Since time immemorial (anadi-kala) conditioned souls have been wandering and suffering in this material world: sleeping, eating, mating and defending themselves. The souls manifested themselves from the tatastha-sakti potency of the Lord. ⁠But, Guru and Vaisnavas are so merciful, they help us to change our lifestyle. ⁠The Lord is very merciful in giving us this human body to do sadhana.
