The dog does not go to any master, but he follows his master, and the master out of affection gives him food and drink. So Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has taught us that vaiṣṇava ṭhākura tomāra kukura baliyā jānaha more. You have to become a dog of a Vaiṣṇava. And Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says that without serving the Vaiṣṇava, nobody can get out of the clutches of māyā. That is not possible.

We cannot see on our own account, because every one of us ghostly-haunted, I mean under the influence of the material nature. You see varieties of philosophers, varieties of scientists, anything, without . . . (indistinct) . . . varieties of material nature.
