dear Yogiji,

 

>>I am wondering if anyone could please explain to me how does the living

>>entity get under the influence of the modes

 

krsna bhuli' sei jiva anadi-bahirmukha

ataeva maya tare deya samsara-duhkha

 

"Forgetting Krsna, the living entity has been attracted by the

external feature from time immemorial. Therefore the illusory energy

[maya] gives him all kinds of misery in his material existence.

 

-Madhya-lila: Chapter Twenty, Text 117

 

 

purusah prakrti-stho hi

bhunkte prakrti-jan gunan

karanam guna-sango 'sya

sad-asad-yoni-janmasu

 

The living entity in material nature thus follows the ways of

life, enjoying the three modes of nature. This is due to his

association with that material nature. Thus he meets with good and evil

among various species.

 

-Bhagavad-gita As It Is: Chapter Thirteen, Text 22
