Rely on Silence - Part 4

In the situation you are speaking out, if you are not associating with devotees very-very regularly, hearing from them, doing some seva, doing sadhana, you are finished, your consciousness will definitely be washed away by illusion. But if this is the service they were asked to perform, we have to do it as Priyavrata had to do it. But we have to be very careful. The first thing is we must regularly associate with devotees, understand how desperate we need to and have good sadhana. And the second thing is we are working so hard, we are competing so ferociously, what are we going to do with the results? We have to give it to Krishna; we have to make that sacrifice. Then, Krishna sees that we are actually doing it for Him and then He will actually really protect us.

How To Be Krishna Consciousness When We Are Busy At Work?

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.
