In an office, you cannot contact the proprietor directly. There are subordinate officers. Through them you have to take the proprietor’s help. The office master is there. You have to satisfy the office master. You cannot directly approach the proprietor. If you satisfy the office master, then your promotion and other things is all right. I have got practical experience. One of my friend, he was working in office. So the proprietor was there, and many other employees were there. So that my friend, he suggested something to the proprietor, and the proprietor immediately dismissed him: “Oh, this man want to suggest me? Dismiss immediately. Give him his pay, he will go away.” In that I have got practical experience. He later on became so sorry. So we should not try to approach directly Krsna. That is not good idea. Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, gopi-bhartuh pada-kamalayor dasa-dasa-dasanudasah.
