JOURNAL:

And so it comes down to our choice. Do we follow Krishna's instructions and surrender to His will or, after hearing all His instructions, do we go on acting under the modes of nature?

Srila Prabhupada reminds us in his purport; Surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead is in the best interest of the living entities. It is not for the interest of the Supreme. Before surrendering, one is free to deliberate on this subject as far as the intelligence goes; that is the best way to accept the instruction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
