MY service.
\nKadamba Kanana Swami: Our favourite song which we chant so happily, \u201cSar\u012bra abidy\u0101-j\u0101l, jod\u0323endriya t\u0101he k\u0101l, j\u012bve phele vis\u0323aya-s\u0101gore, t\u0101\u2019ra madhye jihw\u0101 ati, lobhamoy sudurmati,\u201d translates to, \u201cThe senses are a network leading to death and of all the senses the tongue is the most voracious to control\u2026\u201d It sounds quite intense actually but by the mercy of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda, by engaging the tongue in transcendental activities of glorifying Krsna and tasting Krsna prasad, suddenly everything changes \u2013 our whole destiny changes. Thus it is the tongue which changes our destiny!
\nA big ship, heavy with so many tons of steel, is moving along and changing direction by means of a tiny piece of metal called the rudder. In the same way, the tongue can change the destiny of our entire existence so somehow we must engage that tongue and if we engage the tongue in connection with Krsna then very quickly we become attached to Krsna. This is the nature of Krsna consciousness, param\u0301 dr\u0323s\u0323t\u0323v\u0101 nivartate (Bhagavad-gita 2.59), that we will develop a higher taste. One cannot serve Krsna without developing attachment.<\/p>\n

In the beginning when we start, we may find things a bit austere but after a while we think, \u201cThis is my service and I am not going to stop my service. This is my connection to Krsna!\u201d In Krsna consciousness there is philosophy but the actual connection to Krsna is by service \u2013 whatever little thing we do. After some time, one becomes possessive about it, \u201cIt is MY service.\u201d We become protective of our service because attachment develops. This is the nature of devotional service that attachment to Krsna naturally develops therefore, Krsna consciousness is not difficult to follow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

MY service.
\nKadamba Kanana Swami: Our favourite song which we chant so happily, “Sarīra abidyā-jāl, joḍendriya tāhe kāl, jīve phele viṣaya-sāgore, tā’ra madhye jihwā ati, lobhamoy sudurmati,” translates to, “The senses are a network leading to death and of all the senses the tongue is the most voracious to control…” It sounds quite intense actually but by the mercy of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda, by engaging the tongue in transcendental activities of glorifying Krsna and tasting Krsna prasad, suddenly everything changes – our whole destiny changes. Thus it is the tongue which changes our destiny!
\nA big ship, heavy with so many tons of steel, is moving along and changing direction by means of a tiny piece of metal called the rudder. In the same way, the tongue can change the destiny of our entire existence so somehow we must engage that tongue and if we engage the tongue in connection with Krsna then very quickly we become attached to Krsna. This is the nature of Krsna consciousness, paraḿ dṛṣṭvā nivartate (Bhagavad-gita 2.59), that we will develop a higher taste. One cannot serve Krsna without developing attachment.<\/p>\n
