Sanat-kumāra gives his explanations on the causes of the conditioning of the soul, defining the material experience as like a dream, and explaining the path back to our original consciousness.
Hare Krishna Prabhu, in the SB verse quoted 4.22.30, when it says the mind and senses, is it talking about our material mind & senses? And if so, how does the soul develop material desires initially? Or are we initially attracted with our spiritual mind/senses due to free will? 🙏🙏
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura mentions that the soul does not get in contact with matter exactly due to material desire, but initially due to a reluctance to serve Krsna, due to some kind of propensity to compete with Him.
From there, the soul gradually loses his original nature of service to Krsna, and eventually glides into the pradhāna, where remains inactive. From the pradhāna one eventually joins the material creation, and that's when the soul gets covered by false-ego, mind, etc. and the material desires start.
Thank you Prabhu 🙏
