They say: "This bhakti-marga is slave mentality!"

This the continuation of yesterday's post; the lecture that Srila Prabhupada gave on the Srimad Bhagavatam 3.26.23:

Krishna talks about the materially-conditioned souls, Bhagavad Gita 15.7:

Manah sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati, mamaivamsa
"They are My part and parcel. They can live as good as I am, but unfortunately, they are undergoing a struggle for existence on account of this polluted mind."

What is that pollution? Krsna-bahirmukha hana bhoga vancha kare.
(The conditioned souls think that it is a) slave mentality.
They say, "This bhakti-marga is slave mentality.
Instead of becoming God, they want to become servant or slave of God. So this is slave mentality."

No, this is not slave mentality. This is actual liberation, because our constitutional position is to remain.
We are servant of Krishna!
