Why: this divine illusion made of the three states is difficult to overcome, but those who take refuge in Krishna alone cross beyond it, naming both the genuine difficulty of the obstacle and a specific way through it.
In life: some patterns really are hard to break through sheer individual willpower alone, and having something larger to anchor to, a value, a community, a purpose, genuinely helps in a way solo effort sometimes doesn't.
Teaching: for a pattern you've struggled to break through willpower alone, try anchoring the effort to something larger than just personal discipline, a value, a relationship, a purpose you're protecting.
