The 'Master-Mentality' Drags Us To Hell

(The following pastime is narrated by Bhakta Dasa from California; not to be confused with 'our' Melbourne Bhakta Dasa!)

Bhakta Dasa remembers his initiation.

As Srila Prabhupada handed him his beads, he said:

"Your name is Bhakta das.
It means that you are the servant of the devotees.
The more you think of yourself as a servant, the more you will advance in spiritual life;
the more you think you're becoming a master, the faster you will go to hell!"

In just that one sentence, Srila Prabhupada summarised the essence of Krishna conscious philosophy.
