colors, mixing

Imported quote 18222 So, asevaya ayam. What is our business at the present moment? We are serving maya in different varieties. So maya has got three modes-sattva, rajas, tamas, or mixed. Just like the color displayer, very expert in mixing color. Actually there are three colors: blue, red and yellow. This blue, red, yellow, the color display of the mix-three into three equal to nine; nine into nine, it becomes eighty-one. So in this material world we, living entities, we are colored in this way. Three into three-sattva, raja, tamo-guna. Three into three equal to nine, and nine multiplied by nine, eighty-one. So there eighty-one colorful living entities are there. Somebody is human being; somebody is demigod; somebody is cat; somebody is dog; somebody is servant; somebody is tree; somebody is plant... There are 8,400,000's of forms of life. And that is our service. [dog barking in background] Just like the dog is barking. He's thinking that he is dog, so his business is barking. That means serving the laws of material nature. Similarly, somebody is serving, somebody is serving in some way, somebody-varieties.

Tapo divyam putraka yena suddhyet sattvam [SB 5.5.1]. We have to purify our existence. This is the mission of human life. At the present moment we are transmigrating from one body to another, and there are 8,400,000 species of life we are going through according to karma. Karmana daiva-netrena jantur deha upapattaye [SB 3.31.1].
