Actually our position is to serve Krsna. That is real position. Caitanya Mahaprabhu starts His instruction from this point, that we are eternal servant of Krsna, and because we have rebelled not to serve, therefore Krsna, out of His unlimited mercy and compassion, He comes down and teaches, "You rascal, surrender. Why you are suffering unnecessarily?".

Prabhupāda:  Actually our position is to serve Krsna. That is real position. Caitanya Mahaprabhu starts His instruction from this point, that we are eternal servant of Krsna, and because we have rebelled not to serve, therefore Krsna, out of His unlimited mercy and compassion, He comes down and teaches, "You rascal, surrender. Why you are suffering unnecessarily?" Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam (BG 18.66): "You rascal, you give up all these so-called engagements. You surrender to Me."

So from this point Caitanya Mahaprabhu starts His instruction. When Sanatana Gosvami approached Him, that "By Your mercy I have left my this material engagement. I was minister. I was very much puffed up. So by good fortune I saw You. Now I have retired from my so-called happy life. Now please tell me what is my position?" Ke ami kene amare jare tapa traya: "Why I am? What I am? Why I am put into this condition of suffering?" Just like one goes to the physician, a diseased man. He submits and inquires from the physician that "Why I am suffering from this pain - some pain always in the heart, some pain in the belly, some pain in head? So what is the disease?" So Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, "The disease is that you are servant of Krsna. You are, rascal, trying to be master of the world." This is the struggle. A servant is trying to become master. How it is possible? It is simply entanglement. Just like in an office, a menial servant, if he wants to imitate the master, he'll be involved in so many difficulties. So that is our position.
