Because of being covered by material bodies, the conditioned souls, including even greatly learned scholars and falsely educated professors, all think that as soon as the body is finished, everything is finished. This is due to their bodily conception of life. KášášŁáša has no such bodily conception, nor is His body different from His self. Therefore, since KášášŁáša has no material conception of life, how can He be affected by material prayers and accusations? KášášŁášaâs body is described herewith as kaivalya, nondifferent from Himself. Since everyone has a material bodily conception of life, if KášášŁáša had such a conception what would be the difference between KášášŁáša and the conditioned soul? KášášŁášaâs instructions in Bhagavad-gÄŤtÄ are accepted as final because He does not possess a material body. As soon as one has a material body he has four deficiencies, but since KášášŁáša does not possess a material body, He has no deficiencies. He is always spiritually conscious and blissful. ÄŞĹvaraḼ paramaḼ kášášŁášaḼ sac-cid-Änanda-vigrahaḼ: His form is eternal, blissful knowledge. Sac-cid-Änanda-vigrahaḼ, Änanda-cinmaya-rasa and kaivalya are the same.
KášášŁáša can expand Himself as ParamÄtmÄ in the core of everyoneâs heart. In Bhagavad-gÄŤtÄ (13.3) this is confirmed. KᚣetrajĂąaáš cÄpi mÄáš viddhi sarva-kᚣetreᚣu bhÄrata: the Lord is the ParamÄtmÄ â the ÄtmÄ or Superself of all individual souls. Therefore it must naturally be concluded that He has no defective bodily conceptions. Although situated in everyoneâs body, He has no bodily conception of life. He is always free from such conceptions, and thus He cannot be affected by anything in relation to the material body of the jÄŤva.
KášášŁáša says in Bhagavad-gÄŤtÄ (16.19):
tÄn ahaáš dviᚣataḼ krĹŤrÄn
saášsÄreᚣu narÄdhamÄn
kᚣipÄmy ajasram aĹubhÄn
Äsurčᚣv eva yoniᚣu
âThose who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life.â Whenever the Lord punishes persons like demons, however, such punishment is meant for the good of the conditioned soul. The conditioned soul, being envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, may accuse Him, saying, âKášášŁáša is bad, KášášŁáša is a thiefâ and so on, but KášášŁáša, being kind to all living entities, does not consider such accusations. Instead, He takes account of the conditioned soulâs chanting of âKášášŁáša, KášášŁášaâ so many times. He sometimes punishes such demons for one life by putting them in a lower species, but then, when they have stopped accusing Him, they are liberated in the next life because of chanting KášášŁášaâs name constantly. Blaspheming the Supreme Lord or His devotee is not at all good for the conditioned soul, but KášášŁáša, being very kind, punishes the conditioned soul in one life for such sinful activities and then takes him back home, back to Godhead. The vivid example for this is VáštrÄsura, who was formerly Citraketu MahÄrÄja, a great devotee. Because he derided Lord Ĺiva, the foremost of all devotees, he had to accept the body of a demon called Váštra, but then he was taken back to Godhead. Thus when KášášŁáša punishes a demon or conditioned soul, He stops that soulâs habit of blaspheming Him, and when the soul becomes completely pure, the Lord takes him back to Godhead.
