to become master

So here our miserable conditions are caused by our thinking that "I am the proprietor. I am the owner. I am the enjoyer." One becomes to owner, proprietor, because he wants to enjoy. So this is our disease. Actually, we are servant of Krsna: jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa [Cc Madhya 20.108-109]. This is our original position. We are servant, even in this condition. But we are servant of maya, illusion-means we are servant of our lusty desires: kama; krodha, anger; lobha, greediness; moha, illusion; so many, mada, madness. We are servant of these propensities. We are not master. When you become master of these sense gratification processes, then you are svami. That is the position of svami. Svami means master. Gosvami. Gosvami means this controller of the senses. Go means senses. So svami or gosvami means one who has control over the senses or one who has control over the mind.    (More...)
