Student. So it is our desire to enjoy that causes us to take on these material bodies, and our desire to achieve Krsna that brings us to our natural position?
Srila Prabhupäda. Yes.
Dr. Singh. But there seems to be a constant struggle with our lower nature. We are constantly fighting our desires for sense gratification, even though we want to serve Krsna. Does this continue?
Student. The body is almost like a dictator from within.
Srila Prabhupäda. Yes. That means you are strongly under the control of material energy, or mäyä.
