Letter to: Daniel
Montreal 22 August, 1968 68-08-22
My Dear Daniel,
Please accept my blessings. I am so much thankful to you for your good wishes, and your realization that you are the eternal servant of Krishna. It is the primary understanding of our constitutional position. Actually, we are servant, but in the conditioned state, every one of us posing as the master. The sooner we forget that we are not master, we are servant; and if even though we are not inclined to serve Krishna, we have to become the servant of our senses. So the sooner we realize this fact, that our constitutional position is servant, that means we are liberated. Liberation means to be situated in one's original position. Just like a man suffering from fever, so relief from fever means to be situated in normal condition. So service is our normal condition, but this service being misplaced, we are not happy but as soon as the service is placed to the right person, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, everything becomes happy and successful.
Your ever well wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Link to this page: https://prabhupadabooks.com/letters/montreal/august/22/1968/daniel Previous: Letter to: Brahmananda -- Montreal 22 August, 1968 Next: Letter to: Jayananda -- Montreal 22 August, 1968
