Srila Prabhupada
Our first duty is to satisfy the spiritual master, who can arrange for the Lord’s mercy. A common man must first begin to serve the spiritual master or the devotee. Then, through the mercy of the devotee, the Lord will be satisfied. Unless one receives the dust of a devotee’s lotus feet on one’s head, there is no possibility of advancement. Unless one approaches a pure devotee, he cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. — Sri Chaitanya caritamrita, Madhya Lila, 11.58.
It is true that by practicing restraint of the senses by the yoga system one can get relief from the disturbances of desire and lust, but this is not sufficient to give satisfaction to the soul, for this satisfaction is derived from devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 01.16.35.
When a person whistles then the whistle is one toned whistle. It may be sweet but only one toned. But when it comes in the contact with a lip whole and finger holes of a flute then it generates wonderful Ragas.Similarly Krishna is like that sweet whistle. But the devotees are like the finger holes. As soon as krishna comes in contact of the devotees then rasas are generated. Various sweet rasas.
Satisfaction can be disturbed by our surroundings, but Krishna Consciousness can help us transcend everything.
Be satisfied with who you are. If you are not, you will tend to be jealous of others and unhappy with yourself. Be happy with the way Krsna made you and use the gifts He has given you to further your service.
