Krishna is unlimited, but the more we advance in service attitude,
we appreciate Him in newer and newer features.
There is a verse spoken by Yamuna Acharya.
He says, “since I have begun to realize the newer and newer features of Krishna,
I have forgotten more and more about material enjoyment.”
The more you forget about nonsense material enjoyment,
you must know you are advancing in Krishna Consciousness.
You haven't got to ask anybody how you are making progress,
you will realize yourself by this test.
Just like a person taking lunch, he will feel satisfied of hunger and strength, himself.
Similarly, the more you serve Krishna,
you will forget material hankerings and get spiritual strength.
We should learn to depend on Krishna more and more.
Actually, Krishna is always guiding us as Super soul, but due to our forgetfulness,
we do not understand that Krishna is everlasting friend.
With advance of Krishna Consciousness one is able to realize that Krishna is always with His devotees—
not only with His devotees, also with the non-devotees, but the devotees can recognize His presence and the non-devotees cannot.
The more you make advancement in Krishna Consciousness you will see Krishna everywhere.
We are all conditioned souls so we are affected by Maya,
but if we sincerely chant and serve, our attachment for Krishna will be revived and
we will no more have to come under this Maya.
Eternally we will be serving the Lotus Feet of the Supreme Lord.
Krishna Consciousness is developed by following two parallel lines,
means service of Krishna, and service of the Spiritual Master.
This is the secret of success. The Spiritual Master must be bona fide, that is,
he must come down from a bona fide Spiritual Master and must
act according to the directions of the Spiritual Master,
and by doing so, he gives proper directions about Krishna
and the devotees serve Krishna under the direction of such Spiritual Master,
and Krishna accepts service, and in this way the whole thing becomes beautiful and successful. |
