the insignificant ant is independent. Whether we are defeated or victorious, the Supreme Lord is always victorious, for all beings act under his direction.

The power of our senses, our mental power, our physical vigor, our life force, as well as immortality and mortality are all subject to the supreme authority of God. Fools who ignore this fact believe that the body, material and inert, is at the origin of their actions. We all dance according to the wishes of God, the Supreme Master. No one is independent.

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person is He alone the Supreme Master, all the others are his servants, and they dance at will. We are all servants and handmaids of Krishna, and we have no independence. We dance according to the wishes of the Sovereign Lord, but under the influence of ignorance and delusion, we believe ourselves to be independent of the supreme will.

This is why it is written:

“Krishna is the supreme master, known as Govinda: His Form is all of eternity, knowledge and bliss. He is the origin of everything and has no origin outside of Himself, for He is the Cause of all causes.”

The various difficulties, misfortunes, and sufferings that God inflicts on us through of material nature, is a function of the sinful acts we have committed in our previous life. So it is only fair that we are paying the price today. If we do not want to suffer, then do not harm anyone, any human being, any animal, and any plant including trees.

If we surrender ourselves to God, and serve him with love and devotion, then we will see all our sufferings disappear by the grace of Krishna.

People are eager to live in peace and prosperity in this material world, but they ignore that the formula for peace is given by God, the Supreme Person. Everyone should understand that Krishna, the Supreme Person, is the ultimate owner of all the planets and that all political, social, cultural, religious, economic activities, etc., are intended to satisfy him. When the head of state is a virtuous being who follows the instructions of holy spirit guides to rule the country, everyone will be peaceful and prosperous. When the head of state and his advisers are perfect holy beings, nothing can go wrong in the state. All citizens should become devotees of the Lord and their good qualities will then develop automatically.

The Lord said: He who has an unwavering devotion to God, the Supreme Person, possesses all the qualities of divine beings. But he who is not a devotee of the Lord
