Prabhupāda:
- māyā manaḥ sṛjati karmamayaṁ balīyaḥ
- kālena codita-guṇānumatena puṁsaḥ
- chandomayaṁ yad ajayārpita-ṣoḍaśāraṁ
- saṁsāra-cakram aja ko 'titaret tvad-anyaḥ
- (SB 7.9.21)
This is the description of material existence. So, first thing is, our mind is polluted. The simple statement of a Vaiṣṇava poet,
- kṛṣṇa bhuliya jīva bhoga vāñchā kare
- pāsate māyāra tāre jāpaṭiyā dhāre
Actually our position is to serve Kṛṣṇa. That is real position. Caitanya Mahāprabhu starts His instruction from this point, that we are eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa, and because we have rebelled not to serve, therefore Kṛṣṇa, out of His unlimited mercy and compassion, He comes down and teaches, "You rascal, surrender. Why you are suffering unnecessarily?" Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ (BG 18.66): "You rascal, you give up all these so-called engagements. You surrender to Me."
