Topmost Service
Srila Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati Prabhupad, answering a question on the highest worshipable object, says, “Worship and service of the spiritual master is topmost, even higher than the worship and service of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna.” Srila Gurumaharaj is the embodiment of such topmost worship and service to his Gurudev, Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj. He is the role model for service to the spiritual master for whoever wants to have their Gurudev as their life and soul. Each and every moment of his life reflects the divine presence of his Gurudev with him.

Viraha-tattva: The Truth About Divine Separation
Srila Bhakti Pragyana Keshava Goswami Maharaj
Worldly lamentation and sorrow demoralize a man, crush his spirit and annihilate his strength, whereas, for the devotees of Bhagavān, viraha rejuvenates their spiritual zeal, inspiring them to render abundant service.

Sincere Endeavours
Bhakti Kumud Santa Goswami Maharaj
We find that we are unable to relish food if we are not hungry or thirsty. Similarly, if the hunger to attain love for the Supreme Lord has not arisen in our hearts, how can we become inclined to engage in activities that lead us to Him. In any case, our one-pointed objective must be to make sincere endeavours to accept what the community of saintly persons has given us and is giving us still.
