Question: Does the Type of Service Make Any Difference?

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Your Divine Grace and Srimati Gurumataji
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Srila Gurudeva, different devotees have different ways of tackling with Maya. For example, if devotee A is disturbed, he likes to do more service to keep himself engaged, whereas ifdevotee B is disturbed he prefers to chant more or hear more, whereas if devotee C is disturbed he does something else. How does it make any difference in advancement in Krishna consciousness? Someone likes to chant more, someone likes to do kirtan more, someone likes service, does a devotee's inclination towards some aspect make a difference in one's rapid advancement or all of them advance at similar pace?

Thank you.
Your insignificant servant,
Lila Manjari devi dasi

Answer: Attitude is What Counts

How one conquers maya or illusion makes no difference. Every devotee can find what makes him strongest in his fight against maya and do that.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But
