Question: People don’t know anything about yoga…
Answer: When you preach, people will start coming.
Question: Sometimes we spend a lot of money and effort and the result is insignificant…
Answer: Don’t consider aiming at the result, that is not bhakti! You should just do your duty, Krsna says so in the Bhagavad Gita.
Karmis aim at their own benefit, bhaktas don’t!
Jnanis want to detach themselves with the help of knowledge and merge into the brahman effulgence (brahma-sayujya), and yogis want to merge into the Paramatma (Paramatma-sayujya).
Devotees/bhaktas only want to serve Krsna according to their mood of service.
The result is the service itself and not what came in return!
People do not have sukrti, so they do not come to hear harikatha, but as we speak harikatha, Krsna inspires; preaching is very important!
Guru-seva and Guru-bhakti are instructions from Mahaprabhu to Nitai and Haridasa.
Where there is no discrimination between jiva and Bhagavan, there is offense, and hence comes the conceptions of merging in brahman and Paramatma.
Difference between love and lust, and transcendental kama means desire and seva (service).
If the heart is not clean and neat, it is not possible to understand rasa-katha.
