There is no such thing to become master. It is useless. You cannot become
master. Ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate [Bg. 3.27]. You cannot
become master. Jivera svarupa haya nitya krsna dasa [Cc. Madhya 20.108-109].
Either man or woman, everyone is servant of Krsna. We have to be trained up
in that platform, how to become the best servant, not only servant directly,
but servants, of the servant. This is called parampara servant. My spiritual
master is the servant of his spiritual master, and I am also servant of my
spiritual master. Similarly, we think "servant of the servant." There is no
question of becoming… This is material disease [Cc. Madhya 13.80].
krsna bhuliya jiva bhoga vancha kare
pasate maya tare japatiya dhare
As soon as we become puffed up — "Now I shall become master. I shall be
simply giving order. I shall not follow anyone" — that is maya. That
disease is going on beginning from Brahma down to the ant.
