Understanding one's eternal nature as Krishna's servant brings immediate liberation through simple surrender.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: Translation: "It is the living entity's constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa, because he is the marginal energy of Kṛṣṇa and a manifestation simultaneously one and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire. Kṛṣṇa has three varieties of energy." Prabhupāda: jīvera 'svarūpa' haya-kṛṣṇera nitya-dāsa kṛṣṇera 'taṭasthā-śakti', bhedābheda-prakāśa sūryāṁśa-kiraṇa yaiche agni-jvālā-caya svābhāvika kṛṣṇera tina-prakāra 'śakti' haya [Cc Madhya 20.108–109] So Caitanya Mahāprabhu begins his instruction to Sanātana Gosvāmī because he's the appropriate person to understand. In the previous verse Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has asserted, yogya-pātra hao tumi bhakti pravartāite krame saba tattva śuna, kahiye tomāte [Cc Madhya 20.107] So the philosophy is very simple, but unless one is fit or appropriate person, he cannot understand. No.
So in the material world we are materially diseased; therefore it is very difficult for us to understand this Kṛṣṇa consciousness philosophy. Otherwise, it is very simple thing. As Caitanya Mahāprabhu..., jīvera 'svarūpa' haya kṛṣṇera nitya-dāsa. Very simple thing.
Everyone, even a child can understand that we are, our svarūpa, our constitutional position, is that we are servant of God, Kṛṣṇa. But the material world is so bewildering that everyone is thinking that "I am master of everyone." This is the disease. "I am the monarch of all I survey," there is an English poetry. Everyone is thinking.
Why this is so much struggle in this New York City? Because now there is Presidential election, so everyone is thinking, "If I could become the president." That is everyone's desire. But those who are not so fit, they do not stand for election, but those who are little fit, so they stand, make competition, "I am the president." If you are president, why you require election? The simple truth.
If you are actually president, then why do you depend on others' vote? You become president. No. Artificial president.
Simply by votes he is president. Actually he is not; he is the servant of the voters, but he's thinking, "I am president." This is called māyā. Everyone is servant of Kṛṣṇa. He's servant.
Every one of us, we are servant. So take this example. Actually the president means the servant of the voters, and as soon as the voters do not like him... Just like Nixon is drawn back. So nobody can be master.
