    Everything belongs to Krsna.
    What is the body?
    It is a combination of material elements —
    earth, water, fire, air, and the subtle,
    psychological elements mind,
    intelligence, and false ego.
    Krsna claims, "All these eight elements
    are My separated energy."
    Then how are the body and mind ours?
    Although I claim that the body is mine,
    I do not even know how it is working.
    A tenant in an apartment may pay rent
    and somehow or other
    occupy the apartment and enjoy its utilities,
    although he may not actually know
    how the heat and tap water are working.
    Similarly, although we do not know the
    details of how the body works,
    we are using this body,
    which actually belongs not to us but to Krsna.
    This is the real fact.
    The body consists of the senses and the mind,
    and therefore the senses and mind
    also belong to Krsna.

    Anyone who surrenders to Krishna,
    his destiny is changed
    by the omnipotency of God.
    He takes charge of the devotee
    and guides him to go back home,
    back-to-Godhead.
    This is the Mercy of God.
    The self-realized devotee is
    he who surrenders
    unto the Lord fully
    and who does not have attachment
    for material prosperity.
    One who has fully surrendered
    to the Lord has no fear of
    the modes of material nature.
    The pure devotees of the Lord
    are surrendered souls,
    they are above
    the illusory snares of māyā.

    Devotional service manifests
    as the most elevated,
    pure love for God.
    A person engaged in such
    pure devotional service
    neither desires anything
    for sense gratification,
    nor laments for any loss,
    nor hates anything,
    nor enjoys anything
    on his personal account,
    nor becomes very
    enthusiastic in material activity.
    Indifference toward what stands
    in the way of devotional service
    means to accept only those
    activities of social custom
    and Vedic injunction that are
    favourable to devotional service.
