So, now Nimai is standing before him, soaking wet from the bath in the Ganga with the shaved head and Kesava Bharati says, “You are the Supreme Lord and if this is how you want to teach the world to make me your guru, I am your servant.” And then he gave the two pieces of saffron cloth to our beloved Lord Gauranga. The Lord put on the saffron dress of a sanyasi. When the people saw him without his beautiful golden robes, without his jewellery and his garlands, without his luxurious cascading hair, their hearts were broken. But still, in the saffron robes of a sanyasi, he was so unlimitedly beautiful. He charmed their hearts. They fell unconditionally in love with this form of Mahaprabhu as a sanyasi. Then, the Lord did something that was wonderful.

Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu Accepting Sannyas

So, if we are bored, if we are not finding ecstasy and excitement and adventure at every moment, that means we are not Krishna Conscious. That means we are still material conscious, it means we are forgetful of Krishna, it means we still have to go through all these artificial devices just to forget the boredom, the frustration of the bodily concept of life.  It is a fact. So, while we are in this state, a devotee wants to purify his senses by always engaging them in the loving service of the Lord, by worshiping the deity, by having wonderful wonderful sankirtan with so many loving devotees, by hearing the glories of the Lord in the Srimad Bhagvatam, by engaging in the service of the Lord, whether it be cooking for the deities or cleaning the children’s toilets, a devotee simply feels such bliss and such love just by keeping his senses always with Krishna in His service. Nothing is ordinary.

Nothing Is Routine For A Devotee

you have to struggle, you have to work, you have to push, you have to surrender, you have to do it with good intelligence. But the way you are pushing, the way you are surrendering will have longevity, you will be able to continue this way with enthusiasm. And as far as accepting guidance, if you are sincere, you will seek out guidance. If you are insincere, you will say, “Oh my guru is not here, who will I turn to?” But the fact is there are so many wonderful vaishanvas who understand the philosophy and who can help you. And if you are sincere, you will turn to them and you will accept guidance. If you are sincere, when you are reading the books or hearing the tapes of the great acaryas or the great devotees of the lord, you will receive so much guidance through them, practically all your questions will be answered.  What to speak of all the devotees who are present, who have so much experience?
