Enjoy by Serving the Supreme Enjoyer
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram, Austin,
Texas USA | |

Here
in this material world we are trying to be the enjoyers
of all that we survey. But the actual enjoyer of a
particular thing is its owner, not others. Because we
are unlawfully trying to enjoy what belongs to somebody
else, we are criminals and are thus bound to remain
imprisoned in the cycle of birth and death. How can we
claim to be the owners of anything when we come into
this world with nothing, and we also leave with nothing?
It is Lord Krishna who is the real proprietor. Instead
of trying to enjoy His property as our own, if we will
instead engage everything in His service, we will give
Him unlimited satisfaction. And then when He is
satisfied, because He is the root of everything, we will
become unlimitedly satisfied, just as when we water the
root of a tree all the leaves and branches become
watered.

Question:
Can a Devotee Make a Difference? |
|
I am someone who is
interested in being of service to the world rather than
to myself. This is something I have been involved in for
years. From being a small child I was always interested
in others before myself and when I look at what I really
want it is for the world to be a better place. I love
people, humanity and want to make a lasting difference.
When people speak of attaining enlightenment I have
always been clear I didn't come here for that in this
lifetime.
So my question is: Can I be out in the world making a
difference as a Krishna devotee, or do I have to start
withdrawing from the world to be His devotee? I am not
interested in any spiritual practice that involves
removing myself and withdrawing from the world.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Answer: Only a Devotee Can Make
a Real Difference |
|
As it is said, "Physician
heal thyself." If you want to liberate others from
misery, you must first become liberated yourself. You
cannot liberate others without being liberated yourself.
Any attempt to liberate others as long as you are not
liberated with not be successful in spite of your good
intentions. The Lord's devotee is the best welfare
worker. He is a liberated soul who fully absorbs himself
24 hours daily in doing the highest welfare of
delivering all of the illusioned souls, who are suffering
endlessly in the cycle of birth and death, back to their
original home in the all-blissful spiritual sky. He is the only person who is a making a real difference
in this world. Others are simply maintaining status quo
of birth, death, old age, and disease. So if you
want to do real service for the world, you must become a
devotee of Krishna.
