DEAR DEVOTEE,

HAVING READ THE BHAGAVAT GITA, YOU MUST'VE NOTICED THAT, ARJUNA, WHO WAS A KSHATRIYA (A WARRIOR) BY CAST, FOUGHT HIS WAY AND THATS HOW HE SERVED THE GOD. I DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR CAST IS, BUT WHEREVER YOU ARE, BE IT A BROADWAY BUSINESS STREET OR A TEMPLE, LOOKING EVERYTHING IN GOD AND LOOKING GOD IN EVERYTHING AND THEREBY ACCEPTING ALL THAT HAPPENS I.E. PLEASURE & PAINS, ALL AS BUT PART OF HIS MAYA AND TO THEREBY KNOW THE TRUTH IS CERTAINLY A KINDA HIS SERVICE. HE DOES IT ALL JUST TO BRING US CLOSER TO HIM, AND TRUST ME, WITHOUT TESTING THE STING OF THIS MATERIAL WORLD, NOT EVERYONE GIVES A DAMN TO THE SACRED LORD, SO NEXT TIME YOU GET SUCH A HONEST STING, THINK OF GOD AND THANK HIM!

 

DOING ANY JOB JUST WITH A FEELING OF SERVING THE GOD, WITHOUT ANY FAINTEST ATTACHMENT TO ITS RESULTS, GOOD OR BAD, IN SHORT DOING YOUR JOB WITHOUT SENSE OF EGO IS, I THINK, A WAY TO SERVE THE GOD. ARJUNA, WHEN WAS SHIVERING ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND ASKED THE GOD TO RELEASE FROM THAT DUTY AND SEND HIM TO SOME SOLITARY PLACE, WAS TOLD ALMOST THE SAME GIST. NOW THAT YOU ARE UNDER RESPONSIBILITIES, A BATTLEFIELD, YOU CANT RUN AWAY, DO YOUR JOB WITHOUT A FAINTEST SENSE OF EGO, ACCEPT EVERYTHING, EULOGIES AND DISDAINS, PROFITS AND LOSSES, ACCEPTING IT ALL JUST AS PRASADAM FROM THE SACRED LORD KRSNA, WOULD DEFINITELY HELP YOUR CAUSE.

OF COURSE, RECITATION OF MAHAMANTRA, AND OTHER SACRED TEXTS WILL CERTAINLY PAVE YOUR WAY TO HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

 

IN THE END,

 

*DO YOUR JOB HONESTLY & SINCERETY,

 

*DONT DO JOBS WHICH ARE AGAINST HUMANITY,

 

*DO YOUR JOB WITH UTMOST COMMITMENT,

 

*DONT DO JOB FOR MERE SALARY,

 

*TRY TO GIVE 100%,

 

*GET OUTTA EGO BURDEN, IF YOU FAIR WELL, GRACE OF THE GOD; IF YOU FAIL, GRACE OF THE GOD,

 

*ALWAYS THINK THAT YOU'RE SERVING THE GOD,

 

*TELL ME, WHO HAS MADE YOUR WORKPLACE, IS IT SELF BORNE?, OR ARE ITS INCORORATORS SELFBORNE? ISN'T YOUR FAMILY A PART OF HIM?, AREN'T YOUR BOSS &/OR COLLIGUES &/OR SUBORDINATES PARTS OF HIM?, ARE THEY ALL NOT BUT EMNATIONS FROM THAT SACRED FATHER'S NAVEL? ITS ALL MADE BY HIM, THERE IS ONELY ONE EXISTENCE, THAT IS HIM, HE IS THE TEACHER, HE IS THE STUDENT AND HE IS THE TAUGHT, HE IS THE UN-TAUGHT, ITS ONLY YOUR CONDITIONAL MIND THAT MAKES YOU THINK OR DOUBT THESE TRUTHS. VISNU MEANS, THE ONE WHO PERVADES EVERYTHING NOT ONLY NUCLEUS OF CELLS AND ATOMS BUT EVEN THE THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS WHICH ARE SO SUBTLE AND ALL THE WAY TO THIS VAST UNIVERSE (THE BIGGEST UNIT OF MEASUREMENT WE KNOW) AND NOTHING PERVADES HIM, SO NEXT TIME YOU BREATH, ITS HE IN THE FORM OF AIR, NEXT TIME YOU HEAR, ITS HE IN THE FORM OF SOUND, AND THE WORLD GOES ON...SEE EVERYTHING AS A PART OF HIM.

 

*MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, BE HONEST TO YOUR DEEPEST SELF AND LOVE THE GOD!

 

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR DEEP FEELINGS TO SERVE THE GOD, IF ITS REALLY TRUE, GOD WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HELP YOU BREED IT.

Thanks a ton GOD SEED for a very very convincing reply. I am into KC since a year now and regularly read all the books by Prabhupada - hard copies or on the websites. It's really a pleasure to live in KC.

 

Every Sunday morning at 7 a.m. I visit the Ras Bihari Mandir at Mira Road come what may.

 

Thanks again for your advise.
