You cannot be without being controlled. That is not possible. Therefore one who is intelligent, he puts himself under the control of God directly. That is intelligence. And that is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate (BG 7.19): "After many births of struggling, or speculation, one surrenders unto Me." Vāsudevaḥ sarva . . . "Kṛṣṇa, You are everything. So I am . . . accept me. I am now fully surrendered unto You, and You control me."
Because I am controlled. So, so long I have been controlled by these rascals, so there is no benefit. I'm controlled . . . I have been controlled by my senses. So under the control of the senses, I have served family, so-called family, society, country, nation, up to serving the dog, but nothing has given me the satisfaction. Therefore now I have got sense, good sense. I put myself under Your power. Instead of being controlled by dog, let me be controlled by God." This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
You have not seen man, how he is controlled by a dog in the street? The dog stops, passes stool. "Yes, I stand." Is it not? He's passing stool, his urine, and the master is thinking, "I am master," but he's being controlled. That is māyā. He has become servant of dog, but he is thinking that "I am master of dog." This is māyā. This is māyā.
