The minds of mayābaddha jīvs constantly fluctuate under the influence of the guṇas. Thus worldly relationships, praise, emotional support, and favorability can never remain permanently stable.

Material desire endlessly regenerates itself. Fulfillment temporarily removes agitation, but new desires immediately arise, keeping the mind trapped in constant restlessness.
