1. Don’t see what others are doing. Do what Guru says. You may not be recognised by others. But that will please Guru.
2. Bhakti means devotional service, we have to serve Krishna. What Guru says, we have to do it.
3. Prabhupada was serving Krishna even at the last movement of his life. He was translating. Service means what spiritual authority says, you do that.
One who will distribute Prabhupada’s books, he will go back to Godhead.
If you are doing bhajan properly, Krishna will give you intelligence. If intelligence is not coming, then understand that there may be something wrong with me. I am not doing proper sadhana, not doing devotional service with joy, doing everything mechanically, enjoying in bhakti, behaving with Guru like a materialistic worldly person, not telling him what my internal problem is. If you won’t tell doctor exactly what your problem is, you tell something else, but he is judging the nerve that the disease is different than what you are telling, then how will he cure you?
1. Unless you are fully obedient to the spiritual master, it is not possible to follow the instructions. Unless you follow the instructions of the spiritual master, you can’t be successful in spiritual life because everything depends on the spiritual master’s pleasure upon you and his blessings. So it is called sadhana. Just blindly follow.
2. Be very careful to follow the instructions of a Sad-guru, otherwise you don’t know what your destiny holds.
