Hiranyakasipu is Within Us
Book, Sreela Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj

We should always remember Nrsimhadeva. Nrsimhadeva kills Hiranyakasipu.
Who is Hiranyakasipu? "Hiranya" means wealth and "kasipu" means bed - sexual desire. So "Hiranyakasipu" means "those who have desire for wealth and sex, and also for name and fame". Such persons cannot get Krsna. So, Hiranyakasipu is within us. Externally, we may see a demon, but that demon is also residing within ourselves. That demon should be killed! Then you can go to Krsna. There is also one-pointed, causeless, eternal devotion residing within our real selves. That is called "Prahlada". There is Prahlada, Nrsimha Bhagavan and bhakti. Nrsimha Bhagavan will remove all ulterior motives from our hearts. He will kill Hiranyakasipu and enhance Prahlada. So we should remember Lord Nrsimhadeva.
