Laskhmi sa prabhu association 14 mtr

Prabhu responsible for cleansing of temple and facility department.. Background work.thankless job..but still serving for more than 9 years..various temples like chennai, hyderabad, vrindavan, now Bangalore.
So prabhu's journey..engineering.. Then isro selected..same time iskcon visit sunday evening..with friend..harinam mandap chanted 1 round..some cleansing felt..then narsimha aarti on narsimha jayanti..amazing experience..full spiritual vibration..main Temple vibrating... Then someone just asked if he can do some service..and he just said yes..then some prasadam laddos to keep near krisnamrita kitchen..and then to distribute it ..so this way he did for more than 2-3 hours the service..thus lots of cleansing happening inside...so this way he was telling he has to choose between cricket and folk and slowly he started choosing folk each time..thus temple coming became part of his life..
Once some senior devotee asked prabhu whats your future plan? Prabhu got scared stopped coming to temple..then that prabhu called him telling dont worry..come at least and do KC...Krishna will inspire you from inside.
His main focus was-
Service and chanting should go parallel because service will cleanse the heart (eg paduseva will cut false ego) and make the mind n senses less agitating this we can hear more attentively.
Hearing is required... Bcoz by chanting we are invoking Krishna's incoming but if suppose he is outside door but we are not opening it then whose fault is this. So, we have to receive him in form of sound vibration and then Krishna can enter our heart and do miracle.
Other's process not that effective like yoga,meditations bcoz this one is only the authorized on for this age...kali kale naam rupe krsna avtara.

For service like preaching..we need enthusiasm, eagerness ...but how? Homework..sadhana strong, reading strong, hearing lectures.
Two sounds ..two hearing , speaking inside mind..one is maya consciousness and other is KC...
So our spiritual intelligence can keep our mind and this senses engage in KC else they will be dragged towards maya consciousness..so to stop this internal sound of contamination of mind , we have to keep our consciousness on spiritual platform by developing spiritual intelligence... Sadhana, association.

Association is important- eg once prabhu was feeling dull few days ago and could not focus on his chanting so he went to some devotees association who were chanting very seriously in an erect position and immediately that desire or enthusiasm came to him from inside and he felt inspired to chant attentively.
Story of king chasing deer..deep i jungle alone..tired..found parrot..king is aline kill him, catch him..felt decoits are nearby rab and came to one Hermitage ..another similar parrot..telling welcome.he asked how? Parrot replied he is my brother but because he is brought up in decoit association so he is trained that way but me this way.

Some job offer if comes.. Nice package but work as well..what to do..?
1. Seek guidance from folk guide or senior devotees, share with them bcoz they have experience more than you and they have faced these situations so they can guide you.
Plus remember nothing in this material...what is material?.that which is separate from Krishna so just connect to krishna and it will become spiritual.
Like 1st class service to krishna is full time but in yoga ladder 12 th chapter krishna says that if not full surrender you can so partial ones like 4 regulative principle already following so add 1 more in it..that is offering results to krishna that way it will be spiritualized.

Narada muni...few times he ate remnants and all sins gone..full devotee..but we eating fro. Such long time..still no effect.
Krishna prasadam has same potency but Bcoz our mind is also strong..so the change is not happening immediately.

So narada muni initiated so many pure devotees...dhruva, prahlada, vyasdeva..
So SP is same for us...we have been given this opportunity to become pure devotees and we can go back in this life only if we just become aware of this mercy ...this gift that how fortunate we are ...outside so large population but devoid of KC livibg terrible animalistic... But we only few but prabhupada's blessing..now service and devotees.

Suppose I am satisfied in whatever position i am in currently...then is it fine?
No, just like if i am studying jn class 1 and i feel satisfied then how will i get PHD degree no i have to advance to class 2, 3.....10, 12 . so, eagerness is required in devotional life otherwise we cannot advance. There are devotees who are coning to temple for 10-15 years but still jo seriousness because they are satisfied in whatever stage they are. So ,there progress is hampered.

But does it mean one has to be always dissatisfied to do KC.
No, satisfaction is the key to our further practice. If we are not getting satisfaction here then we will leave ...so satisfaction is required but for further advancement that hunger or eagerness also required.

In service ..we should follow authority as it is..once MPP gave task to a devotee and he faced some impediments could not complete so he asked MPP about this...MPP replied di you followed as it is. He cross checked the list and found one step missed..then he followed same and accomplished that task. As it is bcoz authority is more experienced.
Devotee qualification ...humble and meek bcoz if rebelous , then there is more struggle in Progress.

If some impediments coming in devotional service...and our mind occupied with anxieties or thoughts related to that...it us good because this way mind not thinking of maya.

So, feeling very low, lazy, dull.
Means maya's influence is high..so we should check all this by determined sadhana and thus with intelligence we can control mind and senses as krishna said in BG.

All service on same level..no higher or lower degree..it is said that service rendered by radha and a cow is of same degree only the type of relationship is deferred.
