Unnecessarily Suffering - Prabhupada 0872



760228 - Lecture SB 07.09.21 - Mayapur

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."
