If you don't become servant of Krishna...I shall remain a servant of maya

[krsna]

If you don't become servant of Krishna,

then you serve, you become servant of your wife,

your children, your relative, your country, your nation, your dog. At last, if you have no family,

then you become servant of your dog.

 

You know in your country it is very usual.

If he has nobody, then he keeps a dog,

and takes it on the street.

His dog passes stool,

and he is standing, waiting: "Yes, sir. You pass your stool, I am waiting."

Just see. It is practical.

 

If you don't become servant of Krishna,

then you have to become servant of the dog.

This is nature's way.

Therefore intelligent person will take lesson from it, that "I have to become servant.

Why not become Krishna's servant?

Then I will be happy.

 

There are so many Krishna's servants.

They are so happy.

Why shall I remain the servant of the maya?"
