pretence of doing service is not service. Without following your Guru you
will get nothing—you will get no result."

Delay No More
"You must surrender properly, and understand what our service line is. We
must not follow our minds because now we have a bona fide Guru and we are
his servants. We took initiation from the Guru to serve him, not to
use him for our own service."

"Give some time to the Lord. You have got this body, it is like a boat, and
the Guru is the captain of the boat—if you do not try to cross this
ocean of material life, if you do not want to go to a higher plane, then you
are committing suicide. Try, search for Sri Krishna, Reality the

Your Fortune, My Fortune
"You have assembled here today for this occasion to give mercy to a fallen
soul like myself. I feel humbled and very fortunate. It is very difficult to
get the darshan of Vaishnavs. When I am giving initiation, do you know
what I am remembering?..."
Be Conscious and
Cautious
"To live eternally in Vraja, you must enter a relationship with your Guru,
after that if you practise, you can understand your destination. How can we
make Gurudev happy? If we can understand it step by step, then we will be
able to understand the main teaching."
Greatness Is Not Measured by
Cloth
"Religion means we must bring the jiva souls to Krishna consciousness.
Gurudev gave this duty to me, and this is not only my responsibility, it is
your responsibility too. Gurudev said, 'One does not become a sannyasi
just by wearing a sannyasi's clothes.'"
Surrender: Eye-Opener
"'Do you not know who this is? Can you not recognise Him? He is the Guru of
all, He is Lord Krishna Himself! He has come to this world to awaken the
souls. He took sannyas from Keshav Bharati.' Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya
did not believe it."
Mercy Means Anugatya
"It is necessary to always think about the order of your Guru. Guru's mercy
means following the order of the Guru—if you follow the order of your Guru,
then you get his mercy. You can go to the market, buy chanting beads and
chant on them—but it is not the same."
Neither Cry nor
Laugh
"You must ask yourself first, 'Do you love yourself or your Guru more? Do you
love the Lord or yourself more?' Examine yourself. How long will you sleep in
the lap of Maya? How long will you choke and struggle in the waters of
Maya?"
Pure Current
"This Name was chanted in many villages, but with offence, and Bhaktivinod
Thakur, holding the current of devotion, preached the pure Holy Name to this
world just as Maharaj Bhagirath brought the Ganges to this world."

Service Encouragement
