Text 2] The Forest of Enjoyment 7
auspicious. Apart from human beings, other species like cats and dogs
are also struggling very hard day and night for existence. Thus the
struggle for existence continues, and the conditioned soul changes from
one position to another. For a while, he is a child, but he has to become a
boy. From a boy, he has to change into a youth, and from youth to man-
hood and old age. Finally, when the body is no longer workable, he has to
accept a new body in a different species. Giving up the body is called
death, and accepting another body is called birth. The human form is an
opportunity to take shelter of the bona fide spiritual master and. through
him, the Supreme Lord. This Krsna consciousness movement has been
started to give an opportunity to all the members of human society. who
are misled by foolish leaders. No one can get out of this struggle for exis-
tence, which is full of miseries, without accepting a pure devotee of the
Lord. The material attempt changes from one position to another, and no
one actually gains relief from the struggle for existence. The only resort
is the lotus feet of a bona fide spiritual master. and. through him, the
lotus feet of the Lord.
