according to one’s particular karma, one suffers or enjoys material life

SB 4.11.20
na vai sva-pakṣo ’sya vipakṣa eva vā
parasya mṛtyor viśataḥ samaṁ prajāḥ
taṁ dhāvamānam anudhāvanty anīśā
yathā rajāṁsy anilaṁ bhūta-saṅghāḥ

TRANSLATION

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His feature of eternal time, is present in the material world and is neutral towards everyone. No one is His ally, and no one is His enemy. Within the jurisdiction of the time element, everyone enjoys or suffers the result of his own karma, or fruitive activities. As, when the wind blows, small particles of dust fly in the air, so, according to one’s particular karma, one suffers or enjoys material life.

PURPORT

Although the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the original cause of all causes, He is not responsible for anyone’s material sufferings or enjoyment. There is no such partiality on the part of the Supreme Lord. The less intelligent accuse the Supreme Lord of being partial and claim that this is why one enjoys in this material world and another suffers. But this verse specifically says that there is no such partiality on the part of the Supreme Lord. Living entities, however, are never independent. As soon as they declare their independence of the supreme controller, they are immediately put into this material world to try their luck freely, as far as possible. When the material world is created for such misguided living entities, they create their own karma, fruitive activities, and take advantage of the time element, and thereby they create their own fortune or misfortune. Everyone is created, everyone is maintained, and everyone is ultimately killed. As far as these three things are concerned, the Lord is equal to everyone; it is according to one’s karma that one suffers and enjoys. The living entity’s higher or lower position, his suffering and enjoying, are due to his own karma. The exact word used in this connection is anīśāḥ, which means “dependent on their own karma.” The example is given that the government gives everyone the facilities for governmental action and management, but by one’s own choice one creates a situation which obliges him to exist under different types of consciousness. The example given in this verse is that when the wind blows, particles of dust float in the air. Gradually lightning occurs, and then torrents of rain follow, and thus the rainy season creates a situation of varieties in the forest. God is very kind—He gives everyone an equal chance—but by the resultant actions of one’s own karma one suffers or enjoys this material world.

May All be Happy, May No One Suffer

Do not develop an attachment towards those you serve. The point is, by giving up your selfishness, give happiness to all, and see towards everyone's well-being.

"Sarve Bhavantu sukhinah, Sarve santu niraamayaahaa
Sarve bhadraan paschyantu, maa kaschid dukh bhagbhavet."

My good friends ! Have such a feelings within  -  May no one suffer; May all get rest and relaxation; May all attain happiness. . This is an immense opportunity in this human birth. Working for selfishness is not humanity. Dogs play a lot with each other, but the minute they see food, they fight with each other. In the same say if we too fight due to selfishness, then what is the difference between the animals and us ?

"Te praanuvanti maameva, sarvabhoote hite rataah." (Gita 12:4)

Those who are engaged in the welfare of all, will surely attain God. Brothers ! you have received immense gains from the world, by accepting it as your own. Now accept God as your very own and see the magic that takes place. May all benefit, may all be happy; may all get rest and relaxation, may all attain salvation - such must be our inner feelings. Do as much as you can to serve. But have no shortcomings in your inner expression. Have a broad outlook, such that you are happy in the happiness and welfare of all.

When one becomes lusty

When one becomes lusty, then one becomes lost of all intelligence. The whole world is going on on the basis of these lusty desires. This is material world. 

Therefore according to Vedic civilization, the woman is accepted as hindrance to spiritual advancement. The whole basic civilization is how to avoid... Woman... You do not think that only woman is woman. The man is also woman. Don't think that the woman is condemned; man is not. Woman means enjoyed, and man means enjoyer. So this feeling, this feeling is condemned. If I see one woman for enjoyment, so I am man. And if woman also sees another man for enjoyment, she is also man. Woman means enjoyed and man means enjoyer. So anyone who has got feeling of enjoyment, he is considered to be man. So here both sexes meant for... Everyone is planning, "How I shall enjoy?" Therefore he is puruṣa, artificially. Otherwise, originally, we are all prakṛti, jīva, either woman or man. This is outward dress.
