So Caitanya Mahaprabhu teaches from this point, that you are dasa. Give up this idea that you are independent master, or one with God, or so many rascal ideas. That is not good. It begins with this point. As Caitanya Mahaprabhu teaches that jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa [Cc. Madhya 20.108-109]. Caitanya Mahaprabhu teaches from the point when Bhagavad-gita ends. Bhagavad-gita says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66]. This is the relationship. We are trying to become master here, everyone. Krsna says, "You give up this idea. You are planning so many things, to become master of the world, ‘I am the monarch of all I survey.' Give up this idea. Then you'll be in proper position." Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam [Bg. 18.66]. That means "I am master. If you want to be peaceful, then accept this proposition that I am master; you are servant."
