Srila Prabhupada, Bombay, October 11, 1973: […] Adrsta means that which you can not see, but it has been fixed up by superior intelligence, that this much you will get. Therefore we see so many divisions of status; one man is working very hard day and night, but it is very difficult for him to collect even so much money that [he] can eat nicely. Because the body is made for that.

Similarly, another man, born with silver spoon in the mouth. He hasn’t got to try very much, but he gets his money quickly, very quickly. Therefore the Bhagavata says, that, “Don’t waste your time for so-called happiness and distress. Don’t waste your time. Because you are already destined to receive a standard of happiness and distress.” You cannot change it. But you can change your consciousness. That is possible. But you cannot change your material position.

The modern people, they do not know. They do not know it that material condition cannot be changed. Take, for example, the pig. His body is meant for eating stool. So you cannot induce him to eat halava. They cannot. He’ll not accept it.

Because the body is made like that. But in the human form, if we change our consciousness, then we become, we can revive our original status. Original status means eternal life of blissfulness and knowledge. That is the original life. Sac-cid-ananda-vigrahah [Bs. 5.1]. So that Supersoul is always helping us as friend. Therefore here it is said, avibhaktam ca bhutesu. Avibhaktam ca bhutesu vibhaktam iva ca sthitam. The Supersoul appears like an individual soul. He is staying as friend. Full Lecture
