We can factor in three types of vaiṣṇava,
[Infinite Perspective]
third-class, second-class, first-class,
but why not serve all the vaiṣṇavas as possible?
Guru Mahārāj would say, even a new person,
someone, most newly connected person,
he said, “If this is everything we say it is,
and it is, and now they’ve expressed appreciation for it
and have been accepted, they’re now connected to it,
then you have to respect them.”
And he said, “God willing, maybe I’m going slowly
and they’re going very quickly,
and they will surpass me,
I want to be in a position to receive their grace one day.”
That’s Guru Mahārāj’s vision.
So … but I think of the times, how Gurudev,
he arranged the Paschatya Bhavan,
made the first building for the servitors
as the number of servitors for the Maṭh began to expand
from the Western world,
and big Gaura Purnima festival is coming,
and Gurudev, in service to all the devotees,
he’s arranging mosquito nets,
but its getting closer and closer to Gaura Purnima
and they’re not arriving,
and he’s thinking … and this is before the windows had
any screens or anything, ‘it is going to be tough, difficult.’
Then finally they arrived,
and Gurudev was smiling, like, ear to ear
and he went upstairs with Guru Maharaj
and he said, ‘Now everyone will be happy,
the mosquito nets have arrived.’
And Guru Maharaj looked up and he said,
‘But the mosquito section, they will not be happy.’
He’s even thinking of them.
They have a place in his heart.
