Q188. Are you the Slave or Servant of God?

We are the servants of God (Lord Krishna) and not His slaves. A servant has rights and free will and a slave has no rights nor free will. “I have explained to you the most confidential knowledge. Now, think about it and then do as you wish.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.63)

Lord Krishna states in the above verse ‘do as you wish’. This means we have rights and free will to follow Him or not. Lord Krishna is the proven God of mercy and love. He does not order slavery. Even human beings have created laws to ban slavery, because they know slavery is evil.
