How will the living entities, who are Krishna's servants, realize the Lord unless they constantly serve and associate with the guru and the Vaishnavas? If we are busy in worldly or family activities, how will we understand the Lord of the universe? Under the control of sinful desires, we have presently developed a bad mentlality: we think we have great duties to perform in this world. This is because we are averse to the original fountainhead.

Just as by stepping in quicksand one's legs are sucked down, so we have stepped into the quicksand of dependence on material phenomena and are being pulled down.
Instead of becoming inclined to serve Krishna, we spend our time influenced by sinful desires. Lord Vishnu's illusory energy has conditioned us to think that we are enjoyers and expert karmis. Be careful. Accept guidance at every step. Be extremely careful. It is vital that we are controlled by the spiritual master at every step.
Serving the devotees is more beneficial to us than serving the Lord. The living entities can reach more mercy by associating with devotees than from trying to associate directly with the Lord. The place where the spiritual master or a devotee resides is more favorable for the pure worship of Hari than the place where the Supreme Lord resides. Understand the purport of the phrase, "Wherever there are Vaiishnavas, that is Vrindavana"· If instead we are indifferent toward guru-seva, it means we have failed to become servants. It means we are proud and entangled ill material thought.
There is no greater topic of discussion in the theistic world than of how to serve the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Govinda. Always hear hari-katha. Do not become materialists, bereft of the transcendental Lord's service. Pay close attention to the worship of Hari. We have already passed so many lifetimes engaged in other activities. Be always cautious to attain the goal of life. Always carefully serve the spirilual master and Krishna with love and devotion and you will certainly realize the Supreme Lord.
