But unfortunately, being misguided, instead of serving Krsna, we are serving so many other things. Somebody is serving his family. Somebody is serving his country. Somebody is serving his dog. In this way, service is there -- but the service is misplaced. Therefore we are not satisfied. Why in the material world people are not satisfied? Because his position is to serve Krsna. He is serving maya; therefore he is not happy. Plain thing. Krsna says, mamaivamso jiva-bhutah: [Bg. 15.7] "Jiva, the living entity, they are My part and parcel." So each one of us, we are part and parcel of God. So we have got some duty. Just like the part and parcel of my body has got some duty. The eyes, his duty is to see. The ear, his duty is to hear. So every part of duty, even within, without. So we, being servant, eternal servant of Krsna, our only duty is to serve Krsna. And because we are not doing that, therefore we are unhappy.
