If a servant does not obey his master's orders and says that he is a servant who obeys orders, how is that possible? This is like the situation of a servant who says, "I am your servant, but I will not do what you say." A true servant stands ready to serve his master, always present in his service, and never disobeys his orders. Similarly, a true devotee is always ready to obey the Lord's commands; and through ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, asangata, guru bhakti, tapas, and jnana, he worships the Lord.
"Good service is done with good intentions, without any deceit;
Being present and obedient in service, one easily pleases the Lord." - Shri Devchandraji
Some ignorant people think that the service of the Lord is easy, simple, and effortless. "They think that just by offering a few flowers, a few coins, or a few offerings, the Lord is pleased! But the Lord is not so easily pleased, and his service is not so easy, simple, or effortless; it is very difficult. Because,
"Ignorant people consider service easy, but service is difficult and unique;
If a servant asks for something, he receives joy and wealth." - Shri Anandghanji
"The path to liberation is difficult, O Lord, but the path to liberation is easy, O Lord.
Abandon all attachments, then liberation is easy, O Lord.
Eliminate all karmas, then liberation is easy, O Lord.
Those who are absorbed in the Lord, and who serve him with devotion, find liberation easy, O Lord." - Shri Devchandraji
This devotion and worship of the Lord is the greatest thing, and therefore, the glory of devotion has been sung in all religions. The Gita says, "Of all yogis, he who is devoted to me, who dwells in me, who is full of faith, and who worships me with his heart, is the most dear to me." And the great Dharma scholar, Acharya Shriman Yashovijayji, has said, "I have studied the ocean of scriptures, and from it, I have found only this truth: devotion to the Lord is the seed of all happiness and wealth."
"Even the gods are not equal to a devotee,
A devotee is considered to be equal to me." - Gita
"The devotee who is devoted to the Lord,
He attains the highest happiness." - Shri Yashovijayji
