Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

If you want to get out of this entanglement, there is complete arrangement, facility, complete facility. "Those who are engaged in devotional service," Kṛṣṇa says, yoga-ksemam vahamy aham BG 10.10 , "I take personal charge for their maintenance." This is complete arrangement.

So therefore there is complete facility for the small complete units. We are complete units, small. God is great and we are small. So small... Just like a big machine, and there is a small screw. So the complete facility, completeness of that small screw, is to become fitted in the particular place. Then it has got value. 

And if it is out of touch of the machine, falls down, it has no value. So complete facility is there. Just yourself dovetail into that hole and the screw is placed there, oh, it has value. When a screw is lost, you have to purchase from the store at the cost of two dollars. And when it is fallen down, it is not even worth one cent. So we are complete units so long we are attached to Kṛṣṇa. Otherwise useless.
