''Pāpī tāpī jata chilo'', ''hari-nāme uddhārilo'', ''tāra sākṣī jagāi-mādhāi'', ''brajendra-nandana jei'', ''śaci-suta hoilo sei'' (Iṣṭa-deve Vijñapti 3). Kṛṣṇa is coming. He has come as Caitanya Mahāprabhu to deliver these ''pāpīs'' and ''tāpīs''. Whole process is scientific. It is not (laughs) the Ramakrishna, Vivekananda. It is not that. What do they know? Or Gandhi. They are also trying for the betterment, but they do not accept the standard process. Everyone is trying. That is struggle for existence. So who is fittest? The fittest is the devotee. He'll survive. ''Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma'' ([[BG 4.9 (1972)\|BG 4.9]]). I have now explained how Kṛṣṇa becomes subordinate to devotee. (turns on dictaphone, plays back from tape:) "Yamarāja, controller of all living entities, is afraid of the order of Kṛṣṇa. Still, Kṛṣṇa is afraid of mother's stick. This contradictory thing cannot be understood by one who is not devotee. Devotee can understand how much powerful is unalloyed devotional service to Kṛṣṇa, so much so He can be controlled by such devotee. ''Bhṛtya-vaśyata''. That means under the control of the servant, but He is under the control of pure love by the servant. In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' also, we see, Kṛṣṇa became the chariot driver of Arjuna. Arjuna is ordering Him, ''senayor ubhayor madhye rathaṁ sthāpaya me acyuta'' ([[BG 1.21-22 (1972)\|BG 1.21]]). Here Kṛṣṇa has agreed . . . (break) '. . . my chariot . . .'

This is ''ajñāna'', ignorance. Kṛṣṇa is fully independent. When He becomes subordinate to the devotees He is ''ānanda-cinmaya-rasa''. Humor of transcendental qualities increases transcendental pleasure. One who worships Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, therefore sometimes desires to be controlled by somebody controller.
