chanting, so your anarthas cannot be destroyed. Even if you chant lakhs of offensive names, you cannot make any advancement at all. Many are chanting, but what are they getting? By chanting alone can one go to Vaikuëöha? No. Gurudeva has come here to teach you that you should enter into guru-saàsära, which means Kåñëa’s saàsära. You are a servant, you should render service, and enter into the guru-gåha, and then you will achieve perfection. Otherwise you cannot have perfection.
Join Kṛṣṇa-sevā-yajña What do you expect to receive upon entering into the saàsära of guru? Do you only want to take, and not give anything? You have received so much from guru, haven’t you? You have received a lot, but, unless you are a servant, unless you serve in the house of the guru, what is the benefit? There will be no benefit. Therefore, guru says, “Come and join. Enter into my saàsära, it is Kåñëa’s saàsära. Join here! Join here! Then all your anarthas will be destroyed.” Dedicate your body, mind and speech, your soul, everything to the service of çré-guru. You have come to the house of guru. He has opened a factory, so you should be an employee in that factory. Who can give you that kind of employment? Will the government give it to you? No. Gurudeva will give you employment in the factory he has opened. That employment is service to Kåñëa, kåñëa-sevä-yajïa. To offer service to Kåñëa, is yajïa, sacrifice, sevä-yajïa. Unless you join in that sevä-yajïa, unless you render service in guru-gåha, you cannot get the real benefit of this process at all.
