Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: So why, in the material world, if our natural desire is to worship and to be a servant, why is it that in the material world everyone is looking for respect and to be worshiped?
Prabhupāda: That is māyā. He is serving a dog, and still, he is thinking he is master. That is māyā. Instead of serving a nice person or the nice Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, he is serving a dog. But he is thinking that, "I am master." This is māyā. Māyā means which is not fact. He is serving, but he is thinking that he is not serving, he is controlling, or something like that. That is māyā.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: So the desire to be worshiped is unnatural.
Prabhupāda: Yes. (to Indian man entering:) Hare Kṛṣṇa. Come on. Jaya. This is the beginning of devotion, to be submissive. Tad viddhi praṇipātena (BG 4.34). This is the beginning, praṇipāta. This is praṇipāta, fall down, full surrender. That you have . . . therefore you are making progress. Tad viddhi praṇipātena. Question? Praṇipātena paripraśnena. Praṇipāta is done. Now you can question.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Do you have any question?
Indian man: I can't think of one now.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: He said he can't think of one right now.
Prabhupāda: That's nice. Last night you were present in the meeting? Read our books very carefully, and as soon as there is some doubt, inquire. Here, wooden house, practically none.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Mostly bricks.
