Without love, nothing can sustain. If I do not love Krishna, I cannot surrender\u2014it is not possible. Just like a small child\u2014he is naturally surrendered to the parents because there is love. The child loves the parents. So without the basic principle of love\u2014the more you love, the more the surrender is perfect. Just like a small child\u2014you slap the child, he\u2019s crying, yet crying with the words, \u201cMommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,\u201d because there is love. Even in distress the child cannot forget. That is natural. Similarly, when you remain fully surrendered to the supreme will, either in distress or in happiness, that is your happiness, that is real happiness.<\/p>\n
This condition cannot be without love. In any condition, you remain surrendered. It cannot be done without love. When there is lack of love, this kind of mentality cannot develop: \u201cIn any condition I shall remain surrendered.\u201d Just like you are; you are, a whole society is, carrying my order, not because I am superior person; there is love. Without love, you cannot do so. You have got some bit of love for me; therefore you carry my order. Otherwise it is not possible. And I cannot also . . . You are foreigners, you are Americans. I came from another country; I have no account. I cannot also order you, \u201cYou must do it; otherwise I will chastise you.\u201d Because there is love. It is a connection of love. I can also become bold enough to chastise you, but you also, in whatever condition, carry out my order due to the basic principle of love. Our whole philosophy is love.<\/p>\n
