Guruve Namah

Initiation is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to this path. As soon as we have faith in a guru and the willingness to serve and to follow, then our relationship with our Guru has been established. But the particular ceremony, the particular offering of initiation is a deep, sincere, lifelong commitment to follow. ‘yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado’ to please our Guru, and please all the previous acharya and Krishna, though the sincerity of our efforts, 
So these vows that are taken, sometimes Prabhupad would call them rules and regulations. And especially Srila Prabhupada explains from Krishna’s words in Bhagavad Gita ‘raga-dvesa-vimuktais tu’ these are the regulative principles of freedom. They're not meant to bind us, they're meant to the parade us because we're already bound. Sometimes people think that these rules and regulations are too restrictive. But the reality is we are already restricted, our hands, our legs, our heads, our feets, our hearts, our brains, every part of us is shackled, like prisoners of Maya’s dictations. And whatever principles there are in Bhakti, are there to liberate us from those shackles, liberate us from that bondage, so that we could actually be free to live by the real spirit of the soul, to be free, to love Krishna, to be an instrument of Krishna’s love and to be happy, to be free from the fear of death and all the uncertainties of life. So, we're taking vows for this purpose.

Initiation Is The Beginning Of A Lifelong Commitment

You may be content now that you are Krishna Conscious, that really, “I don’t need much more of anything.” And if it’s your service, you just live a simple life and just go out and preach and that’s what you should do. You shouldn’t try for anything more. You just take what you need, work just enough for what you need and then forget anything else, don’t compete. Survive and just be with devotees and help. That’s your service, you should be like that. Let anyone criticize, what to be care? But if our service is to facilitate, then we should be greedy, we should compete, we should fight, we should defeat all opposition so that we can take as much as we can and utilize it for the suffering humanity in the service of Krishna. We have to understand what our services. We have to be willing to strive. Arjuna was content going to the forest, but Krishna said, “No, you fight, you win, for Me.” We have to be willing to do that. And if it means that we become vicious, we are willing to become vicious for Krishna, not for ourselves.
