why not become

 
Imported quote 16375
So therefore one who is intelligent, one who is actually intelligent, he thinks that "If my position is to become a servant, why not become the servant of the Supreme?" This is intelligence. Kamadinam kati na katidha palita durnidesas tesam mayi na karuna jata na trapa nopasantiḥ. We are servant of our senses, kamadinam kati na katidha palita durnidesas [Cc Madhya 22.16]. And our senses are dictating so many nonsense things, and we are serving. So therefore one who is not servant of the senses, but one who becomes servant of Krsna, then he becomes master of the senses. That is called svami or gosvami. One side you have to become servant of Krsna; then you become master of the senses. If you do not become servant of Krsna, then you become servant of the senses. Kamadinam kati na... The whole world is going on, everyone is servant of the senses, godasa. So one has to become gosvami. Go means senses.    (More...)
