If he accepts the modes of life according to the direction of the physician, then he becomes free from. So there are two methods: pravṛtti and nivṛtti. Pravṛtti means, "I have got inclination to eat this or to enjoy this. Why not? I shall do it. I have got my freedom." "But you have no freedom, sir. You are simply . . ." That is māyā. You have no freedom. We get experience, suppose there is very nice palatable food. If I think, "Let me eat as much as possible," then next day I will have to starve. Immediately dysentery or indigestion.

In every religion it is accepted. Just like in Christian religion also it is said: "O God, give us our daily bread." Bread, we cannot manufacture. It must come from God. That is Vedic also, version: nityo nityānāṁ cetanaṣ cetanānām eko yo bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). God, or Kṛṣṇa, He gives everything, necessities of life, as you like, but if you accept your enjoyable things as you like, then you'll become entangled. But if you accept things to be enjoyed by you, tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā (ISO 1), as Kṛṣṇa offers you, then you'll become happy.

So you cannot violate the laws of Kṛṣṇa, or laws of nature. That is not possible. You are not at all independent. Because these rascals, they'll not understand this. They are always thinking, "We are independent." That is the cause of all unhappiness. Nobody is independent. How you can be independent? Nobody is independent, neither you can be independent, neither nobody is independent. That factual. Who is independent? Here you are sitting, so many boys and girls, who can say, "I am independent of everything"? No. Nobody can say. So this is our mistake, and by misusing our independence we are suffering in this material world in so many ways. That has to be reformed. That has to be checked. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
