People whose intelligence is stolen by material desires often surrender to demigods
Their choice of worship depends upon the influence of the material modes
aWho surrenders to the Supreme Lord and engages in devotional service — One who is freed from material contamination
bWhat if material contamination is not completely washed away
They are by nature non-devotees
Even those who have material desires and still resort to the Supreme Lord, they:
Are not so much attracted by the external nature; because of the right goal
Soon become free from all material lust
Ref. SB 2.3.10: “akamah sarva kamo...” Therefore in any condition one should only approach Vasudeva
cThen why do people still go to demigods — They are less intelligent
Attitude – They have lost the spiritual sense
Desire –They want immediate fulfillment of material desire
Modes – Affected by lower modes, therefore they do not go to the Supreme Lord
Level of motivation – Motivated by small desires and do not know how to realize Supreme Goal
Level of satisfaction – Satisfied by the rules and regulations of their worship
Conception – They think demigods are better for certain purpose as per their study of Veda e.g. Sun god for better health
dUnderstanding of pure devotees
Ref. CC: “Only Krishna is the Supreme master and all others are servants”
Never goes to the demigods for material needs
Depends on the Supreme Lord and is satisfied with whatever he gives
