duḥkham - unhappiness due to impious activities; sukham - happiness due to pious activities; vyatiriktam - illusion; ca - also; tÄ«vram - very severe; kÄla-upapannam - obtained in the course of time; phalam - the resultant action; Ävyanakti - creates; Äliá¹…gya - embracing; mÄyÄ-racita - created by material nature; antaḥ-ÄtmÄ - the mind; sva-dehinam - the living being himself; saá¹sá¹›ti - of the actions and reactions of material existence; cakra-kÅ«á¹aḥ - which deceives the living entity into the wheel.
The materialistic mind covering the living entity’s soul carries it to different species of life. This is called continued material existence. Due to the mind, the living entity suffers or enjoys material distress and happiness. Being thus illusioned, the mind further creates pious and impious activities and their karma, and thus the soul becomes conditioned.
Mental activities under the influence of material nature cause happiness and distress within the material world. Being covered by illusion, the living entity eternally continues conditioned life under different designations. Such living entities are known as nitya-baddha, eternally conditioned. On the whole, the mind is the cause of conditioned life; therefore the entire yogic process is meant to control the mind and the senses. If the mind is controlled, the senses are automatically controlled, and therefore the soul is saved from the reactions of pious and impious activity. If the mind is engaged at the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa (sa vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padÄravindayoḥ), the senses are automatically engaged in the Lord’s service. When the mind and senses are engaged in devotional service, the living entity naturally becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious. As soon as one always thinks of Kṛṣṇa, he becomes a perfect yogÄ«, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (yoginÄm api sarveá¹£Äá¹ mad-gatenÄntarÄtmanÄ). This antarÄtmÄ, the mind, is conditioned by material nature. As stated here, mÄyÄ-racitÄntarÄtmÄ sva-dehinaá¹ saá¹sá¹›ti-cakra-kÅ«á¹aḥ: the mind, being most powerful, covers the living entity and puts him in the waves of material existence.
