We are all servants

 We are all servants, by Haripada dasa

The essence of the philosophy of Krishna consciousness is in a verse from Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita that says that only God or Krishna is the master and all others are his servants, in relation to this it is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in the Gita, 6, 29, there it says that while the living entity is in the womb of material energy, he serves the material senses; and while in the bosom of spiritual energy, he serves the Supreme Lord directly. In either case, the living entity is the servant of God. This vision of equality is perfect for a person in Kṛiṣhṇa consciousness.

We are an energy of God or Krishna that is called marginal, marginal means that we have two tendencies, the original, pure and eternal tendency is that we are happy serving God or Krishna and His devotees, and the other tendency is that we misuse our free We think that we will be happy living independently of God or Krishna and His devotees, this point is explained very well by Srila Prabhupada in the meaning of the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra, there he says that this atmosphere, in which we now live, is called maya , or illusion. Maya means "what is not". And what is this illusion? The illusion is that we try to be the lords of material nature, when the reality is that we are bound by the shackles of its strict laws. When a servant tries to artificially imitate his almighty master, this is called illusion. Contaminated by this concept of life, we all try to exploit the resources of material nature, but the reality is that we become more and more entangled in its complexities. Therefore, despite our arduous struggle to conquer nature, we depend more on it.

This illusory struggle against material nature can be stopped immediately if we revive our Krishna consciousness. Krishna consciousness cultivation is not an artificial imposition on the mind; this consciousness is the original energy of the living entity, which revives when we hear the transcendental vibration. And this is the process recommended by the authorities for this era. Also direct experience allows us to perceive that the chanting of this maha-mantra, this Great Song for Liberation, can make us feel an immediate transcendental ecstasy that comes from the spiritual plane. And when we are in fact on the plane of spiritual understanding, having transcended the levels of the senses, mind and intelligence, we are situated on the transcendental plane.

Here the point is to get rid of the false ego, I share that in The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Chapter Twenty-two, verse 39, where Sanat-kumāra says:

"My dear King, the false ego of the human being is so strong, that it maintains him in material existence as if he were tied by a very strong rope. Only devotees can cut the knot of that rope very easily, by dedicating themselves to the process of Kṛiṣhṇa consciousness. Others, who are not in Kṛiṣhṇa consciousness but are trying to become great mystics or great practitioners of ritual ceremonies, cannot advance like devotees. Therefore, it is everyone's duty to engage in the activities of the Kṛiṣhṇa consciousness process, to get rid of the tight knot of the false ego and the performance of material activities. "
