It amazes me to see devotees go from coast to coast to attend marriages of relatives, yet make excuses for participating in the sadhana. That happens when God & Guru is still a low priority in life. The realization that God is our eternal relative has not yet dawned in the intellect.

The Sadhak needs to constantly try to divert his mind from the material world to pure thoughts of God and Guru.
When the mind does briefly get absorbed in loving thoughts of Radha Krishna and Guru, it is only due to their kind Grace. Else the nature of the mind is only to wander in the material world.

लोक हानि में संसारी वस्तुओं के अभाव में चिन्ता मत करो। कभी - कभी भगवान् लोक हानि जान बुझकर देते हैं।
भगवान् कहते हैं कि मैं जिस पर अनुग्रह करना चाहता हूँ , उसे ऐश्वर्यभ्रष्ट कर देता हूँ। वास्तव में तो संसार का जितना भी अभाव है वो भगवत कृपा ही है। भगवान् को यह चिन्ता होती है कि हमारा भक्त कहीं उसमें उलझ न जाये।
............जगद्गुरु श्री कृपालु जी महाराज।

ठाकुर युगल किशोर हमारों........चाकर हम पिय प्यारी के।
गुरु सेवा ही धर्म हमारों................दास न हम श्रुतिचारी के।।
.....श्री महाराज जी।

"सौंप दो इनके हाथों में डोरी, यह कृपालु हैं तंग दिल नहीं हैं |
Hand over the string of your life in His hands. After all, He is ‘Kripalu’ (merciful), not a miser."

In our countless lives we must have been hankering for the attainment of God and must have selected many Gurus. Either the Guru was not genuine or we were not deserving. Maybe we did not perform devotional practice in the right manner as told by him. One of us was definitely wrong otherwise we would have attained our goal. Eligibility is necessary in the world. If you want to study a Bachelor of Law degree, you should be a graduate first. Similarly, if you desire anything in the world you must be eligible for it.

आज्ञा सम न सुसाहिब सेवा।
सेवा का अभिप्राय है अपने स्वामी को सुख देने का लक्ष्य रखकर स्वामी की आज्ञानुसार सेवा करना। उनकी आज्ञापालन ही सेवा है,अपनी इच्छानुसार 'सेवा' सेवा नहीं।
