"So, apaśyatām ātma-tattvam (SB 2.1.2), those who are not very intelligent to see about the truth of ātma, they're entangled. How it is entangle? deha-apatya, this body and the offspring, children, born out of this body through the wife, dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣu ātma-sainyeṣu (SB 2.1.4). Everyone is thinking that 'I have got my good wife. I have got very nice children. I have got my nice society, nation', and so on, so many. Dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣu. And he's thinking that 'They are my soldiers, here is this fight, struggle for existence'. Everyone is struggling to exist, and everyone is thinking, 'They are my soldiers. These, my wife, children, society, friendship, nation, they'll give me protection'. But nobody can give protection. Therefore he's explained here as pramattaḥ, pāgala. Nobody can give you protection."
