PLATE THREE

Whether boss or laborer, master or servant, president or prisoner,
everyone in this world is under the tight control of the three modes of
material nature (goodness, passion, and ignorance), which in turn are
controlled by Lord Krsna. It is only out of illusion that people imagine
themselves to be free. (After all, is anyone free to prevent his own
death?) As Krsna explains in the Bhagavad-gita (3.27): ‘‘The bewildered
spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature,
thinks himself to be the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out
by nature.” (pp. 25-35)
