SERVING GURU IS ONLY OUR DUTY

Our masters, the Ones whom we serve and the Ones whom we worship are Shri Radha and Shri Krishna. The Vedas indicate that you should have the same devotion towards your Guru as you have towards Shri Radha and Shri Krishna. Hence our masters are Shri Radha, Shri Krishna and our beloved Guru. We have to serve only these Three. Worshipping them is our only duty. However, we should note that to know Shri Radha and Shri Krishna, surrender to Guru is extremely important.
The Vedas are asking us to take shelter under the lotus feet of your Guru, a Guru Who knows all Shastras and Who is God realized, that is, He is theoretical as well as practical. Such a surprise He needs to be.

The Vedas again tell us to get up, wake up and immediately go and get the spiritual knowledge from a Guru. Who are you, where do you have to go after death, what do you need to do now, get all this knowledge from your Guru.

Do not just keep your head in your Guru’s lotus feet, this is not surrender. Surrender your mind and serve Him. Obey His commands. Ask Him with curiosity..What is Jeev? What is Maya? Who is God? What is this world? What is this mind, intellect, body, etc..Once you get this knowledge, do your Sadhana.

The Bhagvat also says: Without a Guru, no one can cross the ocean of Maya. Hence, serving our Guru is our only duty, our only religion. We will not see God first. Only after seeing God, we will be able to serve Shyama Shyam in Golok. Before that, serve your Guru as if you are serving your God.
