Niranjana Swami's Quote Of The Day

October 27

Every living being by nature has to do something. Because a soul is eternal and the activity of the soul is desire, so everyone has to do something and not for a moment can the living entity be totally inactive.

Because desire is the eternal companion of the soul, one has to learn how to transform this desire: transform lust into love, transform work results into the work for the pleasure of the Supreme Lord. This is when one truly understands the difference between action and inaction.

Although you would like to be more recognized, and therefore due to the lack of recognition, you dwell upon your "false ego", your real glory will only come, when you realize that you are a servant, and not the controller. Krishna will give you all facility to do something wonderful for Him, but first learn how to be His servant, by serving His devotees! See it as your good fortune that you are being given so much opportunity to serve Krishna's devotees, and use your mind to improve the quality of that service. By genuinely developing this attitude, you will never be the loser, but only the gainer, a million times.

So the sound of Krishna's flute, this is another way that Krishna captures the attention of the residents of Vrindavana, and immediately they are seeing Krishna, they remembering Krishna. This is the actual perfectional stage of life. This is that stage which is experienced by the residents of Vrindavana. They don’t know anyone except Krishna and they never think of Krishna as the Supreme Lord, but they are only seeing Krishna in terms of the relationship that they have with Krishna.
