We have to remove our ego and false identity of possessiveness, thinking that everything has to be done our way. That is the main obstacle in engaging in devotional service, and is the main source of conflict in the material world. It is described in the Second Canto of the Bhagavatam that persons who are bewildered by the illusory energy of the Lord are always absorbed in the topic of “I” and “this is mine.” However, our true mood should be as a servant, simply representing the superior order. We should be looking to see that desire in others to please the Supreme Lord, the potential in
everyone else, and try to encourage them in Krishna consciousness and in serving the Supreme Lord.
