thinks, "How can I serve a
sadhu? What is it that I can actually do to please him? Bring him his shoes?"
How many times can you bring him the shoes? Certainly, that`s one way to render
service. You can bring him the shoes. You can render some personal service. But
what is actually in the heart of a sadhu? What does he actually want to reveal
to the world? When Krsna`s there, in the heart of a sadhu, the sadhu wants to
give Krsna to everyone. So, what should we do to reciprocate to that sadhu who
has awakened love for Krsna in our hearts? Even a moment`s association with the
sadhu can awaken this love within our heart. How can we ever repay for it?
There we were, heading to hell, millions of births. And the sadhu changed the
course of our lives. He awakened that little desire within our hearts to serve
Krsna and love Krsna. What can we do to repay that debt? What can we possibly
do that can please him? For millions of births we cannot repay that debt!
Because even if we come back for millions of births, birth after birth, after
birth, he has awakened devotional service to Krsna in hearts! It doesn`t make
any difference! Even birth and death repeatedly in the material world Х a
devotee is prepared to accept that! Because without devotional service there is
no meaning to life! What can I do to please the sadhu?! How can I repay him?!
We have to go crazy! Our mind should go crazy!!! There`s nothing I can possibly
do to repay this debt! It`s impossible! But I have to try! I want to give this
life and I want to try to repay him! Even though it`s impossible!!! What can I
possibly do?! What does he want us to do?! He wants us to love Krsna. He wants
us to give Krsna to everyone. That`s what he wants. That`s his desire. THAT HAS
TO BE AWAKENED IN OUR HEARTS. If we want to preach Krsna consciousness, if we
want to expand this preaching, we have to preach with THIS desire in our
hearts. This desire is, "I have a debt I can never repay. Let me give this
life! Every breath of this life! Let me pray to the spiritual master and Krsna
to please give me opportunity to try. Let me preach as you preached! It`s not
possible I could ever compare with your preaching. But please, give me the
streangth. Please, give me the desire. Please, let me preach as you preached!
Because it was your preaching that saved me! And I can never repay that debt!"
That`s what will increase the preaching of Krsna Consciousness Movement.
(A devotee who had asked the question asks Guru Maharaja to grant him with pure
love to the Lord)
Guru Maharaja: Take it. Take it on your head! It`s the order. It`s been given
to us. We simply have to take the order. That`s what Lord Caitanya said. "How
many fruits can I distribute? I am asking everyone: please, take these fruits.
But don`t eat them all yourselves. If you really want to relish them,
distribute them. That`s how you relish them. Take these fruits and distribute
them. Make your life happy and successful."
