Be grateful .......................Nectarean Mellows
The great Vaishnavas, whether there is danger or not, they are always in this mood of not demanding from Krishna but just pleading to Krishna - how can I serve you, how can I please you, I’m all yours; and in dealing with other devotees in that mood too. That is a great Vaishnava. Neophyte devotees, they require very serious tragedies to wake them up, but we should cultivate ‘taking Krishna’s blessings’ very seriously, as an act of love, as an act of real affection, not just a reaction to disaster; and then the disasters don’t even have to happen but living in this material world they might anyway. But it doesn’t matter, for one who has love; it doesn’t matter if there is disaster or if everything is perfect; Love means I’m yours Krishna, at every moment, I’m yours. And then you’re focused in your consciousness and you’re grateful. Grateful for the opportunity - I have a tongue and I could chant. Grateful for the opportunity that there is a devotee - I can serve, that I could help. Grateful for the opportunity that - the deities are here.

Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.
To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence. – Skand Puran
It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.
