“The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.”
Every soul is eternally part of Krishna—qualitatively one with Him, quantitatively minute. Our struggle ends when we remember this origin.
