	It is said in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, ahaṁ mameti: [SB 5.5.8] One thinks, "I am this body, and in this bodily relationship he is my master, he is my servant, she is my wife, and he is my son." All these conceptions are temporary due to the inevitable change of body and the arrangement of material nature. We are gathered together like straws floating in the waves of an ocean, straws that are inevitably separated by the laws of the waves. In this material world, everyone is floating on the waves of the ocean of nescience.

=== SB Canto 3 ===

'''Kṛṣṇa is not forced to come by the laws of material nature.'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.31.12|SB 3.31.12, Purport]]:''' Another significant point in this verse is that the Lord comes, icchayā, by His own will. As Kṛṣṇa confirms in Bhagavad-gītā, sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā: [Bg. 4.6] "I appear at My will, by My internal potential power." He is not forced to come by the laws of material nature. It is stated here, icchayā: He does not assume any form, as the impersonalists think, because He comes at His own will, and the form in which He descends is His eternal form.

=== SB Canto 5 ===

''' Everyone is being forced by the laws of material nature; therefore no one is master, and no one is servant.'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 5.10.12|SB 5.10.12, Translation and Purport]]: My dear King, if you still think that you are the King and that I am your servant, you should order me, and I should follow your order.

All these conceptions are temporary due to the inevitable change of body and the arrangement of material nature. We are gathered together like straws floating in the waves of an ocean, straws that are inevitably separated by the laws of the waves. In this material world, everyone is floating on the waves of the ocean of nescience. As described by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura:
:(miche) māyāra vaśe, yāccha bhese',
:khāccha hābuḍubu, bhāi
:(jīva) kṛṣṇa-dāsa, ei viśvāsa,
:karle ta' āra duḥkha nāi
Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura states that all men and women are floating like straws on the waves of material nature. If they come to the understanding that they are the eternal servants of Kṛṣṇa, they will put an end to this floating condition. As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (3.37): kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajo-guṇa-samudbhavaḥ. Due to the mode of passion, we desire many things, and according to our desire or anxiety and according to the order of the Supreme Lord, material nature gives us a certain type of body.
