Hare Krishna Maharaj, PAMHO. Scriptures say Krishna can not be perceived through material senses and so we can only see Krishna through elevated souls like you Maharaj, thank you for being an inspiration in practicing Krishna bhakti !

Hare Krishna Swami Ji,

The humility in your words, "For the great souls, when others “take” and accept their service, they actually feel like they are being given to." reminds me of the poem which is apt for your post here. In this sacrifice by serving others, we receive more than we give to others, that is, we become free from the bondage of Karma - Bhagavad Gita Ch 3.9

"I never feel more given to,

than when you take from me.

When you understand the joy I feel,

caring for you.

And you know my giving isn’t done,

to put you in my debt,

but because I want to live the love,

I feel for you.

To receive with grace,

may be the greatest giving.

There’s no way that I can separate

the two.

When you give to me,

I give you my receiving.

When you take from me,

I feel so given to.

Song “Given To” (1978) by Ruth Bebermeyer from the album, “Given To.”

Hare Krishna!

"When we give, not seeking appreciation, reward or anything in return, then we enter a different arena. When giving becomes an act impelled by the heart, an expression of who we are, it attracts divine energy. For the great souls, when others “take” and accept their service, they actually feel like they are being given to." - I love this :)

Thank you, Keshava Swami Maharaj. I started listening to your videos and short reels in you tube maybe 1, and half years ago. Since then you have opened up this door for me to explore that seems infinitely vast and I am loving this journey. I sincerely believe that your words, stories and teachings are so valuable that everyone should at least try to understand it. I am only beginning in my journey, and I look forward continuing to get inspired by you in this spiritual path. Thank you so much once again.

Hare krishna Maharaj. 🙏please accept my humble Obesiances. Your teachings inspire me always . After reading this I feel like we need to pause and check ourselves, where we r going, in what consciousness.. Is it for self? Or include others? Sometimes somewhere in the heart there is a desire to attain something for self... That we have to look upon. Hare krishna.

Your servant 🙏
