANSLATION

The planet earth continued: My dear Lord, You are the complete con-
ductor of the material creation. You have created this cosmic manifestation
and the three material qualities, and therefore You have created me, the
planet earth, the resting place of all living entities. Yet You are always fully
independent, my Lord. Now that You are present before me and ready to
kill me with Your weapons, let me know where I should go to take shelter,
and tell me who can give me protection.
