Prabhupada says that this material world is kuntha. It is a place of anxiety. It cannot be avoided. Everything in this world is temporary and the eternal living entity is going to have to be in anxiety about losing that which he is attached to. So he struggles with this illusory energy. A devotee therefore prays. "Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare." He's praying to Krsna. He's praying to Lord Balarama. "Please give me the strength so that I may be engaged in Krsna's service." He's praying to Srimati Radharani. Please engage me in Krsna's service. He's looking for strength. This is his struggle.
