Once again, we have gathered here as each year. You have all assembled here—so many people listen to Hari-katha, listen to the message of the Lord. They have been practising hearing and chanting in the line of pure devotion that is shown to us by our guru-varga. Although some of us are now sixty-eighty years old, none of us have truly got an opportunity to purely glorify the Lord.
You love your wife, son, daughter, grandchildren so much, but can you say from the bottom of your heart that you love the Lord as much as you love them? That is the question. Your wife, sons, daughters and other relatives and friends are all disguised dacoits. A few days later they will leave you, or you will leave them, but you love your temporary relatives and satisfy them in so many different ways. Can any of us serve the Lord with as much love and affection as you have for them? That is my question to you.
You have a wife, son, daughter, friends, husband, relatives, grandchildren, but the relationship you have with them is bodily, it is a blood relation. But do we love the Lord to the same extent that we love them? We do not. We do not love God—we love our relatives and friends more... We do not even have faith in those who are related to the Lord—we do not have faith in our guru and Vaishnavs; we do not love them as much as we love our material family.
We create many relations in this world that last only one-two days, but the association of pure devotees is eternal. To get their association means to follow what they say. We always call our family and friends, we ask them how they are, what the news are and so on. We build a relationship with them, but do we have that kind of relationship with our Guru, Vaishnavs and the Lord? Why must I practise Krishna consciousness? Why must I serve the Lord? Why must I leave all the joys—all the gain and hopes in this world, all my desires for liberation and enjoyment—and serve the Lord? This is my question for you today.
