(More...) So the demons, they have taken shelter of these lusty desires, duspūram, never to be satisfied. Dambha-mana-madanvitaḥ. Why? Mohat, by illusion.

This body will not stay. Everyone knows, but still, I am too much attached to this body. This is called asad-graha. And so long we are attached to this nonpermanent body, there should be anxiety. Prahlada Maharaja says, asad-grahat, sada samudvigna-dhiyam asad-grahat [SB 7.5.5]. Because we have accepted this temporary body, therefore we are full of anxiety. Full of anxiety.
