What is our eligibility to serve the Lord?
Sarva rupe aasvadaye Krishna sevanandi
Cc. Adi. 5.11
Balarama serves Krishna. He is eligible. What is our eligibility then? Our only eligibility is that we are totally ineligible.
If we understand how we are ineligible then we can appreciate and be grateful for ANY seva we got - small or big.
Just like how Balaram is getting ananda doing seva, we too can by remembering below:
- I am a sinful person, I left Krishna and came to this world
- In every life I prioritised my body, my family, my friends, my work, my dog... Everyone except Krishna
- Yet the merciful Lord is sitting in my heart and Vaishnavas are engaging me in seva
- I cannot even blink without Krishna's help, so there is no question of "I did this seva". No, devotees are mercifully engaging and Krishna is agreeing to accept my service
- Let me cooperate with every devotee - junior and senior
