How to get out of this prison house...?


Now the question is, how to get out of this miserable place? By scaling the wall, or by digging a tunnel, or by getting a helicopter to pick you up? If you are caught, the result will be more punishment.


Then what is the right way to get out? Appeal to the king. “I’m sorry, I made a mistake. I promise that I will never do that again.”


If the king is just, and he sees that you are transformed, what will he do? If you say, “I will be a soul surrendered unto you and will act as you want me to.” How then, will the king of kings, situated in our hearts respond to us? He may not release us immediately, but he will tell the prison authorities to watch such a person and then the prison authorities watch him and see that he is improving. Then the authorities will give him facilities. Then they will make him an ideal prisoner. Then finally the king of kings will not only release him from the prison, but will take him to his palace, because he has become such a good servant. This is what Maitreya Rsi is pointing out.

If you have to make a sacrifice or endeavor, do it for Krishna and then *pratipadam purnamrtasvadanam* – you will experience joy at every step.
