Of Plants and Play
By His Divine Grace
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj
Sri Nrisingha-chaturdasi day,
24 May 2013, Sri Nabadwip Dham
[At the beginning, addressing one of the devotees present at the veranda:]
Your service is to take care of Govinda Kunda—to guard against those who take flowers, who steal plants, and so on. You like staying at Govinda Kunda, then always give some security there. OK? You will do this service.
You can see such a beautiful bay tree in Bamunpara, there is also a big kul (jujube) tree, but here I planted so many plants yesterday and today some naughty boys take the plants and throw them out... It is necessary to guard.
If you always want to play, you can play but with service—that place should be with service connection, then it will be sadhana-bhakti (devotional practice), otherwise it will karma.
I could plant so many nice trees here, but it takes time and I do not get time. Yesterday, I saw a tree that gives mango all the time, it gives mango even in winter season also, but where will I put it? This area gets flooded almost every day, it is very difficult.

| 'It does not look good for a saffron-clad brahmachari to go to a restaurant and take food there. Sitting there, gossiping and talking, is very ugly. They must be a little shy, they must think a little what they are doing.' |

| 'To the Supreme Lord, whose form is the embodiment of eternal existence, knowledge, and bliss, whose shark-shaped earrings are swinging to and fro, who is beautifully shining in the divine realm of Gokula, who [due to the offence of breaking the pot of yogurt that his mother was churning into butter and then stealing the butter that was kept hanging from a swing] is quickly running from the wooden grinding mortar in fear of Mother Yasoda, but who has been caught from behind by her who ran after Him with greater speed—to that Supreme Lord, Sri Damodara, I offer my humble obeisances.' | শ্রীশ্রীদামোদরাষ্টকম্ |
