TRANSLATION

Formerly it was explained that the Queen is one’s intelligence. While
one is awake or asleep, that intelligence creates different situations. Being
influenced by contaminated intelligence, the living entity envisions some-
thing and simply imitates the actions and reactions of his intelligence.

PURPORT

The Queen of Puramijana is described herein as intelligence itself. Intelli-
gence acts both in the dream state and in the waking state, but it is con-
taminated by the three modes of material nature. Since the intelligence
is contaminated, the living entity is also contaminated. In the conditioned
state, the living entity acts according to his contaminated intelligence.
Although he simply remains an observer, he nonetheless acts, being forced
by a contaminated intelligence, which in reality is a passive agent.
