master unnatural position

Similarly, we are part and parcel of Krsna, mamaivamso jiva-bhūtaḥ [Bg 15.7]. I have explained many times. So as soon as we deny to render service to Krsna, immediately the maya is there, captures, "All right. Come here. You serve me." This is the position. Artificially you cannot become master. That is not our nature, and that will not be happy service for us-artificial. Artificial... I have given this example: Suppose with this finger I capture some very nice foodstuff, rasagulla, and if the finger think that "I have captured the rasagulla. I shall eat." No. You cannot eat. You must put here. And then you get the benefit. And if you spoil the rasagulla in your hand and don't put into the mouth, then everything is spoiled. Similarly, we are part and parcel of Krsna. Our business is to satisfy Krsna. Eka bahu syama. The Vedas, we understand God has become many. Many... In many ways we are also part and parcel of Krsna. There are two kinds of manys. One many is called svamsa. Svamsa means personal expansion. And another expansion is differential expansion. The differential expansion are we, the living entities. We are also expansion of Krsna. And the visnu-tattva, They are personal expansions. But all of them are meant for serving Krsna.    (More...)

So we, living entities, we are servant of Krsna. That is our nature. That is our nature. Simply we are trying to avoid Krsna's service. Therefore we are engaged in this maya's service, or material nature's, under different bodies.    (More...)

In the Bhagavad-gita. Prakrteḥ. You have been put under the clutches of maya. He's giving you as you are desiring because you are desiring, bhoga vancha kare. Sometimes I used to enjoy like this, enjoy like... Everyone is trying to enjoy. But enjoy means we are becoming entangled. Yajnarthe karmano 'nyatra loko yam karma-bandhanaḥ [Bg 3.9].    (More...)
