Certain very higher beings can control and occupy the thoughts of many lower ones. Maya, a very powerful energetic and intelligent such a person, beyond mundane time restrictions, unseen even by most humans, dictates almost the every move of non-self-realized humans, who are so under her delusions that they think themselves free and the lords of all they survey. Her energy is not of the gross elements, a situation not currently understood by mundane science, as they are all under Maya's spell. This is the real horror story! Another such great female, Yogamaya, rather captures one in spiritual pastimes of great ecstasy, eternally, and that is the destination of the spirit soul when fully liberated. "Intelligent" beings of this galaxy have access to this knowledge. There is infinite variety, but also symmetry and organization, as there is Divine Purpose , orchestrated with the cooperators, and hence an organizing narrative is set in each galaxy/universe. Rebels against Godhead also exist, as this realm accomodates the struggle to dominate others, but they tend to fall short in the greater schemes, ultimately lose against the devotional forces.

Bhakti is contagious, like a deadly disease. And, once it's in your system, it is very hard to shake it out. It can make one delirious, or cry many tears, and soon one does strange things one would never have dreamed of doing otherwise ! It can make you neglectful of your best interests in life, like family and gold and women and all the good things most hanker for. Soon a moment seems like an eternity, one's master is a crazy person, and everything is lost in a never-ending pool of gulabjamuns and juice mixed with camphor and hot cinnamon, Radha-Krsna prasadam of course ... and one is left calling out for Hari ! Hari ! A Terrible Fate to avoid at all cost!
