	~~Srila Prabhupada~~ explains that the constitutional position of every living entity is to serve. However, in the material world, this natural propensity is perverted by the ~~purusa~~ attitude—the false desire to be the lord and master. Because everyone wants to be served, the material atmosphere is surcharged with struggle and frustration. Forgetting their relationship with ~~Krsna~~, illusioned souls manufacture mundane altruism, humanitarianism, and nationalism, only to find that their worldly masters are never satisfied. Real service is directed toward Govinda, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because satisfying His senses automatically satisfies our own. A pure ~~Vaisnava~~ is so deeply attached to this principle that he rejects the desire of the ~~jnanis~~ for impersonal liberation, happily accepting any body just to have the opportunity to serve the Lord. Ultimately, the perfection of this serving spirit is demonstrated by dedicating one's life to the orders of the spiritual master and serving the mission of the ~~Gosvamis~~. It is this pure, unmotivated desire to serve that attracts the supreme mercy and empowers a devotee to preach ~~Krsna~~ consciousness to the suffering world.

Real service is directed toward Govinda, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because satisfying His senses automatically satisfies our own. A pure Vaiṣṇava is so deeply attached to this principle that he rejects the desire of the jñānīs for impersonal liberation, happily accepting any body just to have the opportunity to serve the Lord. Ultimately, the perfection of this serving spirit is demonstrated by dedicating one's life to the orders of the spiritual master and serving the mission of the Gosvāmīs. It is this pure, unmotivated desire to serve that attracts the supreme mercy and empowers a devotee to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the suffering world.

	* '''The Illusion of False Lordship:''' The material world is plagued by the ~~purusa~~ mentality, where everyone competes to be the master and no one actually wants to serve.		* '''The Illusion of False Lordship:''' The material world is plagued by the puruṣa mentality, where everyone competes to be the master and no one actually wants to serve.
	* '''Manufactured Service:''' Having forgotten God, conditioned souls invent artificial modes of service like nationalism or altruism. This mundane service is ultimately frustrating and unrewarding.		* '''Manufactured Service:''' Having forgotten God, conditioned souls invent artificial modes of service like nationalism or altruism.
