Kaśyapa Muni thought: Alas, I have now become too attached to material enjoyment. Taking advantage of this, my mind has been attracted by the illusory energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the form of a woman [my wife]. Therefore I am surely a wretched person who will glide down toward hell.

Translation
Attached to material enjoyment and captivated by māyā in the form of my wife, being in a miserable position, I will certainly fall to hell.

Personal Guidance
Kaśyapa: I have become too attached to material enjoyment; my mind has been captured by the Lord's illusory energy in the form of a woman. Self-diagnosis is the first turn.
Reflection Questions
- Can I diagnose where I have been captured rather than blame the agent of capture?
- What does honest self-diagnosis open?
