Yāre yaiche nācāya, se taiche kare nṛtya: now under the direction of the Supreme Lord everyone is dancing, or working. In the common world we see that we are dancing dogs, because under the direction of the master. The master says: "Please dance," the dog will dance. The master . . . because the dog knows that "He is my master. If I don't dance, then I will starve."
So actually that is the position. Nobody is master here, but when we falsely claim that, "I am master," that is māyā. Everyone is serving, but under the impression that he is master. The head of the family, he is thinking that, "I am the master." But he is . . . actually he is serving each and every member of the family. The state executive officer—you may call a king or a president—he is thinking that, "I am king," "I am president," but actually he is serving. That is his position. Unless he serves properly, immediately he will be dethroned, or next time he will not be elected.
That is our position. We are all serving, ekale īśvara kṛṣṇa, āra saba bhṛtya. This is a fact. Only master is Kṛṣṇa, and everyone is servant. Who can challenge this statement—is there anyone within this hall—that I don't serve anyone? Is there anyone? Eh? And somebody is claiming that, "I am God." You see?
This is called illusion, māyā. This claim is made by the illusioned living entities. Here, this material world means that everyone is trying to become the master. And that is competition between one master to another, because nobody is master. That competition that "I shall become master," that is illusion. So in this illusory fighting and competition, where one fails that, "I could not become the master . . ." Eh?
For example, in our country we respected Mahatma Gandhi as the father of the nation, or the master of the nation; but actually he was servant. As soon as there was little discrepancy, immediately he was put to death. Immediately. So similarly, in the USA also, President Kennedy, he was very popular president. But as soon as there was little discrepancy, he was also killed. So this position we must know, that nobody is master here; everyone is servant. But his real position is to become the servant of God.
