It can be discouraging if we try to please guru and Krishna yet do not see results. However, it is not the external results that satisfy guru and Krishna. Rather, they are satisfied when they see us becoming more dependent on Krishna. If we think only of results, our service can become mechanical, and we will gradually begin to think about recognition, attachment to results, and profit. We have to carefully uproot such motivations. Results come when Krishna sends them. When He sees that our motivation is sincere, He will give us whatever results He likes. Everything is completely His choice. All we can choose is whether or not we wish to serve Him voluntarily.
