Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hare Krishna. Krishna does not need anyhting from us. But by offering him food and service, we get an opportunity to show our love for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Its true prabhu we must love krishna, we love him for the sake of his blessings but it goes against true love isn't it is offence? so how we should we will have intuitive love for krishna, how we need to convince and rule the mind? and get the obsolute knowledge?

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 the answers above have been very nicely put. Another point is, what kind of relationship do you want with the Supreme? Mayavadis wish to merge with the impersonal Brahman - so there, there is no service or any reciprocation of feelings. We find this sort of liberation to be a hellish. So, the reason to serve the Lord is show Him your feelings, and the best part is - the Lord will reciprocate His feelings for you!! If you take one step towards Krishna, He will take ten towards you.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 is the word 'serve.' You don't serve him as you do a human master who demands much from you. In Krishna's case, it is different. You just love him and out of that love, surrender your ahankar and let Krishna perform his lila using you as a channel. That's real service, to let krishna perform his lila. As you can see, it is not as if you 'do' something to please or serve him. You do nothing. You just love him, you surrender to him. That's real enjoyment, to do *nothing* so that Krishna can act through you. You serve him by doing nothing and enjoying his lila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
