In The Spiritual World There Is No Such Thing As Service To The Senses, Simply Service To The Lord

[Gavin Swinden]

(But in the spiritual world there is no such thing as giving service to the senses. Simply giving service to the Lord. That is spiritual world)

 

"The formula is that in the spiritual world everyone is engaged in the service of the Lord. There is no other conception, as in this material world everyone is engaged to serve his senses—he likes something, and he is engaged for that purpose.

 

That service is there, but it is service to himself, his senses. But in the spiritual world there is no such thing as giving service to the senses. Simply giving service to the Lord. That is spiritual world. So as soon as you think that "Why shall I give service to Kṛṣṇa? Why not become independent?" you fall down immediately."
