You are bowing down to everyone. You are bowing down to death, you are bowing down to disease, you are bowing down to old age. You are bowing down to so many things. You are forced. And still you are thinking that, "I cannot bow down. I don't like." Because you are saying: "I don't like," therefore you are being forced. You have to bow down. Why you forget your position? That is our disease.

Therefore the next process is that, "I am being forced to bow down." Now we have to find out where I shall be happy even by bowing down. That is Kṛṣṇa. Your bowing down will not be stopped, because you are meant for that. But if you bow down to Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's representative, you become happy. Test this. You have to bow down. If you don't bow down to Kṛṣṇa and His representative, then you will be forced to bow down something else, māyā. That is your position.

You cannot be free at any moment.
