TRANSLATION
 O scion of Bharata [Arjuna], O conqueror of the foe, all living
entities are born into delusion, overcome by the dualities of desire
and hate.

EXPLANATION
 The real constitutional position of the living entity is that of
subordination to the Supreme Lord, who is pure knowledge. When one is
deluded into separation from this pure knowledge, he becomes
controlled by illusory energy and cannot understand the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. The illusory energy is manifested in the
duality of desire and hate. Due to desire and hate, the ignorant
person wants to become one with the Supreme Lord and envies Krsna as
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Pure devotees, who are not so
deluded or contaminated by desire and hate, can understand that Lord
Sri Krsna appears by His internal potencies, but those who are deluded
by duality and nescience think that the Supreme Personality of Godhead
is created by material energies. This is their misfortune. Such
deluded persons, symptomatically, dwell in dualities of dishonor and
honor, misery and happiness, woman and man, good and bad, pleasure and
pain, etc., thinking, "This is my wife; this is my house; I am the
master of this house; I am the husband of this wife." These are the
dualities of delusion. Those who are so deluded by dualities are
completely foolish and therefore cannot understand the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.

Following is a quotation by Swami Gaurangapada:
"Some people struggle very sincerely to get rid of their bad
qualities. But they should remember that when the sun rises, the night
runs and hides in the caves and mountains. Similarly, when they will
become devotees of the Lord and let the sun of the Holy Names rise in
their heart, then they will find themselves automatically freed from
the vices born out of the darkness of ignorance."

Please chant Nityananda, Gauranga and Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, and
overcome the delusion caused by the illusory energy of the supreme
Lord.
