Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 letter from--------- His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada You are thinking that because you cannot take part in the translation work therefore you will contribute for its publication. This dictation from within your heart from Krishna is quite in order. For serving the Lord we require to sacrifice our life, our wealth, our intelligence, and our words. One can serve the Lord with these four possessions — if not, then with three, if not, then two, or even one, and that is sufficient to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I wish that you can use your best talents in business organization and utilize the result for Krishna’s satisfaction. This is on the absolute platform. To make the idea more clear, if I am translating Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and you are contributing for its publication and helping for its distribution, then there is no difference between your service and my service. On the absolute platform there is no such distinction. And service is always on the absolute platform. One has to make the best use of his talent for the service of Krishna. That is wanted. The best example is Arjuna, he utilized his talents in military science in the service of Krishna. — Letter to Gargamuni Das, 7 June 1968.

So many things can be learned from these simple letters and a different point may stick out to us under the guiding hand of Paramatma, according to what we may need to hear at the moment. Here I see Supersoul instructing gargamuni in his execution of devotional service and then confirming that instruction externally through the writing of Srila Prabhupada.
