One who is always trying to be engaged in Krsna’s service will accept whatever duties are given to him and he will always try the best he can. This is the most important consciousness that he has in execution of his duties, that he does it for Krsna and is not attached to the results.

When one acts in false ego, he can’t hear Krsna’s instructions and becomes lost. So this minute independence is there within the heart of every living being and the spiritual master must continue to give transcendental knowledge and the disciple must be a proper receptacle by which he can receive that transcendental knowledge.

It is possible to become free from personal motivations when one always thinks, that he has been given this duty - to give Krsna consciousness to others - and sees no qualifications within himself, he thinks: "still, somehow just let me try". That’s all.

When a devotee is so fully depended upon the Lord and is always engaged in rendering service to the Lord, He actually takes charge of the devotee’s departure from this world. He carries him across the ocean of repeated birth and death and accepts him into His eternal association in the spiritual world.
