Fire of material existence#
The material existence which is like a forest fire cannot be
extinguished completely by our endeavors. No one knows How it started
but can only see that we are trapped deeper in it.
The mercy of the Lord is like the heavy downpour of rain which is the
only means to extinguish the blazing fire of material existence. Not
our fire engines nor our buckets of water is capable of dousing the
fire of material existence

Fire of Devotional Service#
Even though the trees of karma are mostly burnt out by the
fire,there's still a chance for the trees to grow again due to the
roots being intact under the ground. Thats why Parikshat Maharaj is
not just satisfied by this example of fire like Devotional Service
burning all the karma of trees. But When the fire in sun rays hit the
dew drops present at the tip of the leaves, it's completely
evaporated&nothing remains. Parikshit Maharaja is happy with this dew
drop example. Many Years ago my Bhagavata friend explained me this.
