Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a says, m\u0101m eva ye prapadyante m\u0101y\u0101m et\u0101\u1e41 taranti te (BG 7.14). If anyone voluntarily, or understanding his miserable life, if he surrenders unto K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, “My dear K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, I forgot You for so many lives. Now I understand that You are my father, You are my protector. I surrender unto You.” Just like a lost child goes to the father, “My dear father, it was my misunderstanding that I went away from your protection, but I have suffered. Now I come to you.” The father embraces, “My dear boy, you come on. I was so much anxious for you all the days. Oh, it is happy that you have come back.” The father is so kind. So we are in the same position. As soon as we surrender ourself to the Supreme Lord… That is not very difficult. A son’s surrender to the father, is it very difficult job? Do you think is it very difficult job? A son is surrendering to his father. It is quite natural. There is no insult. Father is always superior. So if I touch the feet of my father, if I bow down before my father, it is glory. It is glorious for me. There is no insult. There is no difficulty. Why should we not surrender unto K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a?<\/p>\n
