The position of servant of God is the highest.

It is when one truly establishes oneself in the service of love and devotion that one offers Krishna, God, the supreme person, that one truly becomes independent.

Men of reduced intelligence remain unable to appreciate the real position of the eternal servants of Lord Krishna. The use of the word «servant» plunges them into perplexity or even confusion, they cannot understand that this form of service has nothing to do with material servitude.

The position of the servant of God is the highest. He who can comprehend this truth, and who then regains his original nature of eternal servant to the Lord, thus becomes perfectly independent. He finds true freedom.

What does it mean to “serve God”, and to be “servant of God”?

To be a servant of God is in the first place to love Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, with all his strength, with all his heart, with all his thought, with all his spiritual essence, and to desire nothing else but to serve Him alone.

It is to offer a total obedience filled with affection to Krishna, in order to satisfy Him, to please Him, to make Him happy, but also to realize a wish, a desire or a will expressed by the Lord, and to intercede in His Name among the beings of this material world, to transmit to them the true knowledge of which God is the author, for their well-being or even their accession to deliverance.

It is to use all its senses, in order to place them with love at the exclusive service of the spiritual senses of the Lord.

It is to surrender oneself totally to the Lord, to offer him with undisguised joy all the fruits of our works, to serve him with love and devotion, to enjoy it, and to love to satisfy him.

It is to take pleasure in contributing to the joy of Lord Krishna, to love Him and to participate in His divine joy.

It is to be constantly inclined to satisfy the Lord, to sing or listen to his glories, as well as to describe at all times his divine attributes.

Acting within the framework of the service of love and devotion imbued with attachment to the Lord, coupled with a total absorption or meditation in the Sovereign Being, is to consecrate one’s life and body to the mission of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

With this sublime knowledge, let us all return to the natural, original, eternal, prestigious and glorious position of eternal servants that we had with Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, at the beginning of all things, and serve Him with love and devotion.
