False mastership makes us real servant

In the material world, no one wants to be

a servant; everyone wants to become the master because false mastership

is the basic disease of the conditioned soul. The conditioned soul in the

material world wants to lord it over others. Illusioned by the external

energy of the Lord, he is forced to become a servant of the material

world. That is the real position of the conditioned soul.
