Similarly, the dear devotees say to the conditioned souls, "Who are you? You have forgotten your identity!

Similarly, the dear devotees say to the conditioned souls, "Who are you? You have forgotten your identity! You are the son of the Supreme person. Your father is the Supreme person, and you have become a prisoner here, suffering and loitering. Go back home, back to your father's house. Let us be eternally happy there. Why are you suffering here?"

My Guru Mahārāja says, "Back home, back home! Chalo ghar, ghar ko chalo, back home." Mahājanas, great souls, say this to remind the conditioned souls. Just as Prahlāda Mahārāja, a nitya siddha, an eternally liberated, perfect devotee, came here by the desire of the Supreme Lord. 

Sometimes, the Lord comes here to see the prisoners and teach them about their real identity. Similarly, His pure devotees also come. They come to this prison house, but they are not prisoners. The king sometimes visits the prison house, but he is not a prisoner; the prison laws do not apply to him. Similarly, when the Lord comes here to this prison house, the prison house of the material world, the prison laws are not effective on Him. He is not attached to the material world or material enjoyment. Similarly, the ever-liberated soul, the pure devotee when he comes, is also not affected, and the laws of the prison house do not apply to him either. The Supreme Lord and His devotees both come here to teach the conditioned souls how to become devotees.
