The material nature appears to us like an autopilot in the eyes of modern science. The modern scientists are able to find only the immediate cause of all that is manifested by the energies of material nature but the real fact that it is executed by the will of Krsna behind the scenes. 

When we dont act according to the will of Krishna as propounded by the acharyas and the scriptures, the illusory energy or the three modes of material nature will take over and make us serve to the illusory energy for we have failed to abide by the laws of the Supreme Lord. There are only two things, Maya or Krsna. If we fail to serve Krsna, we will go into autopilot mode where the 3 modes of material nature dictate us to act despicably and in abominable ways and that makes us to even think who is pushing us to do such and such. So act now to surrender to Krsna or get into autopilot :-) mode to serve maya.
