Srila Prabhupada is lecturing on the Srimad Bhagavatam 3.26.23:
"How we fell? You can trace out the history, but it is very difficult because anadi karama-phale, nobody can ascertain.
Just like when a man is diseased he goes to doctor. So when he goes to the doctor, the doctor gives him medicine according to the symptoms and the diagnosis. There is no necessity of find out the history, how he fell diseased.
There is history, but that is not possible to trace out.
Therefore it is said, anadi karama-phale...
Adi means the creation. Before creation, I contaminated this desire, iccha-dveña samutthena."
[Bg. 7.27].
Srila Prabhupada explains that we revolted against Krishna's desires:
Krishna says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66], but we are revolting:
"Why? Why shall I surrender to You? This is too much You are demanding."
This is going on... This is the disease.
And to cure the disease Krishna Himself comes.
Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati, tadatmanam srjami [Bg. 4.7].
But we are so stubborn that we won't, do not like to be cured!
