There are different demigods controlling different parts of the body. So that means as soon as we get a body, we become indebted to the demigods. Then, when we are educated, we take knowledge. Then we become indebted to the great sages, saintly persons, who have given us all the direction how to live comfortably, sinlessly.

Prabhupāda:

<div class="quote_verse">
:mayy ananyena bhāvena
:bhaktiṁ kurvanti ye dṛḍhām
:mat-kṛte tyakta-karmāṇas
:tyakta-svajana-bāndhavāḥ
:([[Vanisource:SB 3.25.22|SB 3.25.22]])

This is the explanation of the last version of Bhagavad-gītā, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]). We have got so many obligations. As soon as we take birth—human being, not cats and dogs—we are immediately indebted to so many persons: devarṣi-bhūtāpta-nṛṇāṁ pitṟṇām ([[Vanisource:SB 11.5.41|SB 11.5.41]]). We are indebted to the demigods. The body, the material body which we have got, it is running by the direction of the demigods. There are different demigods controlling different parts of the body. So that means as soon as we get a body, we become indebted to the demigods. Then, when we are educated, we take knowledge. Then we become indebted to the great sages, saintly persons, who have given us all the direction how to live comfortably, sinlessly. Then devarṣi-bhūta. Bhūta, ordinary, general living being. Just like we are taking milk from the cows, service from the bull, from the horse, from the ass—even cats and dogs. So we are also indebted to them. Devarṣi-bhūta-āpta: relatives. We get so many help from relatives. Bhūta-āpta. Devarṣi-bhūtāpta-nṛṇām: general public. Devarṣi-bhūtāpta-nṛṇāṁ pitṟṇām: and the forefathers. So a ṛṇī we are immediately. But if we renounce everything for the sake of Kṛṣṇa, then we are not ṛṇī, or indebtor. That is the injunction of the śāstra.
