TRANSLATION
“ ‘By serving You constantly, one is freed from all material desires and is
completely pacified. When shall | engage as Your permanent eternal ser-
vant and always feel joyful to have such a fitting master?’ ”
PURPORT
In His teachings to Sandtana Gosvamt, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has
declared every living entity to be an eternal servitor of the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. This is the constitutional position of all living entities.
Just as a dog or servant is very satisfied to get a competent, perfect master, or
as a child is completely satisfied to possess a competent father, so the living
entity is satisifed by completely engaging in the service of the Supreme Lord.
He thereby knows that he has a competent master to save him from all kinds
of danger. Unless the living entity comes to the guaranteed protection of the
Supreme Lord, He is full of anxiety. This life of anxiety is called material exis-
tence. To be completely satisfied and devoid of anxiety, one must come to
the position of eternally rencering service to the Supreme Lord. This verse is
also from the Stotra-ratna (43) by Sri Yamundcarya.
