forces one to commit sinful acts

Imported quote 19553

So our this Krsna consciousness movement is educating that the varieties of service should be concentrated for the satisfaction of Krsna. That is pravrtti. And what is not satisfying Krsna, against the will of Krsna, that should be avoided. That is called nivrtti. Anukūlyasya sahkalpaḥ pratikūlyasya varjanam [Hari-bhakti-vilasa 11.676]. This is called surrender. Surrender means that Krsna asking surrender: sarva-dharman parityayja mam ekam saranam vraja. What is the surrender means? Surrender means that "Krsna, I am surrendering unto You. I was acting whimsically, by the dictation of my different senses," kama, krodha, lobha, moha, matsarya, like that. Na kamadinam katidha na katidha palita durnidesa. The sastra says you should not steal-an example. But I am stealing. Why? Na kamadinam katidha na katidha palita durnidesa [Cc Madhya 22.16]. I know I should not steal; therefore I go to somebody's house very secretly, or push my hand very secretly in one's pocket. I know that I should not do this, but I am forced to do it. Why? Dictated by my lusty desire. So I have become servant of my six senses. Manaḥ sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati [Bg 15.7]. This is our position. Kamanina kulya... Everyone knows. A thief knows that if he commits theft he'll be punished, either by the police or by the laws of God. Everyone knows, but he still commits theft. Why? This is dictated by the lusty desires.
