Krsna does not force; Krsna desires, He orders, that "You do this." Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66). But He does not interfere with the little independence. That is Krsna's mercy, how He can do that. Krsna is not like us, that I give you something and again I ask you to return it. No. Whatever Krsna has given to us, that is permanent.

Prabhupāda: How water is manufactured, that is explained here. The modern scientists, they speak of manufacturing water by combination of two gases: hydrogen, oxygen. May be true to certain extent. But from Vedic literature we understand that by the interaction of form and touch through the agency of fire maybe there is perspiration. Just like when our body becomes too much heated, there is perspiration, the water comes out; similarly, the same process we get the water, ambho. And as soon as there is water there is jihva, the sense of touch, rasa-graha, which can taste. Jihva is meant for tasting. So this is the way of physical manifestation of different ways. But on the background there is daiva-codita. Everything is coming into existence on account of superior management, or superior impelling. That is the main proposition, that mayadhyaksena prakrtih (BG 9.10). These things we..., physical transformation, different ways, we experience. That is the phenomenal world. But these things are taking place not automatically but daiva-coditat, by superior intervention, impelled by the superior Personality of Godhead.

So as we explained last night, every action and reaction is being completed by the superior person, Krsna. But He has got so multi-energies that He does not require... Just like we have to see so many things personally. Just like in this management of our institution, sometimes we have to take personal care: "How this is being managed." Because we have to see there may not be any discrepancies in the service of the Lord. That is our duty. But entirely if we depend on Krsna, things will go on. But we have to depend in that way. He has got such fine machinery. The first thing is that He is seated in everyone's heart. Sarvasya caham hrdi sannivistah (BG 15.15). So He can give instruction to perform the respective duties - but provided there is another thing: personal consideration. The chance is given to the personal living being to take this chance but not misuse your little independence. Chance is given everyone. And Krsna's another business is: He does not interfere with the little independence given to the living being. So he must voluntarily surrender his little independence. Does not..., Krsna does not force; Krsna desires, He orders, that "You do this." Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja (BG 18.66). But He does not interfere with the little independence. That is Krsna's mercy, how He can do that. Krsna is not like us, that I give you something and again I ask you to return it. No. Whatever Krsna has given to us, that is permanent.

So He has given us little independence because we are part and parcel of Krsna. Krsna is fully independent. He does not depend on anyone. But although we have got independence to a certain extent, but under the control of maya. In the spiritual life there is also maya. That is called yoga-maya. And in the material life there is also maya. That is called maha-maya, Durga. So we, being very little... Just like small children: he is given either to the mother for taking care or to the nurse for taking care. The little child must be taken care of, either by the mother or an appointed nurse, maidservant. Similarly, we being very teeny, small, fragmental, atomic part and parcel of Krsna, although we have got all the ingredients of Krsna, still, we require protection. Just like the child and the father. The child possesses all the chemical composition of the father's body. Even if the father is diseased, the child inherits the disease also. This is a fact. Similarly, we have got all the ingredients or qualities of God in us, but in many..., in very, very small fragmental portions. Therefore, although we have got Krsna's qualities, still we sometimes fall down. Because it is very, very minute, fragmental, there is chance of being covered by something else.
