on the supreme will. It is by the supreme will that we are situated in cer-
tain conditions in terms of family, community and personality. These are
all arrangements of the Supreme Lord according to our desires under the
spell of maya, illusion. In devotional life, therefore, one should not
desire anything, since everything depends on the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. As stated in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (1.1.11):

anyabhilasita-stiinyam
jnana-karmady-andurtam

Gnukilyena krsnanu-
Silanam bhaktir uttama

“One should render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord
Krsna favorably and without desire for material profit or gain through
fruitive activities or philosophical speculation. That is called pure devo-
tional service.” One should act only to develop Krsna consciousness. For
everything else, one should fully depend upon the Supreme Person. We
should not create plans that will ultimately make us frustrated.
