Death is not a big thing, what is important is God’s service.
The spiritual master and Krishna are two parallel lines. The train, on two tracks, moves forward. The spiritual master and Krishna are like these two tracks, they must be served simultaneously. Krishna helps one to find bona fide spiritual master and bona fide spiritula Master helps one to understand Krishna. If one does not get bona fide spiritual master, then how he can ever understand Krishna? You cannot serve Krishna without spiritual master, or serve just spiritual master without serving Krishna. They must be served simultaneously. — Letter to Mahapurusha, 12th Feb, 1968.
There may rivalries and apparent competitions between servants in performing service, but in the Vaikuntha planets the service of another servant is appreciated not condemned. This is Vaikuntha competition. — Srimad Bhagavatam, 07.05.12.
To the degree we cultivate the spirit of selfless service, to that degree we’ll actually find bliss in life.
As dalliance with the body in luxury increases, so wanes the spirit of service of the Lord.
