Radhanath Swami on Service Mood
There are different types of services - one could lead a household life and earn one's livelihood while developing spiritual values, or one could submit one's life to preaching the values of God consciousness or one could reside in a temple and dutifully perform elaborate worship of the deity. Even though these three services are altogether different, they are actually one and the same. This is because the Lord is an essence seeker - he only sees the spirit of devotion - whether one is a monk living in a temple and preaching, or a householder with an occupation. No service is better than the other; where there is devotion all are equal.

ReplyDeleteLord Krishna is so merciful that He considers the intent to be more important than the service itself. And spiritual leaders like Radhanath Swami make it even easier by encouraging and facilitating that spark of devotion in beginners like us.
ReplyDeleteLord Krishna shows His divine mercy through the bona fide spiritual masters like HH Radhanath Swami. This small article clearly points out to the devotion which is the most important fuel for the vehicle of our body to run upto the destination of Lord Krishna's divine Lotus Feet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Radhanath Swami for such a wonderful message.
ReplyDeleteWhere ever Radhanath Swami Maharaj visits, genuine love among people around develops. He fills everyone's heart with service attitude by his own example. Maharaj's guidance makes every activity trancendental.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully explained by Radhanath Swami - essence is devotion in whatever activities. If there is no devotion in services we do, it does not satisfy the Lord no matter what we are doing externally.
