“G u r u m u k h a p a d m a v a k y a"
The greatest pleasure of our life.......................Nectarean Mellows
A selfish person eats and feels happy. A selfless person finds more happiness in feeding others. Yes? A father has some love for the child, has some affection for the child. What brings the father more happiness – doing something for the child or doing something for himself? If there’s affection, obviously you would be more happy doing something for the child, even if you have to suffer doing it. Bhaktivinoda Thakura prayed, “My dear lord, the sufferings and the pains that I undergo to serve You are the greatest pleasures of my life”. So not only is there such a thing as selfless service, it is our eternal nature and to the degree we cultivate that spirit, to that degree we’ll actually find bliss in life.

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.
