"Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66). It is good for the person who surrenders. Kṛṣṇa doesn't require your service. When He says, "You surrender to Me," it does not mean that Kṛṣṇa is suffering for your service. Kṛṣṇa is self-sufficient. He can create millions of servants like you. So He doesn't require your service. But if you serve, then it is your benefit. You become saved, "Now I am under the protection of a very able and, every respect, opulence of master." You are serving cats and dogs. Why not serve the most supreme, able and opulent master? This is going on. You have to serve. You cannot say: "No, no. I will not serve. I am independent." That is not possible. You have to serve. You have to serve, and you will be exploited by the imperfect master. So why not serve the perfect master so that you will not be exploited again? It is simple."
