Process of Transformation...

Verse 1.7.5: This shloka and the following shlokas speak about the following 3 points
1) What is the root cause of all suffering
2) What are the remedial measures, the process
3) The ultimate goal

Other points that Srila Prabhupada is making is
* That the soul is impersonal is false.
* It is a thankless task for the external energy, which is necessary for the reformation of the conditioned soul.
* Nice example of HH Sachinandan Swami Maharaj: This process is a process of transformation. If we are not ready to do this transformation, then we will never progress whatever chanting or services we do. Eg: Caterpillar to Butterfly transformation. It is a very painful process. Similarly, unless we take the initiative to go through the pain of devotional service, we will never get the true transformation.
* Another example, Srila Prabhupada gives: Father putting a child under the teacher, although he does not want his child to be under another person. Similarly, King puts the sinner into prison.
* How does this surrender to Supreme Personality of Godhead start: By getting the taste through hearing from the pure devotees.
* Once he starts hearing, the Lord helps in two ways: 1) Internally through the paramatma and 2) Externally through the spiritual master (scriptures, initiating spiritual master and saints). We need to here understand the spiritual master is a direct representative of the Lord and therefore surrender unto his instructions.
