Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 ®r…la Vivan€tha Cakravart… µh€kura has remarked that the watchmen were just like dogs. At night the dogs in the street act like watchmen. If one dog barks, many other dogs immediately follow it by barking. Although the street dogs are not appointed by anyone to act as watchmen, they think they are responsible for protecting the neighborhood, and as soon as someone unknown enters it, they all begin to bark. Both Yogam€y€ and Mah€m€y€ act in all material activities (prakteƒ kriyam€Š€ni guŠaiƒ karm€Ši sarvaaƒ [bg. 3.27]), but although the energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead acts under the Supreme Lord’s direction (may€dhyakeŠa praktiƒ s™yate sa-car€caram [bg. 9.10]), doglike watchmen such as politicians and diplomats think that they are protecting their neighborhoods from the dangers of the outside world. These are the actions of m€y€. But one who surrenders to KŠa is relieved of the protection afforded by the dogs and doglike guardians of this material world.
