WE ARE SERVANTS

We are servants, Javier Figuerola
In the Bible it is said that he who does not live to serve, does for a living, in these words is the true essence of our lives. I agree that 1983 was a big change in my life, it was two in the morning and went to a nightclub and looked at the sky, all the stars were there were no clouds, and prayed to God to please save me this miserable life, I have an interest in knowing and loving God, to understand that we are not temporal matter but eternal spirit souls, understanding that awaits me after death, understanding that I suffer but I would not suffer, to understand where true happiness is in understanding which is the Kingdom of God or the spiritual world, the response was immediate, I heard an inner voice saying to me that it was time to wake up, that inner voice is called Paramatma, or the Holy Spirit, God at the heart of all living entities. From personal experience I say that there is no greater power in the universe to pray to God. In 1984 he joined the Hare Krishna movement and participated in volunteering at the Food for Life Vrindavan in India program, distributing prasadam, or food offered to God, traveled through 16 Latin countries and USA, God or Krishna circulated through my quarter of a million books of Srila Prabhupada, I will have talked to four million people face to face, that has helped me to see the suffering of the people and respect people, and collected a lot of money to provide food in Vrindavan in India, when I realized that the leaders of Hare Krishna had changed the instructions of Srila Prabhupada I left the movement, now my service to Srila Prabhupada is to share my experiences without wanting anything in return, this helps me a lot to be free of envy a publishing house has a spiritual book and I've already signed the contract for another book I tell all my personal experiences, and continue collecting donations to distribute food in India. When someone is interested in understanding the issues mentioned above, that person should pray to God with great earnestness and sincerity to send to a bona fide spiritual master to understand all these things, there then begins the good fortune for the soul. And what is a bona fide spiritual master ?, the answer is very simple, is the representative of God, Jesus Christ, Srila Prabhupada, Mohammed and others are representatives of God, and what are the representatives of God ?, to set prinicipios of religion, Jesus said I have come to abolish the law but to fulfill it, and Srila Prabhupada in the Srimad Bhagavatam, 4,8,54 says the guru comes and establishes religious principles, when the guru is going becomes clutter and bandits, thieves and crooks take advantage of the situation. It is said in the Holy Scriptures of India to find a bona fide guru in this age is harder to throw a lifeline to the ocean and a tortoise, and what a coincidence that when the turtle pokes his head gets into the lifeboat, and more difficult than it is to find a perfect and genuine disciple of a bona fide guru. There are people who present themselves as servants of humanity but have hidden desires, these people deceive themselves and others and never experience happiness in this life or the next. I am very happy in my personal life, I have the love and trust of many pious and simple-hearted people.
Usually people think that a guru is one who through a brainwashing exploits his disciples to bring you money and women to enjoy it, that make false and unauthorized gurus. A genuine guru is God's representative and servant of his disciples, Jesus said that I did not come to be served but to serve me, and Srila Prabhupada always said that a genuine and authorized guru is considered the servant of his disciples, he sees his disciples and their gurus, and he thinks it is God who has sent me to these people for me to train in the spiritual life. In Chapter 6 of Harinama- Chintamani says the relationship is genuine guru to disciple is eternal, as long as both keep their pure positions, however if the guru deviates, the disciple should reject it and vice versa, if the deviates guru disciple should reject if this is not carried out they are doomed. No one can go directly to God, God or Krishna tells Arjuna in the Adi Purana says that one who is My devotee is not My devotee, but who says that is the devotee of My devotee of My devotee of My devotee that is my devotee. And Shiva tells his wife Parvati that the highest worship is to worship God or Vishnu, but higher than that is worshiping His devotee. And Srila Visvanatha Chakravarti Thakura says in his Guruastaka to meet the representative of God, God is pleased, but if one does not meet the representative of God, no one knows what their destiny.
Thoughts to ponder
A true friend or friend is someone who helps you to go home, back to God, the spiritual world, without wanting anything in return.
My mother is the truth, my father is knowledge, my occupational duty is to serve God and humanity is my brother, kindness is my friend, tranquility is my wife, and forgiveness is my son. These six are my family members.
Srila Prabhupada always said that if you do not serve God have to serve your dog.
Chant the maha-mantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare and be happy.
