Giriraj Swami read and spoke from Sri Caitanya-caritamrta,Madhya-lila, 12.200-222.

” ‘There are two ideas. One is that if you serve Krishna, the guru will be pleased. And the other is that if you serve the guru, Krishna will be pleased. But if you serve the Vaishnavas, both Krishna and guru will be pleased.’ When I first joined, I heard that Srila Prabhupada said that if a devotee ever asks you to do service, you should agree, and if a devotee offers to do service for you, you should decline. So, it is a practice which can become a habit—second nature.”
