slave mentality?

So some way or other, we are fallen in this material condition of life, making a... Prakrti... Manaḥ sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati [Bg 15.7]. This manasas cendriyani, as it is stated here, manasas ca indriyanam ca bhūtanam mahatam api. Maha-bhūta, maha-bhūta, these five elements, ksitir ap tejo marud vyoma, and mind. So in this way we are entrapped, and there is struggle. Manaḥ sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati, mamaivamsa [Bg 15.7]: "They are My part and parcel. They can live as good as I am, but unfortunately, they are undergoing a struggle for existence on account of this polluted mind." What is that pollution? krsna-bhuliya jiva bhoga vancha kare [Prema-vivarta]. He thinks that "What is the use of..." this is, what is called, "service mentality, slave mentality." They say, "This bhakti-marga is slave mentality. Instead of becoming God, they want to become servant or slave of God. So this is slave mentality." No, this is not slave mentality. This is actual liberation, because our constitutional position is to remain. We are servant of Krsna, but somehow or other, we revolted. Still we are revolting. Although Krsna coming and canvassing, "Just surrender unto Me," but still we are revolting. This is our disease. Manaḥ sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati [Bg 15.7].    (More...)
