Arjuna, he was under the impression of this material existence. Therefore he refused to render service to the Lord. Lord Kṛṣṇa wanted that he should fight. He refused, "No, I am not going to fight." But when he understood his position by, by the instruction of Bhagavad-gītā, he agreed, "Yes, I shall fight." So this is spiritual.
Now, so far the employment is concerned, so here, here the employer and employee, both are serving and both are thinking that, "I am the master." That is māyā. Suppose I employ somebody. I give $25 per day. So the man who is employed, he thinks that, "I am not your servant. I am servant of these $25." So there is no question of service. So similarly, the master also, he thinks, "I am giving you $25 because I am exacting some service from you."
So here there is no question of . . . the service is there, but it is perverted, perverted, in a different way. That is not real service. Service is there, because I cannot live without service. That is my nature. Just exactly the same way: the water is always liquid, either it is designated black or designated white. That doesn't matter. But water is there.
(aside) What is this? Is that clear? (laughs) Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Just see. Natural tendency—to give some service. Just see. He's not in order, but he thought that "Here is something. Let me give me some service." Now, just see, automatically come. So this is the natural . . .
A child also, he'll try to serve the father, his mother. He'll try to assist mother. Mother is cooking. He'll try to assist the mother. So this is the position, that our natural position is to render service. Now, where to render service and how the service is being misused, that we have to understand. That's all. Because we are now in a condition which is not natural condition. So we have to put ourself in the natural condition, and the service attitude will go on. This is called Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
