Secret
If Krishna is pleased, you will feel pleased. This is automatic. If you are not feeling happy, that means Krishna is not happy by your service.
Knowing the Heart of Guru
If you want to know the heart of Guru, then you should follow his instructions strictly. Then seeing your sincerity, he will reveal secrets before you.
Obedience
If you follow exactly what Guru says, Guru will protect you from maya.
Attitude of a Disciple
Remain a fool before Guru. Do what he says. Then see the result.
Inquiring Properly
After the disappearance of Guru, there is trouble. So the disciple should inquire properly till Guru is physically present. He should inquire about his field of work and the way to do that.
Secret of Success
Strictly follow what Guru says. Don’t commit offense towards the vaishnavas, and then, sure, in one life, you will go back to Godhead.
Chastisement by Guru
Guru sometimes chastises his disciples left and right, uses harsh words. Then again takes him near like a father. One should use everything to become Krishna Conscious.
Treasures
Disciple should get all the treasure what Guru has got.
Destiny
We are responsible for our destiny. Krishna is not responsible. We have got free will.
Conviction
1. This bhakti process is just like taking food. If you are eating, you feel satisfied. You don’t need to ask others. Action speaks how much conviction you have got.
2. Prabhupada said, “what I have written, that is for the whole life of ISKCON. One can write big-big things but you have to realize it also.” It is not so easy. Do you have shastriya shraddha? Do you believe everything written in shastras? Who is here who can say that he believes everything there written in Bhagavad-gita?
